Tommy Lee Scores Japanese-Inflected Sanctuary in Brentwood for $4.2M

Published: May 8, 2021 | By: American Luxury Staff

With his Calabasas residence on the market—the home is currently listed at $4.599 million—drummer and rock-and-roll therapy advocate Tommy Lee has purchased a new residence in Southern California. Toward the end of last month, Lee tossed down $4.15 million for a 1961-built four-bedroom house in the Los Angeles area.

The midcentury-inspired residence is considerably more manageable than the Calabasas home, which boasts nearly 10,000 sq. ft. of interior space, and features interior landscaping by way of a large atrium. Lee’s new, 4,266 square-footer contains a greenhouse living room, though, so that particular amenity survived the transition nearly intact; likewise the Asian influence.

The earthy, wood-heavy open-concept kitchen and dining room is nearly as glass-heavy, with steel-framed windows and doors filling its exterior walls. The kitchen is finished with butcher block countertops, and the room’s support posts and exposed ceiling beams add a modicum of rusticity to this fundamental living area.

Other details of the shared spaces include a masonry fireplace in the midcentury style, and an open-air courtyard/deck. The bedrooms are all very individual, with unfinished ceilings, exposed beams and joists, and floating shelves for ornament. Outside is the property’s big draw, though; a stretch of lush gardens and lawns punctuated with a koi pond and a tree house, and a recreation area with a pool, fire feature and grill station.

Lee is a founding member of Mötley Crüe. He has released three solo albums, the most recent being last year’s Andro.
