Actor Ving Rhames lists a 5,900-square-foot house that he owns in Los Angeles' Brentwood area for $6.85M
Actor Ving Rhames has placed a 5,900-square-foot house that he owns in Los Angeles’ Brentwood area on the market for $6,850,000.
In a Big Time Listings exclusive, we can report on Rhames’ latest listing of a house that he owns in Brentwood. This listing, which is in Brentwood’s Brentwood Park neighborhood, hit the market on Friday, and now is on top of another house elsewhere in Brentwood that Rhames previously had listed back in October for $2,699,000 (and which still has not yet sold; earlier this month, it was reduced to $2,099,000).
Let’s stick to the house that Rhames just placed on the market, however. Located on San Vicente Boulevard, the five-bedroom, 5,900-square-foot house was purchased by Rhames for $6,500,000 in August 2006, according to public records. It also stands directly next door to what ostensibly is Rhames’ principal dwelling — his 10,613-square-foot mansion, which also is on San Vicente Boulevard and which he acquired in 2000 for $4,750,000, according to public records.
Now, however, Rhames is selling off this 5,900-square-foot house next to his mansion, and he’s poised to make little to no profit whatsoever on the deal after fees, depending on what kind of offer he accepts.
Built in 1993, the San Vicente Boulevard house that Rhames is selling has five and a half baths, Palladian windows, tall ceilings, large-scale entertaining rooms, a mahogany library, a grand staircase, a master suite with a balcony, three additional suites, and a cook’s kitchen with a breakfast area, according to public records and listing information. Outdoor features on the gated, 0.59-acre (25,875-square-foot) property include mature trees, a grassy yard, a pool, a pergola, fountains, and a large two-story guest house, according to public records and listing information.
We have no idea why Rhames is selling off this 5,900-square-foot house next door to his mansion. We’ll keep you posted on if the house sells (and if so, for how much). Stay tuned.
Oh, and before anyone asks, yes, we *are* aware of the infamous and horrific dog-mauling incident that occurred in 2007 on Rhames’ San Vicente Boulevard properties. We’re just not convinced that the sickening incident (which we’d prefer to say as little about as possible) has anything to do with his decision to list one of his two San Vicente Boulevard houses. We’ll leave it to our readers to guess another reason why this 5,900-square-foot house is on the market (and why Rhames has reduced his asking price for his house elsewhere in Brentwood from $2,699,000 to $2,099,000).

I associate him particularly from M.A.S.H., my beloved serial. I remember watching this serial with my brother. It must have been long long time ago.
Hopefully there are steel re-runs on TV, I miss no-one.
Being successful is one thing but getting rich off donations is another. If the money strictly came from books or from people saying I want to give money to you the person–not the ministry then that would be a better situation. This appears to have money rolling in from all corners

Hi Kimorah
Pls bring back the show, my twins cant waite to watch it, they are boys and six years old the thing is they have a krush on your daghters and they just want to watch it. I was also addicted to the show I just want to watch your fabulous life, that i wish I had, but I know it come with the hard work.

One day is one day.
nice house
I should have been an actor!
I cant believe people are talking to them like they are a real family. ITS TELEVISION! Also, Gary Coleman and Dana Plato are dead and have been for a while. Conrad Bain is in a nursing home in California.
Where do you people live, Mars?!
Cute house,,kinda small though. Wouldn’t think celebs lived there at all
Very nice on the inside though,my parents considered buying it,but choose a nicer bigger house in the beverly hills area.
I have lived and worked in “Over Priced” Beverly Hills for a few years. A wise investment buy property miles away from Los Angeles,Calif ..then build a residence. With foreign investors from the Middle east,China and other non-speaking “English” countries. They fly over buy up real estate,,tear down then flip it for a profit.,,Hollywood isnt what it used to be when I first stepped into this former glitz city. Change is apparent ..but is this really the United States anymore or China? Saudi Arabia?…
I notice that I typed my email incorrectly, preciousdlitecleaning@yahoo.com
is this the “haunted” house she is going on about on celebrity ghost stories??? and re: is this us or china/saudi arabia… who cares. its hollywood. are those tits/hair/teeth you see on anyone walking around real or are they purchased?
PLEASE BRING THE SHOW BACK
PLEASE BRING THE SHOW BACK, I MISS ALL THE DOCTORS
Hey Roseanne,
I to was a funny lady. But my husbands MS kept me from traveling the circuit.
I would love to live there and help with the farm. I love what you are doing. You are so giving. You are my hero. Ps. If he won’t marry you get rid of the extra baggage.
I’m ready, more than ready to help on the Island. Give to those that need.
I have worked in the theatre at a college and love people. I’m now reitired and hate it. I’m so bored. I need to talk with you. My husband has had MS for 30 years. I am at the end of the so called rope.
I love the laughs I get when I do comedy. But I always have to go home to nothing. I feel chained to a pole. I hate it. It’s the hightest of highs to hear the people laugh. Something my husband will never understand. It’s a drug to me.
What do I do?
In the state of Illinois I’m a master gardner. The University of Illinois.
I love the earth. I love the smell of it. You are an angel. Giving everyone
the fruit of the earth. Jesus loves you.
I do use the F word just like you do. I can’t imagine making through some of the daily things given us without it
Beer helps.
ya ya ya

Hi Kris,
My name is Lois Grossman and love your shows, I watch them all the time. Congratulations on Kim’s wedding. After watching the show in Bora Bora and Robert said he did not know what he wanted to do.. Why doesn’t he start he own Clothing Line. He has a creative mind and could come in with a style of him own for Men. T-Shirts, Cargo Pants, Hiking Boots and the list goes on and on. The family loves Golf he could come up with a Golf shirt in his own style. And Suits, Suits by Robert Kardashian, people would live to see a clothing line by him.
Just an idea.

That explains it!!!!!!!!!!! Every year, Stone Barn Castle used to do a really cute Halloween scavenger hunt — we used to go every year when, all of a sudden, it closed down. I didn’t realize it was purchased by him…that really stinks!!!!!!
I live in the area near the house at 7327 Woodrow Wilson Drive. It burned to the ground in September (it was being rented by another actor). If you google “Woodrow Wildon Drive structure fire” you should find the video.
