In the aftermath of the Oscars SLP scandal, acclaimed filmmaker Antoine Fuqua has made a new addition to his portfolio—a contemporary property in the serene locale of Hidden Hills.
Fuqua, along with his wife, Lela Rochon, the notable actress from “Waiting to Exhale,” reportedly invested $10.8 million in their newly acquired home in 2017, as per public records.
The accomplished director, hailing from Pittsburgh and celebrated for directing the 1995 music video “Gangsta’s Paradise” for rapper Coolio, has firmly established himself as a prolific figure in Hollywood. His latest venture, “Legacy: The True Story of the LA Lakers,” is set to debut on Hulu on August 15
.
Adding to his accolades, Fuqua has also secured substantial TV and movie development agreements with both Paramount and Netflix in the past year.
The Fuqua estate, freshly procured, boasts a sprawling 9,000 square feet of open-concept living space characterized by high ceilings and white oak flooring. The residence comprises six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, with sliding glass doors and expansive picture windows adorned with iron frames, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces.
Sitting on a 1.2-acre property, the two-story abode crafted from wood and stone offers a concealed four-car garage, a charming white picket fence, a circular driveway, and scenic vistas of state-owned parks. The entrance foyer showcases an elegant staircase with gracefully curved iron railings, a glittering chandelier, and a double-height ceiling.
The main floor accommodates the family room, informal dining area, and a gourmet kitchen featuring a generously sized eat-in island, a grand refrigerator, and a luxurious La Cornue stove. Additionally, there’s an office, a formal living and dining space, as well as a stylish screening room equipped with a wet bar and an imposing linear fireplace.
Ascending to the second level reveals four ensuite bedrooms, among which the master suite stands out with its own fireplace, mini-bar, private balcony, and dual walk-in closets. The master bathroom boasts a steam shower, an expansive oval soaking tub, and dual vanities.
The rear of the property is adorned with a refreshing pool, a relaxing jacuzzi, and a covered outdoor living area featuring a fireplace, barbecue facilities, and a fire pit.
The estate further offers a verdant play area, a two-stall barn, and winding equestrian paths. A detached poolhouse, complete with a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom, adds to the allure of this remarkable property.
