Neil Diamond Buys Malibu Beach House For $7.25M

Forget “Coming to America”; Neil Diamond is coming to Malibu!

The singer-songwriter just bought a beach house with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms in Malibu for $7.25 million. According to Trulia, the 4,692-square-foot waterfront home was built in 1996. The home features soaring ceilings and walls of glass, an open floor plan with a spacious great room, gourmet chef’s kitchen, dining room and a dazzling master suite with dramatic ocean views and plenty of closet space. Outside, there is a spacious patio, an infinity pool and spa, barbecue area and direct beach access.

Diamond will certainly be in good company as the Malibu neighborhood of Encinal Bluffs is also the location of the exquisite Architectural Digest–featured home once owned by Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi (which they bought from Brad Pitt). The duo later flipped the property, making a $1 million profit by selling it to cosmetics exec Victoria Jackson.

The listing agents on the property were Sandro Dazzan and Irene Dazzan-Palmer of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.
