Film giant Forest Whitaker lists his super-sized compound in Hollywood Hills
Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker has a Hollywood Hills compound he owns through a trust for sale at $5.995 million.
Made up of two separate addresses, the gated property includes a sprawling main house and a three-story secondary or guest house for a total of 11 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and 8,396 square feet of living space. The treed grounds encompass 1.66 acres.
The more than 5,600-square-foot main house is entered through a wide half-circle rotunda. The two-story entry has a double stairway leading down to the living areas. White walls are paired with gleaming reddish-tone wood floors throughout. Most rooms open to terraces.
The second house features five bedrooms, five bathrooms and its own gated driveway. There’s a swimming pool, spa and outdoor kitchen. Views take in the cityscape and Santa Catalina Island.
Whitaker, 56, won his Oscar for a portrayal of dictator Idi Amin in “The Last King of Scotland†(2006). He starred in “Lee Daniels’ The Butler†(2013) and plays Desmond Tutu in this year’s “The Forgiven.â€
Elizabeth Gottainer and Jeeb O’Reilly of Douglas Elliman are the listing agents.
