The Woodland Hills, Calif., compound that Atlanta-based singer and actor Tyrese Gibson has listed for less than $2.9 million, more than double the $1.385 million he paid shortly after it was built 11 years ago, is an unremarkable, tan-colored Mediterranean-style house that almost no one passing by would notice or look at twice.
Since the late 1990s, the “Sweet Lady” and “How You Gonna Act Like That” singer has released six albums and sold 3.7 million copies, according to online estimates. He achieved greater success in five “Fast & Furious” films and three “Transformers” films. He’ll appear in the “Spider-Man” spinoff “Morbius” with Jared Leto, as well as two more “Fast & Furious” flicks. He’s transitioning from singer to actor.
Gibson’s not-quite-half-acre property, which was first spotted on Zillow Gone Wild and is now for sale 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 massive double-height combination entrance and living room is extravagant, with its even grander curved staircase and curlicued wrought-iron railings, much of the main house is a standard premium suburban affair that can comfortably house a large family.
A baby grand piano, white slipcovered furniture, and a black fireplace can be found in the spacious living room.
The home theater has brown microsuede chairs and a large, high-end kitchen with a dining area and family room.
The majority of the bathrooms, including the master, have medium-brown wood cabinetry and beige tile floors. The back of the house is another carnival.
A giant yellow Transformer rules over a fire pit with a built-in circular bench and patriotic red, white, and blue cushions. (A similar monument can be found at Gibson’s Atlanta estate.)
An Asian-inspired poolside pavilion features an outdoor kitchen, built-in grilling station and bar with cherry-red worktops, a half-bath, and a full Benihana-style Teppanyaki setup concealed behind shoji screens.
