Legend and Teigen made some dramatic changes to the modern showplace during their stay, turning the exterior from white to gray and touching up the interiors with cerused oak floors, hot-rolled steel walls and bespoke patterned ceilings from Thailand.
With 8,500 square feet of living space on nearly an acre, the modern showplace holds seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms across two stories.
A grand parlor with a sculptural staircase under 33-foot ceilings kicks things off, leading into a step-down great room with a two-story wall of glass. Other highlights include a chef’s kitchen, formal dining room, movie theater and gym.
In the living room, a grand piano is surrounded by music awards (Legend is one of just 16 people to have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony — an achievement referred to as an EGOT).
The master suite expands to one of three balconies, all of which overlook a scenic backyard with a heated saltwater pool, a spa and a pergola wrapped in creeping vines. The hillside estate takes in sweeping city and canyon views.
Legend, 41, has won 11 Grammy Awards, including two for best R&B album — for “Wake Up!” and “Get Lifted.” He won an Oscar for the song “Glory,” for the 2014 film “Selma,” and recently released his seventh studio album, “Bigger Love.”
Teigen, 34, is a television personality, model and author. She hosted “Lip Sync Battle” from 2015 to 2019. She currently appears on “Chrissy’s Court,” a new court show on the short-form-video platform Quibi.

There’s a swimming pool, a tennis pavilion, a sports court, a carriage house, a spring house and a greenhouse. A rose garden sits among manicured lawns and lily ponds. The property also has a private well.
