While she may not currently be gracing the property with her popstar presence, singer Katy Perry once owned this ultra-private Beverly Hills estate tucked quietly away from all of the noise and media attention the industry brings. Though it brings main character energy with its design prestige, it actually served as her larger estate’s guest house until she sold it in 2021.
The five-bedroom home, which just listed for $8.495 million, was built in 1960 and designed by legendary L.A. architect Paul R. Williams. He was known for design principles that seamlessly blended a home’s scale with its surrounding environment. Today, his creations are historic gems and are increasingly rare to find on the market.
At this property, classic French doors not only greet you upon arrival, but are spread throughout the residence so that natural light can pour in alongside peaceful garden views. While Beverly Hills is known for its enduring grandeur, the 4,410-square-foot house combines both formal and informal spaces, making it feel inviting and livable rather than like a museum where you’re afraid to touch anything or move. A lovely living room opens directly to the backyard and pool, while the formal dining room and chef’s kitchen do the same for a continuous, intentional connection to the outdoors.
Upstairs, the primary suite likely made Perry’s guests feel like L.A. royalty. It has its own balcony overlooking the lush grounds, which exude complete leisure with a sparkling pool, outdoor terraces, and abundant plantings.
Josh Flagg of Compass holds the polished listing with multiple claims to fame. For buyers looking to spend even more in Beverly Hills, J. Lo’s property nearby is asking $50 million.
