Rocker Encino, California, enclave known as Amestoy Estates.
Wentz has lived in the home since 2015, when he purchased it for $1,965,000. Now on the market for $2,395,000, the home was built in 1958 and was thoroughly renovated and expanded in 2009.
“The property is gated/walled and has an extremely private backyard, perfect for an entertainer or athlete,” says Thomas Atamian of Compass, who is listing the property with Deedee Howard of The Agency. “A former Los Angeles Dodger lives across the street,” he adds.
The home has five bedrooms and 4.5 baths spread over a single level. The layout means the place “lives bigger than its 4,100 square feet,” says Atamian.
The huge backyard, with a zip line, sport court, saltwater pool, fruit trees and grassy lawn, add to the spacious feeling.
“It’s hard to find all of that under $2.5 million,” Atamian notes.
The home’s updated design and decor choices hew to the hacienda theme of the home. There are wood floors underfoot, beamed ceilings overhead, as well as arched windows and doorways.
The layout includes a wide-open floor plan, which creates an effortless flow between the living room, dining room, media alcove and kitchen.
The kitchen has been remodeled and now features custom cabinetry, granite countertops and high-end stainless-steel appliances.
The living space is open to the backyard, through floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows.
The master bedroom opens up to the backyard as well, with French doors. The master retreat features soaring ceilings, dual walk-in closets, a private patio and a spalike bath with a soaking tub and sauna.
Amestoy Estates is a choice part of Encino, and Atamian notes that this particular street is especially desirable. “It’s actually a loop, so you don’t get a lot of traffic through that area,” he says. “Plus, the home is halfway up the street, so it is away from any freeway traffic.”
The home’s proximity to the 101 and 405 freeways does make it (relatively!) easy to get to the beach, the airport, the West Side or Hollywood.
According to Variety, the Fall Out Boy has already made an extremely cushy landing in a bigger, fancier pad in Beverly Hills. Wentz and his partner, Meagan Camper, paid $5.5 million for the place.
When Wentz isn’t performing with Fall Out Boy, he’s busy appearing on shows like Nickelodeon’s teen musical “School of Rock” series and the reality competition series “Best Ink.”
