Don Cheadle Selling Totally Transformed Venice Home for $2.45M
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Actor Don Cheadle, now starring in a biopic of Miles Davis hitting high notes with a few critics, is also directing the flip of a totally transformed Venice, CA, contemporary for $2.45 million.
"Miles Ahead" is the actor's directorial debut, and it'll be interesting to see whether the freshly minted auteur gives birth to a cool sale.
The " emotional custom home," as the listing calls it, sits in the Oxford Triangle neighborhood and features 10-foot ceilings and a chef's kitchen with marble counters, La Cornue range, and open staircase.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The three-bedroom, three-bathroom home also boasts a rooftop deck, eco-friendly features such as zero-VOC paint, and radiant heating. Rhonda Payne of Rodeo Realty is the listing agent.
Cheadle bought the property in 2014 for $894,000 when it was a 1950s bungalow, Curbed says.
Cheadle, who won an Emmy for his skin-crawling portrayal of a sleazy management consultant in Showtime's "House of Lies," directed, co-wrote, and stars in "Miles Ahead," which looks at the life and music of, arguably, the greatest trumpet player of all time.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Cheadle is so passionate about the film that he volunteered to babysit for a Dublin, Ireland, mom who recently fretted on Twitter that she had no time to see the picture. "Send 'em over," Cheadle tweeted. "Me and mama will babysit. You deserve a break!"
