For over 50 years, the London-born-and-raised Rod Stewart’s distinctive raspy voice and charismatic stage presence have made him a beloved and successful artist. His all-time classic songs including “Mandolin Wind”, “Tonight’s the Night”, “Forever Young” and “Maggie May” have provided a soundtrack to generations from boomers to Gen Z.

As popular in the United States as he is in his native England, Stewart is still rocking audiences everywhere, especially in his ongoing Las Vegas show that began in 2011 and starts up again in November.

As one of music’s biggest stars, Stewart’s home is also huge with 13 bedrooms and 28,500 sq ft on over 1.2 hectares of prime Los Angeles North Beverly Park turf. The property is currently for sale at US$70 million.

A bit flamboyant, just like the owner, the home has a striking yellow exterior, a large Las Vegas-style fountain and ornate double doors that welcome visitors to the home’s grand foyer.

The first floor has two sitting rooms with intricate mouldings, traditionally decorated and filled with Old World treasures.

There is a gourmet kitchen next to the tea room and the den with fireplaces and loggias, a wine room, an exquisite dining room that seats 20, a bar that rivals the best of the European taverns with a large mirror and several oil-painted Renaissance nudes, French doors that lead to the covered loggia, manicured grounds, a wood-panelled library and wood-inlay floors.

In case one bar isn’t enough, there is also a green speakeasy perfect for a nightcap – perhaps following a concert. There’s also a 4,500 sq ft guest house.

A double staircase leads to the private quarters, including the primary bedroom suite with dual bathrooms – one is pink and the other is green.

With over 120 million records sold worldwide, Stewart has also received numerous accolades, including induction into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame twice, both as a solo artist and as a member of the band Faces.
