Back in April 2016, Ice Cube shelled out $7.25 million to secure himself the Marina del Rey property that had once been priced at $10 million by actor and martial artist Jean-Claude Van Damme. There’s also word on the street that Jean-Claude Van Damme himself had snagged the property for around $6 million back in 2012.
Marina del Rey is a cozy beach community nestled in Los Angeles County, with just around 10,000 residents calling it home. This charming neighborhood is one of the many unincorporated beachfront areas in the county.
Built in 2011, this Marina del Rey property sits right by the Grand Canal. The rapper’s unique 7,575 square foot modern home is truly eye-catching. Despite being close to nearby homes, it fits right in with the luxurious celebrity residences found throughout Los Angeles.
Ice Cube made a smart investment in a spacious six-bedroom estate with stunning ocean views, located right on a canal. With excellent privacy and no significant downsides, this purchase stands out as a great deal in the Marina del Rey neighborhood.
Rumor has it that Ice Cube and his spouse decided to buy the estate as a retreat for their family. They usually reside with their children in their main residence, which is about 10 miles away. Whenever they need some alone time away from their kids and want to enjoy each other’s company without any distractions, they escape to this vacation home.
The three-level house offers stunning views of the surrounding canal. It looks especially enchanting at night, with the sparkling reflection of the canal adding to its beauty. Only top-quality materials, some imported, were used in the construction of this luxurious abode.
