Finding no buyers at her asking price of $2.995 million, actress Taraji P. Henson of “Empire” fame has put her home in Hollywood Hills up for lease at $12,000 a month.
The three-story home, found in the Beachwood Canyon area, draws inspiration from Moorish style with scalloped stone trim and rows of front-facing balconies set within varying arches. Steps lead up to ornate double doors.
Built in 2009, the house includes formal living and dining rooms, a media room, an office and a center-island kitchen and wine cellar. A window above the kitchen sink takes in a built-in atrium/statuary.
The roughly 4,200 square feet of living space also includes four bedrooms and five bathrooms. A fifth bedroom had been used as a dressing room and salon.
