Bill Withers‘ old Hollywood Hills pad, where he lived for decades, has sold off-market for a cool $3.7M — 5 years after he unloaded it — right before he died.
Real estate sources tell TMZ … the mansion’s new owner is none other than Belwood Investments, a real estate property-tech app — who are planning on making major renovations, adding a suspended pool in the back, and flipping it for investors’ profit.
Belwood Investments is a “real estate crowdfunding firm” that lets people invest in fixing up homes … and these are the same people who scooped up Kanye West‘s controversial gutted Malibu estate for $21 million.
But back to Bill’s old pad — his OG recording studio is still intact on the ground floor. The tech CEO who bought the house from Bill in 2019 used it often, since his roommate was a music producer, and we are told famous artists like Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth recorded in it.
According to online real estate records, Bill bought the home in 1998 for $714K.
Here’s hoping Bill’s legacy sticks around through all the changes. As we reported in 2020, the three-time Grammy winner known for soulful hits like “Lean On Me” and “Ain’t No Sunshine” died at 81 from heart complications.
The Agency Beverly Hills’ Jean-Baptiste Rugiero and Mehdi Maamri handled both the buyer and the seller in this off-market deal that went down in June.
