In a noteworthy real estate transaction, comedian and talk show host Steve Harvey and his wife, Marjorie, purchased Tyler Perry’s Buckhead property in Atlanta, Georgia, for $15 million. Tyler Perry, a multi-talented entertainer, had previously sold the 35,000-square-foot mansion for $17.5 million in 2016 after it spent nearly two years on the market with an initial asking price of $25 million, making it Atlanta’s most expensive housing transaction at the time.
The luxurious property boasts an impressive list of features, including 17 acres of meticulously maintained grounds, trimmed gardens, a 70,000-gallon infinity pool, a lit tennis court, a fully stocked gym, and a separate spa. Additionally, the home is equipped with a backup generator that can power the entire property, a guesthouse, a guardhouse, a detached caretaker’s suite, and a sophisticated security system.
Inside the main mansion’s French Provincial design, residents can enjoy a theater, indoor pool, wine cellar, and an underground ballroom with a catering kitchen. The lavish estate offers a life of luxury and opulence for the Harveys, representing a significant investment in their real estate portfolio.
Notably, Steve Harvey is also selling his 6,500-square-foot, five-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom estate in Little Elm, Texas, and another property in Atlanta, both listed for $1.1 million each. Prior to acquiring the Tyler Perry property, the Harvey family resided in a mansion in the Beverly Park guard-gated neighborhood in the Californian highlands above Beverly Hills, which they rented for $100,000 per month. With his various ventures and successful career, Steve Harvey continues to be a prominent figure in the entertainment industry and a savvy real estate investor.
