An exquisite architectural mansion more than befitting the magnetism of its former owner, singer/songwriter Rihanna, is now available in Pacific Palisades for a cool $14.59 million— complete with interiors showcasing the finest in materials and craftsmanship paired with elaborate outdoor environs fit for a king… or pop queen, in this case.

Situated on almost an acre of land atop a private, gated knoll—near the exclusive Riviera Country Club, and just minutes from Santa Monica and Malibu—the two-story residence built in 2009 is highlighted by special touches throughout, including travertine flooring; custom doors, millwork and built-ins; 14-foot ceilings; designer lighting; and floor-to-ceiling glass walls.

At almost 11,000 square feet, the home’s warm color palette, personalized rooms and layout render it ideal for relaxing and entertaining alike. Featured are seven bedrooms, including a sumptuous master suite with a two-way fireplace, sitting area, large walk-in closet with makeup area, patio and luxurious spa-like bath overlooking the pool. Two additional bedrooms double as a game room and home theater, respectively. Yet other show-stopping features include a family room with walk-in bar and a chef’s kitchen sporting a large center island and professional-grade appliances that flows into a dining room with seating for 16 and an adjacent wine refrigerator.

The outdoor environs definitely steal the show here, however. Think a spacious rooftop deck boasting an amazing putting green, lounge and grill area; along with a level back yard with a massive patio space for entertaining, a resort style pool with cascading fountains and covered waterfall spa, a grill and bar, and 6,000-square-foot garden. From the inside out, this home indeed shines bright like a diamond.
