After a period of slightly over seven years as the owner, Zoe Saldana has chosen to list her classic Beverly Hills estate, complete with a tennis court. As initially reported by The Wall Street Journal, the esteemed film actress, renowned for her notable roles in productions like Star Trek, Avatar, and Guardians of the Galaxy, has placed the property on the market with an asking price of $16.5 million. She acquired the residence from model and entrepreneur Kimora Lee Simmons in the spring of 2016 for $8.7 million.
Nestled within the secure confines of the Hidden Valley Estates community, encompassing an expansive half-acre of gated and hedged grounds, the three-story residence, originally constructed in 1974, has since undergone substantial renovations. It now offers five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and an impressive 6,400 square feet of living space adorned with hardwood floors, imported polished stone finishes, and designer lighting.
The journey to the entrance of the property involves traversing a meticulously maintained yard, culminating at a columned front porch featuring an inviting yellow-hued door. Upon entry, one is greeted by a grand double-height foyer, graced by a gracefully curving staircase.
Among the notable interior features are a formal dining room, enveloped in wainscoted walls, a living room with a cozy fireplace framed by steel-and-glass cabinetry, and a family room adorned with wood finishes. The well-appointed kitchen boasts an eat-in island, top-of-the-line appliances, and a separate breakfast room.On the upper level, a generously sized master retreat awaits, complete with a fireplace, a sitting area, dual closets, and an opulent marble bath featuring an oversized oval soaking tub.
Additionally, the estate offers a media room, a lounge area, and a gym. Outdoors, the meticulously landscaped grounds showcase a pool and spa, an al fresco dining space equipped with a barbecue and kitchen setup, and an illuminated tennis court. A two-car garage is also situated on the property.
