After 20 years of calling it home, rapper, producer, and businessman extraordinaire Dr. Dre is moving out of his lavish mansion in the Woodland Hills neighborhood of LA. The house, all 16,200 square feet of it, cost Dre a little less than $2.4 million back in 1999, and now he's looking to sell it for $5.25 million – so not a bad deal, especially considering the 20 years of inflation that’s taken place in between now and when he bought it.
Casa Dre is not just a house; it’s a statement. This stunning property features eight bedrooms and an impressive 13 bathrooms, nestled under the Woodland Hills and behind a secure gate with an imposing driveway. With three floors serviced by a private elevator, it offers a spacious master suite that can accommodate Dre’s baby grand piano, although it's unclear if that will be included in the asking price. Additionally, the master suite boasts two bathrooms and a dedicated hair/makeup salon for convenience.
The home’s grand foyer is what Variety describes as "the size of a shopping-mall atrium." Outdoor amenities include an "Olympic length saltwater pool" and a stone patio complete with a fireplace, perfect for entertaining guests. Inside, there’s a home theater room, a gym, a full dine-in kitchen, and a kitchenette upstairs. Adding a unique touch, the game room features a 150-gallon fish tank. There’s even an attached guesthouse with its own kitchenette and separate entrance, making it a versatile space for visitors. Only Dr. Dre knows the kinds of big names that have probably spent the night in those rooms over the last 20 years!
Dr. Dre's G-Funk empire includes quite a bit of real estate holdings, including a Brentwood mansion he purchased for $50 million in 2014. However, this particular home must hold a lot of memories since he’s owned it since 1999. But all things must pass, and now he’s letting it go, provided he can find a buyer.
