Arsenio Hall Enjoys the Fruits of a Large Villa After 66 Years of Dedication to His Career

Arsenio Hall has decided to put his amenity-rich estate in the Tarzana neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley up for sale, as one might expect given that he recently spent $5.2 million on a modern farmhouse-style home in the Calabasas section of Los Angeles.

A little over a year ago, not long after it was newly built, the 66-year-old actor, comedian, and former talk show host reportedly paid $1 million for the modern mansion. This is much less than the just under $5.3 million he is currently asking for it.

He became well-known for his roles in the movies “Coming to America” and “Harlem Nights,” as well as for his work on the 1989–1994 television series “The Arsenio Hall Show.”

Behind fences and gates sits a white stucco and dark brown-trimmed building with a spacious motorcourt and three-car garage on a level plot of land that is more than one-third of an acre in size.

There are six bedrooms and seven bathrooms spread across 6,500 square feet of two-story living area with hardwood floors, high ceilings, sophisticated lighting, and floor to ceiling Fleetwood glass sliding doors. The double entrance doors, standing twelve feet tall, provide access to it.

A living area highlighted by a linear fireplace hidden behind a wood accent wall is connected to a formal dining room with doors that lead to a covered terrace perfect for outdoor gathering.

At the grand entry is a floating staircase that hides a wine closet. Top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, two enormous quartz islands with cascading edges, walk-in pantry, and custom cabinets can all be found in the adjoining gourmet kitchen.

The home also has a multipurpose space that can be used as an office or a lounge, as well as a cinema room. The large master bedroom upstairs has a marble fireplace, a private balcony, two walk-in closets, and a large bathroom with a separate wet area that has a soaking tub and shower.

The major draw is the turf-covered backyard, which has a zero-edge pool, a Jacuzzi with a Baja ledge, a sport court, a kitchen and BBQ area, and a fire pit. There are also two guesthouses with solar panel systems, Control4 automation, and one that’s currently being used as a gym.
