Bill Withers' Hollywood Hills home sells for $3.7M... to same firm that bought Kanye West's Malibu mansion

As a lifestyle expert with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the sale of Bill Withers’ Hollywood Hills home is a fascinating tale of real estate and music history intertwining beautifully. The fact that it was sold for $3.7 million, significantly more than what Withers bought it for in 1998, speaks volumes about the ever-evolving Los Angeles property market.


Bill Withers’ Hollywood Hills residence, where he lived during the final two decades of his life, was recently purchased.

The home has sold for $3.7 million in an off-market deal, according to a new report from TMZ.

In 1998, the musician bought a house priced at $714,000 and sold it for a staggering $2.835 million in the year 2019, mere months before he tragically passed away due to heart issues in March 2020, at the age of 81.

The new owner of the house is Belwood Investments, a company specializing in ‘crowd funding for real estate,’ which enables individuals to invest in numerous restoration projects.

One day prior, the same company grabbed attention when it was disclosed that they acquired Kanye West’s Malibu residence for $21 million – a significant discount compared to the initial asking price of $53 million.

The ground-floor of the house previously served as a unique recording studio by its former owner, Withers, but it was later utilized effectively by the subsequent proprietor.

According to TMZ, the house was purchased by an unidentified tech executive who lived with a music producer as his roommate.

The producer arranged for artists such as Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth to create songs within their own on-site recording facility.

The house dates back to 1990 and boasts approximately 5,000 square feet of usable area divided across three stories.

Among the house’s multiple bedrooms, one was transformed into the previously mentioned recording studio, featuring both a control room and sound booth.

Additional comforts within the house feature cozy fireplaces, one each in the master bedroom and the living area, plus an elevator and a convenient bar area for drinks.

From my vantage point as a fervent admirer, the abode boasts balconies offering breathtaking sights of the city merging into the horizon of the ocean – a stunning spectacle reminiscent of the Mediterranean lifestyle!

Originating from simple beginnings, born to a coal miner in West Virginia, he ultimately triumphed as a three-time Grammy Award-winning artist.

He is particularly renowned for popular songs such as “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Lean On Me,” “Grandma’s Hands,” “Use Me,” “Just the Two of Us” and “Lovely Day.”

In the prime of my thriving profession, I chose to depart from the industry back in 1985, a decision that led to me becoming the focus of the captivating 2009 documentary titled “Still Bill.”

After 1985, he didn’t release another full studio album, but several compilation albums came out from 1994 to 2013.

2005 saw Withers being honored with induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, while 2015 marked his recognition by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
