Given that he recently spent $5.2 million on a modern farmhouse-style property in Los Angeles’ Calabasas district, Arsenio Hall has opted to market his amenity-rich estate in the San Fernando Valley’s Tarzana neighborhood for sale.
The 66-year-old actor, comedian, and former talk show host is reportedly seeking just under $5.3 million for the contemporary mansion, which is much less than the $1 million he reportedly paid “NCIS” actor Sean Murray for it not long after it was built.
He rose to prominence through his work on “The Arsenio Hall Show,” a television show that aired from 1989 to 1994, as well as his roles in the films “Coming to America” and “Harlem Nights.”
A white stucco and dark brown-trimmed building with a spacious motorcourt and three-car garage is hidden behind fences and gates on a level plot of land extending more than a third of an acre.
The 6,500 square feet of two-story living area is divided into six bedrooms and seven bathrooms and features hardwood floors, high ceilings, designer lighting, and floor-to-ceiling Fleetwood glass sliding doors. It is accessible via the 12-foot-tall double entrance doors.
A formal dining room with doors leading to a covered terrace perfect for outdoor entertainment connects to a living room with a linear fireplace hidden behind a wood accent wall.
The grand entrance features a floating staircase that conceals a wine closet. Custom cabinets, two massive quartz islands with cascading edges, top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, and a walk-in pantry grace the adjoining gourmet kitchen.
There is also a theater room and a multipurpose room that may be used as an office or a lounge. The enormous master bedroom upstairs has a marble fireplace, a private balcony, two walk-in closets, and a large bathroom with a separate wet area with a soaking tub and shower.
The primary feature is the turf-covered backyard, which contains a zero-edge pool, a Jacuzzi with a Baja ledge, a sport court, a BBQ and kitchen setup, and a fire pit. There are also two guesthouses, one of which is presently used as a gym, Control4 automation, and solar panel systems.
