Record producer Kenneth Brian Edmonds, better known as Babyface, wants to produce a sale of his longtime Los Angeles estate. He’s asking $7,999,000, according to the website Dirt.

The Grammy winner bought the trophy home in 2004 for $4.1 million. It is one of only 200 homes in the exclusive community of Bel Air Crest.

Built in 2000, the 7,508-square-foot mansion has six bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms.

The grand home features a columned front door, two-story entry, dual staircases, tile flooring, coffered ceilings, and a chandelier centerpiece. Light pours in from a large skylight, and there’s an elevator at the ready.

The fancy floor plan features a formal living room and dining room. A great room with a fireplace, wet bar, and French doors opens to the back deck.

The modern kitchen serves up a large island with bar seating and a breakfast nook.

Upstairs, the main bedroom comes with a double-sided fireplace, sitting area, walk-in closet, and bath with dual vanities and a separate tub. 

On the lower level, luxe amenities abound, including a temperature-controlled wine room, two gym areas, and a home theater with tiered

seating.
