Retired NFL linebacker James Farrior has a buyer lined up for his home in Tarzana. Farrior listed the residence in the spring of 2020, for $4.65 million, but dropped the price to $4.45 million early this year. The property is currently listed in contingent status.
Sitting on a lot measuring two-thirds of an acre, the 2017-built contemporary traditional has plenty of room for its single-level, 7,000 sq. ft. footprint. The home is designed around a central open-air courtyard, which features a slate floor, a landscaped centerpiece, and enough room for an outdoor living area and a BBQ installation if desired.
The recent completion date placed sliding glass doors or pocketing glass walls in many rooms, so this home’s living style rambles both indoors and out. Wide-plank hardwood floors—looks like walnut—add a bit of earthy luxury, while cool tones bring some soothing complexity to the design. The master bedroom boasts a glass wall opening to a private patio, and a linear fireplace.
The outdoor living area is designed around a large pool and its companion spa, with abundant space for sun lounges. An outdoor kitchen, fire feature and citrus trees complete this turnkey lifestyle estate in Tarzana.
Farrior won the Super Bowl twice with the Steelers.
