The Woodland Hills, Calif., estate, recently listed by Atlanta-based singer and actor Tyrese Gibson at just under $2.9 million, reflects a significant appreciation from the $1.385 million he paid for it 11 years ago.
The Mediterranean-style house, though unremarkable in its tan exterior, hides behind it a multitude of features and unique touches that set it apart.
Gibson, known for hits like “Sweet Lady” and “How You Gonna Act Like That,” has transitioned from his successful music career to starring in blockbuster films like “Fast & Furious” and “Transformers.”
The property, listed by “Selling Sunset” star Jason Oppenheim of The Oppenheim Group, spans not quite half an acre and comprises four structures, including the main house boasting five bedroom suites and 5.5 bathrooms.
The main house, while exuding a typical upscale suburban feel, has its moments of extravagance, including a grand double-height foyer and living room with an impressive curved staircase.
The living room features a sleek black fireplace, white slipcovered furniture, and a baby grand piano, creating a sophisticated atmosphere.
The home cinema, adorned with brown microsuede chairs, connects seamlessly to a high-end kitchen that opens to a dining area and family room.
Most bathrooms, including the primary suite, maintain a classic aesthetic with medium-brown wood cabinetry and beige tiles.
The backyard, however, transforms into a vibrant space. A big yellow Transformer sculpture commands attention around a fire pit with a circular built-in bench featuring patriotic red, white, and blue cushions.
Additionally, an Asian-inspired poolside pavilion boasts an outdoor kitchen, grilling station, and a full Benihana-style Teppanyaki setup behind shoji screens, creating a unique and entertaining outdoor retreat.
