'America's Next Top Model' Exec Tyra Banks Offers Beverly Hills Estate for $7.75M
"America's Next Top Model" executive producer Tyra Banks is unloading her posh California estate.
Banks, the 41-year-old TV personality who also serves as a judge in the chic model search reality show since 2003 is selling her Beverly Hills estate for $7.75 million, Los Angeles Times reported. The stunning model purchased the property 11 years ago for only $3.085 million, or less than half of its asking price today, the news site noted, citing public real estate records.
The gorgeous celebrity hired Heidi Lake of Sotheby's International Realty as the listing agent for the property. The Los Angeles Times informed that Banks is saying hello to a Malibu Hills retreat home, which made her decide to part with her Beverly Hills residence. However, she reportedly still has one more property in the area.
The nearly 6,000-square-foot Los Angeles abode built in the 1920s features four bedrooms, five full bathrooms and two half bathrooms. Other areas occupying the dwelling place are a formal dining room, a library, a media room, a sun room and a personal gym. The next owners will find a haven in the master suite that comes with its own sitting room, a safe room and a walk-in closet to store several clothes and accessories. The suite also provides romantic views of the city.
Interior details of the Spanish Colonial-themed estate are remarkable like ancient French doors, travertine and maple wood-lined flooring, soaring ceilings, windows installed at the high sections of the walls and intricately designed stairways.
Outdoors, the grounds showcase fountains adorned with hand-crafted tiles, an outdoor kitchen, a lounge area for a dozen people and a swimming pool.
Banks' views on beauty
It may be shocking to know that the supermodel, who appeared on the cover of magazines and graced fashion runways, still has some insecurities about her body. Yet, she is honest to admit them on Women's Health magazine in 2013. However, Banks shared that she accepts these flaws and even finds a way to be a more confident woman despite having them.
"Most definitely. I'm very human. My body is more [like] a woman that's not a model than it is [like] a model. I know how to dress [for my body] to give off illusions, and I like to teach women about it--it's important for women to have that power and that arsenal...tricks that make you feel good when you walk outside. Of course, there are certain things that I don't love about myself. But I don't harp on them. I don't beat myself up about it," Banks said.
