Matt Bellamy of the alt-rock group Muse fame has doubled down in Malibu’s Point Dume, buying a second home in the area for $2.6 million.

The purchase comes about a year and a half after the English musician bought a nearby home from comic and radio personality Adam Carolla for $3.6 million.

Set behind gates and privacy hedges, the three-story contemporary was remodeled three years ago and features vaulted and beamed ceilings, rich hardwood floors and updated bathrooms. Glass sliding doors open to the grounds for indoor-outdoor living.
