Queen Latifah, born Dana Owens, has sold her gated Hollywood Hills West house for $1.65 million, reports Los Angeles Times.

Owens' listing agent was Norma Streams of Rodeo Realty while Melissa Zee, an agent from the same office, was the buyer's agent.

According to the descriptions provided by L.A. Times, the once traditional 2,026-square-foot home built in the early 1920s, has been upgraded to blend effortlessly in the modern times.

Architectural details such as open floor plan, modern accents, French doors, soaring ceilings for an airy feel, an exquisite glass-tile fireplace and magnificent dark hardwood flooring add more elegance to the home.

The Hollywood Hills property also includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a library that can serve as a study room, a family room and an extra room which can be turned into a storage space, a personal gym or even a home office.

Outside there are grown trees standing proud in the rear yard. The grounds display a patio, a deck, and an outdoor spa which makes living in the home comfortable and relaxing.

A multi-talented artist

Queen Latifah's artistry is vast. She started as a hip-hop rapper in the late 1980s and in 1994, she got a Grammy award for her solo rap performance of "U.N.I.T.Y."

She then became known as a singer-songwriter, actress, comedian, TV and record producer and a host all rolled into one amazing artist.

The Oscar nominated actress starred in an HBO biopic of the blues icon, "Bessie," portraying the lead character Bessie Smith.

On love and sexuality

In an interview with Uptown Magazine in April, Queen Latifah admitted that she's wondering how the audience will respond to her character. "I'm not really sure how people will feel about [Bessie's bisexuality], It's not like it's a secret with her story. She was just free."

She also gave her opinion on love and bisexuality.

"People's ideas in general are antiquated when it comes to who you love. We haven't moved as quickly as we probably should. And the reality is that there's always been gay people in the black community, so it's not foreign to us. And not just as a black community but just a society as a whole," Queen Latifah shared.

"Who you choose to marry is really up to you and it's nheWho you choose to marry is really up to you and it's not something you should be judged on. I don't find being gay or lesbian to be a character flaw. Couples should be protected under the laws of this country period. It actually angers me. It's not unusual so let's be adults and let's move forward," she added.

"Bessie" premiered on Saturday and got positive reviews from multiple news outlets. Variety's Brian Lowry wrote, "The performances are splendid throughout, starting with Latifah, whose gutsy embrace of the role requires laying herself bare in every way imaginable."
