ven in real estate, Pharrell Williams’ style stands out. The Grammy-winning artist’s Hollywood Hills home — a dazzling glass-covered compound known as the Skyline Residence — has become available for sale at $11.95 million. Williams has a penchant for buying architecturally interesting estates. Earlier this year, he put his 17,000square-foot mansion that looks like a supervillain’s lair on the market for $16.95 million in Beverly Hills. The Skyline Residence boasts a similar dramatic look, stretching across 1.5 acres on a ridgetop setting with sweeping views of the city and valley below. The home was designed and built in 2007 by Hagy Belzberg, the architect responsible for the striking subterranean Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust in Pan Pacific Park. Covered in concrete and glass, the low-slung abode boasts vast open living spaces with clean lines, hardwood floors and white gallery walls. Highlights include a spacious foyer, minimalist kitchen and dining area anchored by a garden wall. The master suite, one of five bedrooms, tacks on a built-in fireplace and green marble bathroom. Walls of glass open out back, where a thin stretch of lawn adjoins an infinity pool. The scenic estate also includes a two-story guesthouse with a bedroom and kitchen and a front garden with a movie projector. Williams, a singer, rapper, producer and fashion designer, formed the hiphop production duo the Neptunes in the mid-’90s and started the band

N.E.R.D. later that decade. The 47year-old Williams — known simply as Pharrell — has won 13 Grammys and received two Oscar nominations, including one for his hit song “Happy.” END OF A RUN IN BEVERLY HILLS Married actors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are looking to shed their Beverly Hills home of six years, listing the property for sale at $13.995 million. That’s $3.78 million more than the power couple paid for the estate a few months after getting engaged in 2014. Built about two decades ago and since updated, the estate spans half an acre in the gated community of Hidden Valley near Franklin Canyon Park. A three-story traditional-style house is at the heart of the estate and has five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms in 7,351 square feet. A landscaped yard and flagstone walkway approach the house, which draws the eye with stone accents and black plantation shutters. French doors, oak floors and crown molding touch up the common spaces. The formal living room expands to a mahogany office, and the chef’s kitchen leads to a breakfast nook and family room with a fireplace. Other highlights include a gym, sauna and wine cellar. A covered patio extends off the back of the home, descending to a grassy yard with a swimming pool. Kutcher and Kunis both gained fame in the late 1990s as part of the cast of “That ’70s Show.” Kutcher has since appeared in the films “My Boss’s Daughter,” “The Butterfly Effect” and “Jobs.” Kunis has film credits, including “Black Swan” and “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” the latter of which earned her a Golden Globe nomination.
