Styles doubled down on his Hampstead Heath holdings by buying a neighboring home for $10.9 million. And the following year he put down $5.5 million for the house next door to the second one. Very little is known about these two properties, and the famously private star has yet to confirm whether or not he’s hoping to construct a massive multibuilding mega-compound from the three structures, though reports have speculated that this might be the case. Other A-list stars who call Hampstead Heath home include Benedict Cumberbatch, Helena Bonham Carter, and Ricky Gervais.

He paid $6.9 million for the ultramodern pad, which boasted glass walls that opened completely onto terraces with views of both the Sunset Strip and the Pacific Ocean. The four-bedroom, five-bathroom mansion had a home movie theater, a chef’s kitchen, a penthouse primary suite, and a kidney-shaped pool and spa. During his tenure there, Styles made some upgrades to the house, adding in a high-end audio system (the better to play his music with) and giving the living- and dining-area floors an alabaster finish.

Styles gave his two main Harry's House collaborators, co-writers/producers Tyler Johnson and Kid Harpoon, a chance to say their own thank yous, which were just as sentimental. "It’s so hard to do anything in life without a good family," Johnson said before shouting out his parents and brother who were in attendance. Along with touring, Styles has co-starred in the psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling and romantic drama My Policeman since the release of Harry's House. He also expanded on his fashion ventures, co-releasing a Gucci collection with fashion designer Alessandro Michele in Nov. 2022.

The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time

As the BH&G writer alluded, though, there are images of Harry's house sprinkled across the album, from references to the kitchen, "sitting in the garden" and "maple syrup, coffee, pancakes for two." Harry’s House peaked at #1 in every single country in charted in, except for Japan, where it peaked at the 82nd spot. The idea of calling it Harry’s House was something that I think I’ve had for a while.

Just over five years ago, Harry Styles dropped a solo debut that absolutely no one saw coming, especially from a guy who had closed the door on his role as lead heartthrob in pop juggernaut One Direction only 18 months earlier. “Harry Styles” was a timeless, oddly genre-less album that sounded vaguely like a pop collection from the early 1970s, and like nothing else released that year. Regardless, it was a hit and gave the young singer the runway to find his sea legs as a solo artist — and more importantly, a clean slate he could follow with anything he wanted.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom midcentury-modern residence is low-key compared to some of Styles’s previous digs, measuring 1,378 square feet, with a pool and spa. The couple also reportedly rented a chic five-bedroom house in Los Feliz for $10,000 a month. Styles’s first real estate purchase was a $4.8 million white stucco house in the pastoral, suburban North London area of Hampstead Heath. The 2,300-square-foot residence sits behind high walls and gates for maximum privacy and boasts four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. French doors, hardwood floors, and skylights give the space a touch of both countryside charm and contemporary airiness. A home gym with a skylight and a primary suite with its own dressing room round out the home’s modest yet modern offerings.

Release history

I Feel Like a Woman” and “You’re Still the One.” Meanwhile, Lizzo joined Styles for a cover of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” and One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful” during weekend two. The residency tour will wrap in Los Angeles’ Kia Forum for 10 dates starting on Halloween, where Ben Harper will open for Styles through mid-November. The trek will start in Toronto on Aug. 15 and 16, where he’ll welcome Madi Diaz as his opener. Through being stuck at home, he eventually became closer to his true self, and the music he wanted to be making. "I realised that that home feeling isn't something that you get from a house,” he said. “It's more of an internal thing. You realise that when you stop for a minute."

He put the 4,400-square-foot residence on the market for $8.5 million in 2017 but had to slash the price a few times before finally off-loading it at a slight loss (he sold it at $6 million) two years later. The third album from Styles hits triple-digit frames on the ranking of the most-consumed full-lengths in America this time around, giving the superstar his latest title to make it to that number. Harry Styles first found commercial success more than a decade ago as a member of One Direction, but since the group split, he’s more than proved himself as a solo superstar.

The Grammy winner’s debut full-length, a self-titled affair, also hit the 100-week milestone. Styles’ longest-charting album on the Billboard 200 remains his second solo offering, Fine Line. That set has thus far spent 221 weeks on the tally—more than double that of Harry’s House. All three of Styles’ albums have now racked up at least 100 stays on the Billboard 200. Making it to that figure isn’t easy, and there are many well-known acts who have yet to manage the feat. Doing so more than once is uncommon, and three times in a row—without breaking the winning streak—is the kind of showing reserved for only the biggest names in the business.

In these moments it’s almost like he’s the kind of lover and friend that the Joni of Blue deserved but couldn’t quite get because it was the Seventies and people hadn’t figured out how not to be assholes yet. Harry’s House is bright with synths and horns, often steeped in slick, sticky synth-pop and R&B. You almost expect to check the credits and find Greg Phillinganes and Rod Temperton in there with Styles’ longtime songwriting collaborators Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson. That's just one way the Fine Line single marked a pivotal moment in Styles' career.

The former Los Angeles home of the British pop star and budding actor (My Policeman, Don’t Worry Darling) has just hit the market in Los Angeles for $7.995 million. Styles owned the four-bedroom, 4,400-square-foot residence from 2016 to 2019. It’s located just above the Sunset Strip in the Hollywood Hills West area.
