Rock star Bret Michaels from the glam metal band Poison has sold his home in the sleepy Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas, California.
According to a Wednesday report from TMZ, the 60-year-old rocker wrapped up the deal for an impressive $6.25million.
The singer – whose daughter Jorja graduated high school this year – purchased the sprawling property for $4.8million three years ago so he made a nice profit on the deal.
The two-story pale gray home has plenty of space at 5,950 square feet. And there is a generous amount of room outside as well with a lush green lawn, a swimming pool with a bridge and hot tub, a covered patio and a white gazebo.
One of the top features is the view of the surrounding tree-spotted mountains that are a treat to look at during sunset.
The most impressive room in the home is the living room.
It has blonde hardwood floors, a high ceiling with recessed lighting, a built-in bookshelf with space for a flat screen TV, and a rectangular fire pit that has a glass wall.
Another room to the side of the living room is a play room.
In that space there is a wet bar, a small butler’s pantry, and plenty of space for either a dining room table or a pool table. A rod iron chandelier with eight lights hangs in the center of the room.
The kitchen has a lot to offer like up-to-date appliances, a generous island with drawers and cupboards and three hanging lights above, a large sink and a double oven.
The outdoor space is breathtaking.
The main attraction is the uniquely shaped swimming pool that has a stone bridge with steps that makes crossing to a higher plateau easy. On that plateau is a white gazebo with room for lounge furniture.
There is also a statue off to the side that may or may not be included in the sale.
The agent was Jordan Cohen, who represented both seller and buyer. He recently released the book The Agent’s Edge.
Bret also recently snapped up a new home: in May he bought a $5.4M mini mansion in a gated community in Westlake Village. Cohen also handled that deal.
The new home was built in 2019.
The one-story structure has many modern features like a motor court, a large swimming pool with attached hot tub, fire pit, barbecue area and a wine room.
There are five bedrooms and six baths in the 5,400 square foot space.
The family room has a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, wet bar and walls of glass that looks out to a terrace.
Michaels (born Bret Michael Sychak) came to fame as the front man for Poison, which was formed in 1983 and had its greatest success in the late ’80s and early-’90s.
The group has sold over 45 million albums to date and is best known for its number-one single Every Rose Has Its Thorn.
In addition to multiple seasons of his VH1 reality series, Michaels is also known for winning season three of future President Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice.
This come after he tried to offload his home in the Los Angeles County neighborhood of Westlake Village.
The singer put his suburban Mediterranean-style home up for sale for $4.495 million in September 2020, according to Variety.
The hair metal icon originally purchased the home in 2015 for $3.49 million, the Los Angeles Times reported at the time.
The property is ideal for anyone looking for privacy, thanks to its gates and tall hedges.
The 6,683 square foot property is located at the end of a horseshoe-shaped driveway decorated with palm trees and rests on 2.5 acres.
Michaels, who hosted the VH1 dating series Rock Of Love, has added some of his hair metal touches like a Cheetah print carpet going up his elegant curved staircase and a white baby grand piano.
The home features six bedrooms and six bathrooms, as well as a powder room.
The cheetah print carpet makes a reappearance in the study, which features lovely built-in shelves and cabinet and has an excellent view of the yard.
Michaels’ sunken living room is decorated with a thick shag carpet and featured French doors exciting to the back yard, along with a cozy fireplace.
In place of a standard dining room, he converted it into a games room with a pool table and some of his guitar memorabilia.
Home theaters are a common touch for celebrities, but Michaels decorated his modest brown space with posters from some of the films he was featured in, and he included a plush bean bag chair designed to look like a boulder.
After enjoying a film, guests can be entertained at the bar, which featured plenty of sitting space, as well as an other large TV and fireplace and some of the musician’s classic guitars lining the wall.
Michaels’ kitchen includes double sinks and an island for casual snacking, as well as an intimate circular table by the windows with excellent views of the property.
The master suite has plenty of space and its own fireplace, as well as striking vaulted ceilings.
New inhabitants looking to stay in shape without leaving the grounds will get plenty of use out of the mirrored exercise room, which the singer stocked with exercise machines and weights.
The grounds, which are dotted with palm trees and other tropical plants, feature multiple covered patios, ideal for entertaining outside on a sunny day (or the rare rainy afternoon).
There’s also a long pool to cool down in after a long day.
