The real estate website Trulia.com reported:
The soon-to-be star of the Lethal Weapon TV series has purchased a grand, Paul Williams–style property located on one of the most coveted streets in the Hancock Park neighborhood, with five bedrooms and seven baths. A stylish main house, built in 1949, features a bright and open floor plan bathed in natural light. In the formal living room, a marble fireplace sits near two large bay windows. A chef’s kitchen and breakfast room with custom built-ins is the ideal gathering spot for any family (especially one as big as the Wayans family!), while the family/media room also has its own fireplace. It opens out to the backyard, providing a sense of indoor/outdoor flow.
