Dude is selling his house
mainYou’ll never buy a nicer hacienda.
Gustav Dudamel has put his Los Angeles house on the market, only 18 months after he moved in. Since then, however, he got divorced.
The asking price is $3.3 million.

Hideous. In Australia we call them McMansions.
In these U.S. of A., we also use that term.
McMansions are recently built homes. This was built in 1923 and if one looks through the pics it doesn’t at all fit the McM bill.
It’s only 3600 square feet. Hardly a “McMansion”. It’s only that expensive because of where it is. In my area of the US, a house that size would only cost about $500,000 max.
Right. Like the US is the only place in the world with large expensive homes.
If that decor is their taste…grisly. The house has potential. A lot less pretentious than what you see film people and golfers having.
The house looks very “staged” to me. Professionals come in, pick out furniture & carpets, make sure all the walls are painted beige or ecru or something, and try to make the place look like something out of a “gracious living” magazine. My guess is that market research must have shown that people are less likely to buy a house that looks like someone lives in it.
Amazing that decorators can have so little taste. Some of those chairs were hideous.
Definitely modest digs by LA standards. Nice looking place.
This just isn’t any body else’s business!! I find this breach of privacy offensive.
The house, its pictures, and its sale and asking prices are all either in the public record or actively made available to the public. That it has a “famous” owner– and news of that being spread– should only help the seller get a better price. Besides, as a poster suggested above, the photos show nothing but generic furnishings; there’s not a personal item (except perhaps the piano) to be seen.
Agree with Dave T above. This is standard practice in the US: address, asking price, pictures of the house (inside & out), are all always displayed on real-estate websites. You can take a “virtual tour” of almost any house for sale in the US. If the owner is famous, that is usually made public too, in the interest of getting a higher price. It’s not a breach of privacy when the information is revealed voluntarily (and legally).
No wonder he is selling this house – it is not nearly good enough for such an outstanding interpreter of Gustavo Mahler.
Just kidding.
Only a little.
Maybe.
