Known as “The Smokey Robinson Estate,” this place was home to the legendary recording artist from 1988 to 2002. According to the publication, Robinson sold it to entertainment entrepreneur Mike Greenfield in 2012 for $2,300,000. Greenfield renovated the home and sold it last year for $3,250,000.
So how did the recent sale price increased to $8 million? Well, the seller was prominent developer Gidi Cohen, who went over every square inch of the 1.54-acre property. Cohen added a white and gray color scheme, a balcony off the master suite, a new pool and spa, plus a 1,600-square-foot guesthouse, reports Variety.
