Natasha Bedingfield sells Hollywood Hills home to actress Sydney Poitier
Things couldn’t have gone much better for singer-songwriter Natasha Bedingfield, who just sold her Spanish-style home in the Hollywood Hills for $2.538 million — or $289,000 over her asking price.
Records show she found a buyer in less than two weeks, and that buyer was actress Sydney Tamiia Poitier from the films “Death Proof,†“True Crime†and the TV show “Carter.â€
Bedingfield, who bought the place through a trust in 2015 for $1.65 million, put it up for rent multiple times during her stay. Built in 2000, the three-bedroom home enjoys city and ocean views from a balcony, patio and hillside backyard.
A two-story entry kicks things off, leading into tile-splashed living spaces with beamed ceilings and arched doorways. Highlights across 3,386 square feet include a white living room, a black dining room and a sunny, spacious kitchen.
Upstairs, the master suite expands to a balcony overlooking Griffith Park and the Hollywood sign. Elsewhere outside, there’s a romantic patio under string lights and a landscaped courtyard with a swinging bench.
A native of England, Bedingfield released her debut album, “Unwritten,†in 2004 and received a Grammy nomination for the record’s titular track. Other hits by the artist, 38, include “Pocketful of Sunshine†and “Love Like This.â€
The 46-year-old Poitier — daughter of Oscar-winner Sidney Poitier and actress Joanna Shimkus — has appeared in the shows “Veronica Mars,†“Chicago P.D.†and “Knight Rider.â€
Andrew Mortaza and Bryan Castaneda of the Agency held the listing. Ricky Mitchell of the Passman Group represented the buyer.
