Actor Forest Whitaker has found a buyer for his 1.6-acre estate, which includes not just one but two separate houses, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. Selling at $3.85 million, this price is lower than the nearly $6 million he originally listed the property for back in 2017. By late 2019, Whitaker had already reduced the asking price to $4.3 million.
Considering the buyer is acquiring two houses for the price of one, $3.8 million is a reasonable deal. The estate features a stunning 4,705-square-foot main house styled in Mediterranean architecture, accompanied by another house that potentially serves as a guest house, measuring nearly 2,000 square feet. Altogether, this property boasts an impressive total of 11 bedrooms.
In marketing materials, the main house was described as follows: “Set on a private road, behind gates and down a long driveway nestled amongst the trees sits this beautifully appointed Mediterranean Villa. A sweeping double staircase leads you down to expansive main rooms. The open living, dining, family rooms, and kitchen were designed for both family living and elegant entertaining. All rooms with their Brazilian cherry wood floors offer French doors out to wrap around balconies and patios.”
Whitaker purchased these properties back in 2003 with his wife, Keisha Whitaker, from whom he filed for divorce last year. The estate's rich features and expansive layout make it a significant sale in the celebrity real estate market.
