It’s not complicated to understand why Avril Lavigne once resided at this Los Angeles property.
The six-bedroom, nine-bath abode in the San Fernando Valley’s Sherman Oaks neighborhood was formerly owned by the Canadian singer-songwriter and her ex-husband Chad Kroeger, the lead singer of Nickelback. Fully renovated since the couple lived here, the $15 million manse now offers more than 10,000 square feet of living space. James Harris, David Parnes, and Kris Everett at Bond Street Partners hold the listing.

After you enter through the property’s gates and up the circular drive, the front door leads you into a grand foyer anchored by a curving double staircase. The double-height living room is framed by windows that allow light to flood the space, while the nearby family room is centered around a limestone fireplace. The white-washed chef’s kitchen sports modern appliances and opens to the formal dining room, lined with wooden French doors.
Elsewhere, you’ll find an ocean-blue office with coffered ceilings and a fully equipped gym. The primary suite comes with its own fireplace and sitting lounge, while the ensuite bathroom’s soaking tub is situated within a large marble shower. All the other bedrooms have their own bathroom and walk-in closet, too. The cherry on top, quite literally, is the finished attic: Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and skylights cover the upper level’s fireplace-centered living room and funky tiled bar. There’s even enough room for a billiards setup, if you consider yourself a pool shark.

On the grounds, you can take a dip in the saltwater pool and spa. A full bar with a built-in grill sits just outside the shaded patio, where a gas fireplace will keep you warm on chilly nights. Sports enthusiasts can take advantage of the pickleball court, the basketball hoop, and the bocce area. Even the detached three-car garage has something to offer beyond storage: Sitting atop the structure is a home theater with a lounge, library nook, and snack station—no need to transport your popcorn and candy from the main residence.
In recent years, Sherman Oaks has become a hotbed for celebs looking to lie low. Just last month, the actors Neve Campbell and JJ Feild listed their Colonial-style home in the neighborhood for $4.3 million. Also in April, the YouTube star Alpharad spun his modern Sherman Oaks abode on the market for $5 million.
