Marshmello looking to offload his Los Angeles mansion for $7.9 million

Marshmello, one of the world’s most listened to electronic dance music (EDM) artists, has decided to call time on his Los Angeles home, listing the property with a US$5.495 million ($7.9 million) price tag.

Located in the celebrity centric locale of Laurel Canyon, the platinum, chart-topping music producer, who famously dons a giant marshmallow atop his head to hide his identity, has owned the abode since 2017.

Since Marshmello splashed what was thought to be around US$3.7 million ($5.3 million) on the avant-garde pad, the DJ (real name Christopher Comstock) has subsequently purchased a much larger mansion in the platinum neighbourhood of Beverly Hills, hence the reason for the sale.

And although the 30-year-old’s Laurel Canyon digs are nowhere near as plush or grand as his Beverly Hills home, the contemporary structure still has myriad benefits.

Spanning two levels and boasting five bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms and a total internal living space of 450 square metres, the avant-garde structure benefits from a large pool with water feature, vast master suite, a floating staircase and three separate fireplaces.

If the ‘Happier’ producer can achieve his asking price, he’ll make a handy profit in the sales process.

However, considering Comstock’s music has been listened to several billion times over, and he earned a reported US$40 million in one year alone, we’d hazard a guess that money wasn’t the motivating factor for the artist’s decision to sell.
