Bono Buys Sunset Boulevard Mansion

Bono is one of the lucky few investors behind a spec-built avant-garde mansion that sits at the end of a swooping drive on a high knoll in the foothills just above L.A.’s Sunset Boulevard.

The main part of the residence includes a distinctive triangular section that hovers over the lower floor and is visible as one drives north on Fairfax Avenue.

The legendary frontman and international activist has been a busy bee of late, having just closed a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas at the end of last year, and will no doubt be ready for some quality downtime in his new abode.

The snazzy pad was built almost 25 years ago and has since undergone a sleek, contemporary makeover. Interior spaces include a double-height entrance gallery, a three-story travertine-clad wall alongside a wood and glass staircase, and an open-plan chef’s kitchen with a Moroccan tile backsplash. In the light-filled combination living and dining room, an automated wall of glass slides open to a glass-railed balcony with knee-buckling views.
