Singer and actor Tyrese Gibson listed his atmospheric 2010-built Mediterranean in Woodland Hills for sale this month. A look at the $3.499 million-asking residence reveals a charming house in a private setting, and one that hits many of the sweet spots of the style.
The exterior design features and materials at work here include a turreted entrance, wrought iron window panels and a tile roof; the stucco walls are particularly well accomplished, exuding softness with subtly rounded corners.
Inside the home, there are textures and glossy surfaces to spare, including a piano-black fireplace with a raised hearth set against a mottled wall in a soft shade of dark red. Hardwood and stone tile floors are featured throughout. Outside of the master bedroom and its bath, the soaring foyer—with glitzy chandelier—and media room are the flashiest spaces; the latter features some deco touches.
In back, the property works in a pool, a patio, and a small loggia, with an exterior spiral staircase rising to the second-floor terrace that overlooks the recreation area. A giant Bumblebee stands sentry—a nod to Gibson’s role in the Transformers film franchise—though it’s unlikely to convey in the sale.
Gibson’s upcoming projects include F9, with Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, John Cena, Helen Mirren, Kurt Russell and Charlize Theron; Rogue Hostage, with John Malkovich; Morbius, with Jared Leto; and Dangerous, with Scott Eastwood and Mel Gibson.
