The Oscar winner’s compound hit the market earlier this month, TMZ reports. Per its listing history, the Crime 101 star paid just under $6 million for the 1926-built home in 2005. The 5,900-square-foot estate hosts five bedrooms and six bathrooms spread across the three-bedroom main house and a guesthouse.The front entrance opens to a sunken living room with stone-tiled floors, exposed beams, and tall panes of glass looking out at the lush greenery that lines the grounds. On the other side of the entrance, a formal dining room features a picture window and access to the chef’s kitchen, which is complete with a double island. The space is outfitted with a slide-away wall of glass that fully opens the home to the outdoors. Elsewhere, a more casual, fireplace-warmed living room is situated beneath an airy vaulted ceiling. The space provides direct access to a wet bar and the backyard swimming pool. Among the other outdoor amenities are a meditation garden, a large pool deck, a fire pit, a pizza oven, and a pergola-topped seating area with a fireplace. The property’s outdoor areas are tucked amongst dense foliage, providing serene pockets of resort-style living.A separate glam room with a dressing area boasts a private entrance for stylists and trainers to come and go without entering the rest of the home—a telltale sign that this is the home of a prominent actor.Join NowAD PRO members enjoy exclusive benefits.
