Rod Stewart cuts $6M off price of Beverly Park manor

British rocker asks $74M for canary-colored English Country-style estate

The first cut is the deepest — especially for Rod Stewart, who lopped $6 million off the price of his Beverly Park manor after a $10 million bump before Christmas.

The British-born singer and songwriter behind “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” has again relisted his 28,000-square-foot mansion at 23 Beverly Park Terrace, now asking $74 million, Mansion Global reported.

In June, the now 78-year-old rocker sought $70 million for the English Country-style estate. In mid-December he raised the asking price to $80 million. Stewart originally bought the 3.3-acre lot in the gated celebrity enclave in 1991 for $12 million.

A couple of years later, he enlisted architect Richard Landry, “king of the megamansion,” to design the nine-bedroom, 12-bathroom manor house. 

The canary yellow, two-story mansion that some compare to a French chateau has patterned marble floors, wood paneling, crystal chandeliers, egg-and-dart moldings, gilded accents and hand-forged wrought iron work.

The 33,000-square-foot estate comes with a three-story, 4,500-square-foot guesthouse, a five-car garage and two gyms, plus a pool and a full-size soccer field — a sport for which Stewart is a major fan.

The Los Angeles home, featured nearly two decades ago in Architectural Digest, has two ornate double-glass doors flanked by four Corinthian columns.

Inside, a grand foyer has marble floors, more Corinthian columns and ornate mirrors.

The Neoclassical interior has a living room with a 200-year-old French crystal chandelier, a bar, fireplace and French doors leading to a covered loggia overlooking the gardens.

Highlights include a wood-paneled library with a chandelier, a formal dining room big enough to seat 20 guests, wine room, tea room, eat-in chef’s kitchen and a “speakeasy” with green wood paneling and a screening room.

It’s not clear why Stewart, married to model Penny Lancaster, wants to move. The  Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has homes in Palm Beach, Fla., and in the United Kingdom.

“This house has a very extensive family history,” listing agent Tomer Fridman at Compass told the Robb Report in December. “He raised his (eight) children there and his family lived there for 30 years … so it makes sense that, despite all of their amazing experiences, he’s ready to move on.”
