From The Fast & the Furious to The Transporter, Jason Statham has made a career of playing charismatic criminals and tough-guy antiheros, but his true-life role of real-estate impresario tops them all. The British actor has surprisingly good taste: He owns fashion designer Jenni Kayne’s former home in Beverly Hills and a midcentury stunner above the Sunset Strip, and bought a Roman & Williams–designed Hollywood Hills home from Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor before selling it in 2015 to actor Johnny Galecki. So it’s no surprise that the four-bedroom Malibu house he and fiancée Rosie Huntington-Whiteley just listed for sale for a cool $19.95 million is a visual feast any prospective buyer would be lucky to close on.
Known as “The Black House” thanks to its dramatic cedar exterior and located within an exclusive gated community called the Colony, the three-bedroom home and plush adjoining guest house are 3,900 square feet of minimalist chic, with incredible ocean views and the kind of details that make you feel like you’ve managed to squeeze your way into the lap of luxury—think custom lighting, radiant-heated Belgian oak floors, and sleek built-in storage that seems to blend into the walls of the house. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the space ensure the ocean always stays in sight, but a private entrance to the beach and a sun-drenched, wind-shielded courtyard between the main house and guest apartment promise plenty of access to that famous indoor-outdoor California lifestyle.
Add an airy open-concept layout, and you’ve got a home that’s perfect for entertaining a crowd or hiding away from it all. Now all you need is a Kickstarter fund to make it yours.
