Beck’s Former Mediterranean-Style Retreat Lists For $8M
Built in 1928, the Los Angeles home features hand-painted ceilings, stained-glass windows, and an ivy-covered courtyard.
Throughout the years, Grammy award–winner Beck has owned several properties around Los Angeles, including this renovated 1920s estate in Hancock Park. The singer-songwriter bought the six-bedroom home in 2002 and sold it three years later for $4,200,000. Now, the 6,568-square-foot residence is back on the market, with the current owner seeking $7,999,000.
All of the home's public spaces have access to the central courtyard, allowing a seamless flow for entertaining.

The courtyard's spacious outdoor sitting area is located right off the main kitchen.
