<\/p>\nYou could be forgiven for thinking that you\u2019ve arrived at a high-end car dealership or an exhibition center. But no, the imposing steel glass fronted property in question is singer\/songwriter\/producer Pharrell Williams\u2019 new L.A. mansion, purchased from filmmaker Tyler Perry.<\/p>\n
Records show that Tyler only purchased the investment property earlier this year for $15 million before deciding to flip it for $17 million. However, the potential profit was eaten away when he sold it to Williams for $15.6 million, bearing in mind legal fees and transfer taxes associated with the deal. Williams, whose hits include \u201cHappy\u201d (from the movie Despicable Me 2) and \u201cBlurred Lines\u201d which he wrote for Robin Thicke, amongst many others, paid $7.14 million in 2015 for a six-bedroom, five-full-bathroom LA home above Laurel Canyon. Like his new investment, it also features a wall of windows.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The house contains 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms over two floors. In total, the interior of the property is an echo inducing 17,245 square feet with a total lot size of 4.25 acres. Clearly it\u2019s not the kind of place to hide and be incognito. The amount of glass, steel, stone, concrete and hard angles give his newer purchase a rather cold aesthetic and it\u2019s hard to imagine someone calling the place home on an ongoing basis, let alone raising a family there (Williams and his wife, Helen Lasichanh have four children, including triplets). Even the five fireplaces won\u2019t warm it up. Adding to the frosty feeling are the sets of striking marble stairs connecting the three floors and the oversized crystal light hanging over the dining table.<\/p>\n

Like Perry before him, chances are Williams will use the property as an investment, a place to park his money. It\u2019s the ultimate party pad and don\u2019t be surprised if it shows up in a future video or two from Pharrell or his pals. Other amenities include a stone-lined pool a grotto, a la Playboy mansion, slide, a below-grade tennis court with night lights and a carport that can hold no less than 30 vehicles (woot! woot!).<\/p>\n
