CELEBRITY HOMES
Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Nile Rodgers is ready to part ways with his longtime home in Westport, Connecticut.
The legendary musician has long been living in the waterfront home — which includes a recording studio where music history has been written.
Throughout the years, some of the biggest names in music have recorded their timeless hits here.
Artists like Blondie, Diana Ross, Slash, and Mick Jagger have all stepped foot in Rodgers’ 5-bedroom home.
In fact, legendary albums like Madonna’s Like A Virgin or David Bowie’s Let’s Dance have been recorded within the house's walls.
But its ties to music royalty are by no means the property’s only merits. So let's take a look at the home's most unique features.
Located in the coastal town of Westport, the 4,109-square foot home comes with a deep water dock and beautiful water views from nearly all of its rooms.
The celebrity home has 5 bedrooms, bright and airy interiors, and quite a few amenities — including an indoor dipping/exercise pool, gym, and family room loft.
Beyond the easily quantifiable attributes, the Grammy Award winner’s home boasts a certain charm and comfort unique to a house that’s been lived in (and loved) for years.
This paired with the enviable waterfront location makes it easy to see how Nile Rodgers was inspired to create hit after hit.

Nile Rodgers’ contribution to music history cannot be overstated. In 1972, he co-founded the band Chic which gave us some of the biggest hits of the disco era.
Rodgers later went on to write and produce music for other artists, to great acclaim. Some of his most notable credits include:
We Are Family for Sister Sledge
Upside Down for Diana Ross
David Bowie’s Let’s Dance album
Duran Duran’s The Reflex and Notorious
In more recent years, he collaborated with popular artists like Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, and Daft Punk — winning three Grammy Awards in 2014 for his work on Daft Punk’s album Random Access Memories.
