KINGSTON, Jamaica — Ziggy Marley has purchased a duplex in Los Angeles for US$1.1 million, celebrity tracker tmz.com reports.
According to the website, the transaction was made through real estate guru Reza Farahan who also stars in the reality series Shahs of Sunset.
“That's right ... with Reza's help, the reggae singer scored a brand new crib for $1.1 million!” the website was quoted as saying.
It added that Marley bought the 2,613-square-foot house as an investment. It comprises two attached pads — each with two bedrooms and one bath.
The site described the house as a “a pretty rare find ... the place dates back to the 1920s and hasn't been on the market in over four decades. Plus, its rocking hardwood floors, granite counters, updated cabinetry and a giant backyard".
