Actor and martial artist Jean-Claude Van Damme previously listed his Marina del Rey home for $10 million, but it was purchased by rapper Ice Cube in April 2016 for $7.25 million. There are rumors that Jean-Claude Van Damme bought the property for around $6 million in 2012.
The modern estate, situated along the Grand Canal in Marina del Rey, was custom-built in 2011 and spans 7,575 square feet. The rapper’s home is impressive and located in close proximity to other celebrity residences in Los Angeles.
The six-bedroom property offers stunning views of the ocean, being right on the canal. The only drawback might be the privacy issue, but despite this, Ice Cube’s purchase is considered one of the best buys in the Marina del Rey region.
It is said that Ice Cube and his wife purchased the estate as a family getaway. They have their primary residence around ten miles away, where they live with their children. The Marina del Rey home allows them to spend uninterrupted time together away from their kids.
The three-story house provides picturesque views of the surrounding canal. At night, the reflection of the canal gives the house a beautiful glow. All materials used in the building are of the highest quality, with some being imported for added luxury.
