Admire the mιllιon-dollar mansion that Tyra Banks considers a piece of jewelry
The five-bedroom, six-bathroom white-stucco contemporary with city lights, ocean, and coastal views boasts a wall-to-wall carpeted main bedroom with bird’s-eye views and a spa-style bath that opens to a tiny private courtyard terrace. The lower floor has a staff or guest suite with full kitchen, a two-car garage, gym, home office, and entertainment lounge with 120-inch projection screen.
A two-sided fireplace encased in a wooden volume separates the sleek, ocean-view eat-in kitchen from a cozy family room with a floor-to-ceiling wall of glass that disappears into the walls for a seamless transition to the backyard.
Outdoor areas were meticulously created. The backyard has a small grassy area, a dining ramada, and a limestone-terracing-surrounded infinity-edge pool. The home’s crowning glory may be the large roof terrace, which has an outdoor kitchen, a linear fire pit with cushioned built-in bench seating, a party-sized spa, and stunning city views from sunrise in the east to sunset over the ocean.
Banks, who has a child with Norwegian photographer Erik Asla and is dating Canadian in-flight entertainment pioneer Louis Bélanger-Martin, will still have numerous residences after selling her Pacific Palisades property. In 2009, she purchased $10.1 mιllιon for a mansion-sized duplex flat in lower Manhattan, which she routinely lists for rent and sale. She bought an oceanfront Malibu home for over $4.7 mιllιon this year.
