The Weeknd has style: Explore The Weeknd’s breathtakingly chic home

Abel Tesfaye – better known as artist The Weeknd – has put his L.A. home up for sale for £20 million, offering us a rare glimpse at his minimalist decorating style.

The ultra-private, nine-bedroom estate is tucked away in an exclusive gated community in the celebrity enclave of Hidden Hills in L.A.’s far western suburbs. Aside from a modern and stylish interior, the sprawling house’s stand-out features include a wine room and neon-lit car garage, an eye-poppingly bright-orange basketball court (which can be spotted from Google Earth, apparently) and a seriously stylish pool house.

The 13,500-square-foot home is accessed via a private road, and is surrounded by three acres of manicured gardens, and towering redwood trees and tall hedgerows for privacy.

Nearby is a glass, climate-controlled illuminated wine room.

If you thought the wine room’s lighting was a bit flash, wait until you see the light-up garage. The five-car garage has LED lighting strips embedded into the high-gloss floor, which can be lit up in three different neon lights; purple, blue and green.
