Though he bought it barely two years ago, Grammy-winning songwriter/record producer Finneas O’Connell — who’s probably best known as the older brother of music superstar Billie Eilish — has decided to part ways with his pricey Malibu getaway on a sought-after stretch of Las Flores Beach, asking $5.5 million.
Professionally known simply as Finneas, the 24-year-old Los Angeles native originally paid actor Rick Schroder nearly $5.2 million in summer 2020 for the place, which he’s been sharing with his longtime girlfriend, YouTuber Claudia Sulewski. Schroder bought the home for $5.1 million in early 2007.
Built in 2005, the walled and gated structure rests on a compact oceanside parcel just south of the Malibu Pier and near a prime surf break, and offers sweeping coastline views paired with more than 40 feet of beach frontage; and the “enchanting turnkey cottage” comes fully furnished, per the listing, which is held by Tori Horowitz of Compass.
Three bedrooms and two baths are packed into just over 1,200 square feet of two-story living space boasting hardwood floors, wood-beam ceilings and abundant natural light throughout. Highlights include a spacious living room displaying a fireplace, built-in seating and French doors spilling out to a deck adorned with a couple of rattan swing chairs overlooking the Pacific.
Also standing out on the main level is a small yet sleekly designed kitchen, which comes complete with high-end Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, granite countertops and an eat-in breakfast bar. An adjacent dining area is topped by a fun nautical-inspired chandelier.
All of the bedrooms are sequestered on the lower level, including a master retreat holding a fireplace, walk-in closet and another ocean-view deck sporting a hot tub. A luxe bath is equipped with dual vanities and a large glass-encased steam shower; and rounding it all out is a two-car garage and security system armed with cameras.
Finneas mostly writes and produces songs for his sister, with the duo having recently nabbed a “Best Original Song” Oscar for the James Bond theme “No Time to Die,” from the film of the same name. But he’s also penned tunes for artists like Demi Lovato, Kid Cudi, Halsey and Justin Bieber, and he’s released several albums and singles himself as well.
In addition to the for-sale beach house, Finneas also owns a petite Highland Park bungalow and $2.7 million home in Los Feliz. As for Eilish, she keeps a luxe horse ranch in Glendale, Calif.
