Actress Taraji P. Henson, who plays the scheming ex-wife of Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) on the Fox series “Empire,†has put her home in Hollywood Hills on the market for $3.25 million.
The Moorish-inspired contemporary, built in 2009, is entered through ornate double doors.
Three floors featuring dark wood floors and vaulted ceilings include formal living and dining rooms, a media room, an office and a chef’s kitchen with a center island and 600-bottle wine cellar.
Rows of lighted alcoves, arched doors and windows, hand-carved fireplaces and multicolored chandeliers are among the interior details. A small built-in atrium with statues and other ornamental pieces sits behind the kitchen sink.
A total of four bedrooms and five bedrooms are within more than 4,200 square feet of space. A fifth bedroom has been outfitted as a dressing room complete with custom cabinetry, vanities and a salon chair.
Outdoors, there’s a lounge area with a fire pit and a hot tub. Sets of balconies sit off of the second and third floors.
The house previously sold for $1.695 million in 2010, records show.
Vanessa Blair of John Aaroe Group has the listing.
