311’s SA Martinez lists his house in Los Angeles’ Los Feliz area for $2.195M

Another member of the rock band 311 is trying to sell his Los Angeles-area home. SA Martinez, who sings and spins 311, has placed his house in Los Angeles’ Los Feliz area on the market for $2,195,000. As we exclusively reported back on June 11, 311 drummer Chad Sexton in April sold his house at 2125 Upper Kress Street in the Hollywood Hills for $1,700,000. We’re still catching up on a few long-overlooked items, including this one, which was first reported by the Los Angeles Times’ Ann Brenoff in her ‘Hot Property’ blog on July 8. Indeed, Martinez placed the 3,145-square-foot house, at 5054 Los Feliz Boulevard in Los Feliz, on the market on July 9, according to the MLS, which suggests that Brenoff was tipped off about this item (in which case, good for her). The other way that one can assume that Brenoff was tipped off? There are details about the property mentioned in Brenoff’s post (e.g., the house’s ‘Tennessee oak-covered patio’ and its ’300-gallon saltwater aquarium’) that appear in no other online listings for the house (i.e., they might appear in a hard brochure for the property, but not in any online information about the property).

In any case, records show that Martinez purchased the house, which sits on a 0.21-acre lot, back in 1997 for $650,000. Built in 1927, the Spanish Colonial-style house has four bedrooms and five baths, along with vaulted ceilings, an updated kitchen, and mahogany accents, according to public records. Outdoor features include a 496-square-foot pool/guest house with Nana wall systems and a circular drive, according to listing information. Deidre over at Luxist made the property her ‘estate of the day’ last Sunday. Check out an online listing sheet for Martinez’s house – complete with photos. It’s not clear yet where Martinez, an Omaha native, is off to. If we find out, we’ll of course share that information here.
