The five-bedroom, five-bathroom is located in La Crescenta, about 15 miles north of Downtown Los Angeles.

The oldest part of the home overlooking the San Fernando Valley was designed by Austrian-American architect Richard Neustra and built in 1954, California Home Design reported. It was initially occupied by his secretary Dorothy Serulnic.

The "iconic architectural compound" also includes a seven-sided "minimalist vortex of raw concrete" that was added by designer Michael Maltzan about 50 years later.

The 5.7-acre property also includes a swimming pool and a rustic cabin which was commissioned by artist Peter Staley.

Flea bought the property for $4.25 million in 2018, Realtor.com reported. The bassist first listed the property for $9.7 million in February 2022. The asking price has been decreased twice since then. The property is about a 30 minute drive from Fairfax High School, where Flea helped form the original RHCP lineup in 1982.

The Unlimited Love single "Black Summer" received a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song and won the Best Rock Video title at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards. The track was the first in 16 years to feature longtime guitarist John Frusciante.
