The former cast member of “The Voice” has put her remodeled home in the guard-gated Bell Canyon community up for sale at slightly under $3 million, following her purchase of an 11.5-acre Topanga mansion.
Melanie Martinez has surprisingly listed her custom-built equestrian spread in the prestigious guard-gated Bell Canyon community due north of Calabasas for sale. Melanie Martinez recently upgraded into a sprawling Mediterranean-style property in Topanga Canyon, an unincorporated Los Angeles neighborhood tucked into the remote hills between Malibu and the San Fernando Valley.
Records reveal that the singer, songwriter, and producer—who rose to fame as a The Voice competitor in 2012 at the age of sixteen and went on to become a “pop star plucked from Dr. Seuss’ imagination”—spent $3.1 million over the course of the summer on her new residence, which boasts three bedrooms and four bathrooms in a little more than 3,300 square feet of living space.
The other property, which she won in a bidding fight in August 2022 for $2.1 million, is currently for sale at $2.85 million.
Nestled on an almost an acre of densely forested land behind a gated brick driveway, this 1979 custom-built home with creamy stucco and wood trims is rather unique. During Martinez’s brief stay, the two-story home underwent stylish updates. It has 3,420 square feet of open-concept living space with four bedrooms and a matching number of bathrooms, hardwood floors, high ceilings, arched doorways, and intricate woodwork throughout.
Particularly standing apart is a colonnade doorway that opens into an eye-discovering lobby showing a vaulted roof and flight of stairs. From that point, steps drop to a lounge brandishing a stone chimney, mass of windows and wet bar, while a family room flaunting a two-way white block chimney interfaces with a “totally reconsidered” kitchen furnished with an eat-in island and top-level pure machines. Somewhere else are an office space and a lounge area beat by a created iron crystal fixture.
Higher up, the extensive essential room is displayed by a sitting region, stroll in storeroom, and spa-like shower outfitted with double vanities, a splashing tub and separate shower; what’s more, outside, the separated patio has a sundeck-encased pool and spa flanked by a grill and kitchen arrangement with a chimney, alongside a covered porch ideal for outdoors engaging. There’s likewise a horse shelter with three pony slows down, as well as a motorcourt and a joined three-vehicle carport out front.
The Bell Canyon home, which is listed with Steve Clark of Backbeat Homes, also has a HOA fee of $280 per month, which gives the new owner access to the tennis courts, clubhouse, fitness center, and trails for bicycling, riding, and horseback riding.
The 28-year-old New Yorker is contracted to Atlantic Records, where she launched her EP Dollhouse and her debut single. The eccentric, visually-focused musician then released the EP After School and the studio albums Cry Baby and K-12 (which came with a companion movie). Martinez most recently released Portals, which made its Billboard 200 debut at No. 2.
