Granite tops the counters in the eat-in kitchen. A curved window borders the breakfast nook, bringing in views of a walled backyard with a pool and spa. On the second story, there’s a bonus room.

Busia, 51, is the daughter of Kofi Abrefa Busia, the former prime minister of Ghana. Following a long acting hiatus, she returned to the stage two years ago for the Broadway production of “Eclipsed” alongside Lupita Nyong’o.
