LOS ANGELES _ It's not unusual, really, but Tom Jones' contemporary Mediterranean-style villa is grand and takes in awe-inspiring views of Mount Baldy and the cityscape. The singer's home is on the market in Sherman Oaks for $8 million.
First shopped off-market, the towering gated and walled house features a two-story entry with a skylight and curving staircase. French doors open to a loggia for alfresco dining. The media room has a drop-down screen. There are also five bedrooms, a wood-paneled library and five bathrooms in the 8,146 square feet of living space.
A swimming pool, where he no doubt kept up his perpetual tan, and lawn complete the more than half-acre of grounds.
Jones, 76, has been a force in the music scene for six decades. Among the sexy baritone's hits are "It's Not Unusual," "What's New Pussycat" and "She's a Lady." He is a coach on "The Voice UK."
The Grammy winner bought the property in 1998 for $2.65 million, public records show.
