Tyrese Gibson, an actor and singer based in Atlanta, is listing the Woodland Hills, California, compound for just under $2.9 million, which is more than twice the $1.385 million he paid for it shortly after it was built 11 years ago. The house is a tan-colored, Mediterranean-style home that is unremarkable and that almost no one would notice or look at twice.
Online estimates indicate that since the late 1990s, the singer of “Sweet Lady” and “How You Gonna Act Like That” has released six albums and sold 3.7 million copies. In five Fast & Furious and three Transformers movies, he was more successful. He will co-star with Jared Leto in the “Spider-Man” spinoff “Morbius” and two additional “Fast & Furious” movies. Actor is what he’s going from singing.
Gibson’s not-quite-half-acre parcel, first spotted on Zillow Gone Wild and available through “Selling Sunset” star Jason Oppenheim of The Oppenheim Group, has four structures, including the main house, which has five bedroom suites, including a primary suite with two walk-in closets and a terrace, and 5.5 bathrooms.
While the huge double-height combination entrance and living room with its even grander curved staircase and curlicued wrought-iron railings is lavish, much of the main home is a normal upmarket suburban affair that can comfortably house a large family.
The large living area contains a baby grand piano, white slipcovered furniture, and a black fireplace.
The home theater contains brown microsuede chairs and a huge, high-end kitchen that extends to a dining area and family room.
Most bathrooms, including the master, have medium-brown wood cabinetry and beige tiles. The house’s back is another carnival.
A large yellow Transformer governs a fire pit with a circular built-in bench and patriotic red, white, and blue cushions. (Gibson’s Atlanta mansion has a similar monument.)
An Asian-inspired poolside pavilion contains an outdoor kitchen, built-in grilling station and bar with cherry-red worktops, a half-bath, and a full Benihana-style Teppanyaki setup behind shoji screens.
