DJ Khaled seeks buyer for decked-out waterfront home
Property showcases the hip-hop producers flashy side
DJ Khaled is back in the housing game. A few months after dropping $21.75 million on a Miami Beach mansion, the hip-hop producer is now looking to part with his old place in the area. The waterfront home is on the market for a dollar shy of $8 million.
Set in the gated community of Island Estates, the custom pad showcases Khaled’s flashy touch. A 14-karat gold chandelier with Swarovski crystals hangs from a 30-foot ceiling in the foyer, and off the master suite, a sneaker closet is emblazoned with the words “We the Best.”
Within some 6,700 square feet of living space are five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a movie theater, a wood-paneled office and a formal dining room. The chef ’s kitchen and living room take in clear views of the waterway. A spiral staircase and elevator navigate each of the home’s three levels.
Marble and walnut floors alternate throughout the interior. Purple finishes and a chandelier accent the master suite, which expands to a lounge and veranda.
The half-acre grounds also hold a fire pit, grill, swimming pool, spa and separate parking for cars and golf carts. On the property’s edge, perks of waterfront living: 240 feet of frontage and a 50-foot boat dock.
Janet Ben Zvi of One Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.
