Dave Navarro lists his rock-star loft in Hollywood for sale
Guitarist Dave Navarro of Jane’s Addiction and “Ink Master” fame has put his Hollywood loft up for sale at $899,000.
The 1,570-square-foot unit features black glass-beaded wallpaper in the entry, 15-foot ceilings, blackout curtains and views of the Capitol Records building and the Hollywood sign.
“It was one big space,” said decorator Heidi Toll, who worked with Navarro to design the loft. So they carved out rooms within the open-plan space by using different finishes and features.
“He was very artistic and into the process,” Toll said. “He travels so much he likes simple hotel-like rooms. But obviously we had to fit it to his personality, which is very much a rock star.”
A broken-mirror backsplash sets off the sleek kitchen, which has stainless-steel appliances and black-quartz counters. A light fixture in the dining area is made of orbs hung from the ceiling to evoke stars.
Offered in the sale is Navarro’s white patent-leather upholstered platform bed, which was custom designed for the room.
The black-walled bathroom has a red ceiling. A large makeup mirror spans the space above the double sinks.
The loft is in the Broadway Hollywood, a former department store built in the late 1920s. The building has a doorman, a 24-hour valet, a fitness center, and a swimming pool with cabanas and a fireplace.
The tattooed rocker, 46, is the host of Spike TV’s “Ink Master” competition show and has been part of such musical groups as the on-again/off-again Jane’s Addiction, Deconstruction and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
He bought the property in 2007 for $1.04 million, public records show.
Skyler Hynes of Coldwell Banker is the listing agent.

Palos Verdes resale is a slam dunk
Sasha Vujacic, the former Lakers guard, has sold an ocean-view house in Palos Verdes Estates for $2.6 million.
Called La Casa Moderna, the Midcentury Modern-style, glass-and-wood house was built in 1966. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in views of the coastline, the ocean and Santa Catalina Island.
The open-plan main floor of the 3,455-square-foot house combines the living room, den, dining room and kitchen and opens to a balcony. Appointments include crystal light fixtures, remote-controlled window coverings and Venetian-style plaster. There are three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and a fourth bathroom.
A waterfall fountain cascades toward the swimming pool on the quarter-acre-plus site.
The two-time NBA champion, 30, played with the Lakers from 2004 to 2010, moved to the New Jersey Nets and then to Anadolu Efes in Turkey. After signing a 10-day contract this year with the Clippers, he joined Reyer Venezia Mestre in Italy. His family operates S&G Estate, a winery and olive oil operation, in Paso Robles, Calif.
