Paul Anka, the Canadian-American singer-songwriter best known for his hit songs “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” and “I Love You, Baby,” needs a buyer for his Los Angeles-area mansion.
The musician, who wrote the English lyrics to “My Way,” is asking $10 million for the place.
Anka purchased the primo property in Thousand Oaks, CA, in 2007 for $3,962,000 and is clearly looking for a hefty return on his investment.
Anka reportedly owns numerous homes in the area. Britney Spears, John Fogerty, and Wayne Gretzky are among a host of other celebs who call Thousand Oaks home.
The luxurious, French-inspired property has four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a recording studio, all situated throughout 7,000 square feet.
Built in 2006, the residence sits on nearly 6 acres in Sherwood Country Club’s private, gated community.
Luxe living
If upscale living rings your chimes, this is the place for you. From the elegant, gated driveway to the stunning facade, this California estate is picture-perfect opulence.
At the home’s entry, there’s a large open foyer with a high ceiling and stone floors. Multiple sitting areas with bright casement windows are situated off of the main hallway. Look closely, and you can spot the musician’s memorabilia on the walls. One of the sitting areas boasts a wall of mirrors, and the other features a chic chandelier.
The built-in shelves, wainscoting, and regal molding throughout are also nice touches.
Cook in style
The recently updated chef’s kitchen features a massive center island, roomy pantry, and windowed breakfast nook.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a large living room with a wall of windows that open to a pretty patio space. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy drinks and dinners. A formal dining room with mountain views is also close by.
The suite life
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. The primary bedroom has large picture windows, dark hardwood floors, and a modern fireplace.
Its updated bathroom boasts a large soaking tub, glass-encased shower, and wall of mirrors.
Party hard
The estate’s billiards room and wine cellar will instantly upgrade any party or gathering. And there’s also a recording studio, where you can lay down your next tracks.
The great outdoors
With its infinity-edge pool and freestanding, glass, air-conditioned gym, the backyard is a dreamy oasis.
Next to the gym is a full bath and outdoor shower, perfect for freshening up after a workout or pool day.
Anka, 82, recorded his first single, ‘I Confess,’ when he was just 14 years old. Since then, he’s released dozens of albums and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1993.
