Red Hot Chili Pepper Anthony Kiedis’s Former Beverly Hills Home Lists for $11.25 Million
If you want these kinds of digs, it’s Californication!
Anthony Kiedis, the frontman for the Los Angeles-based rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, snapped up a Tuscan-esque home in Beverly Hills way back in 2004, around the same time the group recorded their Grammy-winning album, Stadium Arcadium. The lead singer lived at the gated Davis Drive residence until 2007, when he sold it to screenwriter-director Akiva Goldsman, best known for scripting the four-time Oscar-winning 2001 biopic A Beautiful Mind starring Russell Crowe.

Property records show that Goldsman offloaded the three-and-a-half-acre compound in 2018 for $7.8 million to Seagram heir Eli Bronfman and his then wife Nicole Gertner. In 2022, after they split up, the vine-covered estate was transferred to Gertner, while Bronfman went on to drop $35 million in an off-market deal for a bachelor pad in New York City.
All that to say, Gertner is now parting ways with Kiedis’s former abode and has put the place up for sale. This time, the property is priced at a cool $11.25 million. Carl Gambino and Alyson Richards of Compass share the listing with Drew Fenton at Carolwood Real Estate.
Originally built in 1951, the 6,000-square-foot spread comprises five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. The lavish retreat is oozing with Old World charm and benefits from a bell tower that’s still intact. Accessed via a spiral staircase, the space not only serves as an interesting design element but is equipped to double as an office or a workout studio.
Internally, the residence channels a certain European je ne sais quoi with elegant paned windows, glassy French doors, exposed beam ceilings, and stately fireplaces. There are also tons of terracotta tile, natural stone, raw wood, and wrought-iron accents throughout. On the first floor, you’ll find a living area grand in proportions and an open-concept chef’s kitchen. The latter is kitted out with a walk-in pantry with lots of storage and a cozy breakfast nook.
Among the more opulent features is the primary suite, which occupies the second level. In true rockstar fashion, the room is complete with private balconies, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like ensuite bathroom. Outside, the grounds feel akin to a Zen-like sanctuary filled with lush greenery and a trellis-covered patio. An alfresco fireplace, swimming pool, and dining area are certainly perks.
