Last April, ‘The Queen of Pop’ Madonna purchased a 12,500-square-foot LA home from R&B star the Weeknd for $19.3 million. After just a year, The Material Girl made a few upgrades to the three-acre Hidden Hills estate, like adding a new gym and yoga studio and has relisted the 3-acre property at $25.995 million, or $6.7 million more than it was bought for—ensuring a sizeable return on investment. The house is located in the star-studded Hidden Hills neighbourhood and also comes with a guest cottage.
Both structures combined house nine bedrooms, nine bathrooms and two half baths. The two-level main house boasts a minimalistic design dressed in white, with high ceilings and wide-plank wooden floors; the open-air design helps the space to feel large and airy. Past the adjoining family room with a marble-framed fireplace lie a formal dining area, neon-lit wine cellar, an office and a screening room. All seven bedrooms are located on the second floor, including the master suite which has a huge walk-in closet and private terrace. It even has its own luxe marble-lined bathroom with a separate tub and shower, naturally.
As you venture outside, there are a variety of entertainment amenities including an infinity-edge saltwater pool and an eye-catching orange neon basketball court. Horse breeders and riders alike will also be able to house their brood in the home’s eight-stall barn. And though the 63-year-old singer did add her own personal touches to the home, including a newly built gym and yoga studio, new owners may consider the property’s neon-lit, five-bay garage its crown jewel.
The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, purchased the property for $18.2M in 2017. While the “Blinding Lights” singer has since upgraded to a nearly $70M mansion in Bel-Air, you’ll still find yourself surrounded with big-name neighbours like Drake, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith and some of the Kardashians. Best of all, the home has a security gate and driveway that will keep unwanted visitors (and paparazzi) out and at a distance.
Representatives for Madonna didn’t say why she’s making this move, but it’s safe to say that, if sold for asking, this is a win-win situation for all parties involved.
