Prince’s Bandmate Lists Her Longtime Hollywood Hills Home for $3 Million

Lisa Coleman acquired a French Normandy Revival residence in the Hollywood Hills 40 years ago and proceeded to create lots of memories. The Emmy-winning musician—best known for her time as a keyboardist and pianist with Prince’s backup band, The Revolution—spent much of her time there composing music as part of the Emmy-winning duo Wendy & Lisa. She also whipped up tunes in a detached studio alongside the likes of Seal, Grace Jones, Steve Perry, and even Prince himself.

Now, four decades later, Coleman is ready to part with her longtime home and is putting the property up for sale, asking a speck under $3 million, around $2.6 million more than the $37,000 she paid for the place back in the mid-1980s. Tina Marie Phan and Howard Stevens of Nourmand & Associates share the listing.

Originally designed and built in the late 1920s by noted architect Charles David Grolle, the multi-story turreted structure is tucked away on two parcels of gated and terraced land spanning almost half an acre in the historic Hollywoodland pocket of Beachwood Canyon. Inside, four en suite bedrooms and an equal number of baths are filtered across roughly 3,200 square feet of restored and renovated living space adorned with winding staircases, stained-glass windows, refinished hardwood floors, arched doorways, and soaring exposed-beam ceilings.

Standing out is a step-up great room boasting a fireplace integrated into a bookshelf-lined nook, a large steel-framed window overlooking the Hollywood sign, and green-trimmed French doors spilling out to a curving balcony. A wood-paneled dining room flows to the kitchen, which is outfitted with a black-and-white-checkered porcelain floor, stained birch cabinetry, CaesarStone countertops, a Viking range, a woven stainless-steel backsplash, and a breakfast banquette decorated with a pair of carved wood figures. Elsewhere is a one-bedroom, one-bath suite within the separate recording space.

Outdoors, the park-like grounds were redesigned by Coleman’s wife of 21 years, music producer and manager Renata Kanclerz, and host a three-tier vineyard with Merlot and Thompson Seedless grapes, as well as Fuji apple and avocado trees. The lower portion of the property has a two-car garage, but the couple usually parks on a flat pad behind the house that was once home to Coleman’s pink 1964 Mercury Montclair Marauder, the car rumored to have inspired Prince’s Little Red Corvette.

Per Mansion Global, she is selling because her and Kanclerz’s daughter has left for college on the East Coast, and they are relocating to be closer to her. “It was a hard decision to make because I really love this house,” Coleman said, “but I know someone will fall in love with it like I did.”
