“That’s right … with Reza’s help, the reggae singer scored a brand new crib for $1.1 million!” the website was quoted as saying.

It added that Marley bought the 2,613-square-foot house as an investment. It comprises two attached pads — each with two bedrooms and one bath.

The site described the house as a “a pretty rare find  … the place dates back to the 1920s and hasn’t been on the market in over four decades. Plus, its rocking hardwood floors, granite counters, updated cabinetry and a giant backyard”.
