Now that Kenya Barris has dropped a hefty $7.3 million on some swank new Toluca Lake digs, it seems the award-winning writer/producer (“Black-ish,” “#BlackAF,” “Girls Trip”) no longer has any need for his more modest — but still huge — house in Studio City’s nearby Colfax Meadows neighborhood. And he’s looking for a big profit on the latter place, hoisting it back onto the market with a $7.4 million ask; Barris paid paid songwriter Emanuel “Eman” Kiriakou $4.6 million in an off-market deal for the house barely two years ago.
Originally built way back in 1936 but completely rebuilt in 2017, the walled and gated estate is sited on a 0.38-acre parcel fronted by a three-car garage and grassy lawn dotted with mature trees, and features six bedrooms and seven baths. Inside, just over 6,600 square feet of open-plan living space is adorned throughout with wide-plank hardwood floors. Garnering attention on the main level are formal living and dining rooms, plus a spacious great room boasting a gourmet kitchen outfitted with Wolf and Thermador appliances that abuts a breakfast area and family room. French doors open to provide a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle, and there’s also a refrigerated wine display cabinet.
