It was no small feat for Jack Black to find a house to buy in the Los Angeles area. It was a two-year search, local real estate agents report. But now the “Gulliver’s Travels” star has bought Flea’s Los Feliz-area home for $5,965,000, Redfin.com shows.
Sitting on a flag-shaped lot of more than half an acre, the two-story 1915 house had been renovated by Flea (aka Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Michael Balzary), who added a Topanga Canyon ambience. The kitchen is infused with a hippy vibe.
Seven bedrooms and three bathrooms are included in the home’s 6,500 square feet of living space. The house has a swimming pool, a motor court and solar roof panels.
Flea, 48, bought the house in 2008 for $3.85 million, according to public records. He also owns a home in Malibu.
