-
1/15Photographs Courtesy of Pacific UnionThree-time Emmy nominee for Empire and Hidden Figures star, Taraji P. Henson is a hot name in Hollywood right now. She recently made headlines for her exciting engagement to an NFL player and now she's making headlines in real estate as well. Henson just unloaded her stunning home in the star-studded Hollywood Hills neighborhood. The property was first listed for $3.25 million and languished on the market for two and a half years before selling for $2.35 million.The structure itself is intricately designed with ornate Arabian doors that set the home apart. The main living area is on the second floor, which boasts an ample living room with a beautifully carved fireplace and walk-in wet bar and a luxurious kitchen with an architecturally rich center island and a 600-bottle wine cellar. There’s also a slender home theater that’s just right for some intimate movie-viewing.Perched on the top floor, the master suite is the crown jewel. French doors open up to a balcony where you can relish splendid views through more Arabian-style arches. Great for entertaining, the two tier yard has a circular fire pit and a cushioned banquette and hot tub.The only thing that could tear us away from this home would be having other retreats to trump this one, and Henson actually does have quite the “Empire” of properties to her name. In 2016 she picked up a residence in the Laurel Canyon area for $6.45 million in a hushed off-market deal, and she also has a villa in Glendale that’s thoroughly rent-able this year for $4,000 a month, not to mention, a 3 bedroom condo in a Chicago high-rise currently in Escrow, according to Variety.Photographs Courtesy of Pacific UnionThree-time Emmy nominee for Empire and Hidden Figures star, Taraji P.
