Motley Crue Drummer Tommy Lee Drops Price of Calabasas Home to $5M

Published: June 1, 2017 | By: American Luxury Staff

Musician Tommy Lee has had a home on the market for a little over a year now, but hasn’t seen a solid offer. Initially listed at $5.9 million in April of last year, the drummer recently dropped the price considerably, to $4.995 million, to bring in a buyer.

The contemporary-style home dates to the late 1980’s, and is an interesting Japanese-influenced amalgam of naturalistic ideals and contemporary design. Log beams and bamboo are used as accents, shoji styling was employed for the garage door, and a three-story atrium with koi pond and water feature incorporates the natural world with the dwelling.

The house measures 9,991 square feet, and contains five bedrooms and 5.5 baths. The master bedroom is a somewhat clumsy mix of moody tones, ornate furnishings, modern lines, and Japanese flourishes, but it’s interesting nonetheless; a set of sliding glass doors open to broadly reveal the patio and spa.

With flourishes and fixtures lurching wildly between Gothic, Victorian and—very broadly—Asian inspiration, the house makes a definite impression. Enthusiastic, if not cohesive. The kitchen is the most conventional room in the house, with stainless, granite and mid-toned wood cabinetry, and a recessed ceiling.

More interesting rock-n-rooms, though, include the formal dining room, with its dark pocket ceiling, fresco painting, and gloomy chandelier out of a Hammer movie, the master bath and sitting room, both papered in neo-bordello prints, and the full music studio.

The exterior of the home includes terraces, patios, and a piano-shaped pool. City views are lovely.

After a farewell tour, Motley Crue broke up definitively in 2015. Tommy Lee is currently somewhere jamming.
