Comedian Russell Peters Picks Up Encino Home for $5.6M

Published: November 14, 2020 | By: American Luxury Staff

Comedian Russell Peters—no stranger to the Los Angeles-area residential real estate market—branched out somewhat this fall when he shelled out just over $5.5 million for a property which was, at one time, home to the Kardashian family…and, for a short time, asylum for O.J. Simpson before he embarked upon a certain well-publicized and iconic road trip. Rob Kardashian put the home up for sale in 2014, and sold it around two years later.

The listing details have the house as a 2019 rebuild, but what remains of the original Mediterranean-inflected suburban box appears to be limited. The updated structure features stone accents, a stucco exterior, black and hardwood trim, and glassy, planar balconies which appear to have intersected with the home after being picked up by a particularly violent Santa Ana gust.

The interiors include a wide-open common area with concrete floors and a floating staircase; the 8,000 sq. ft. home uses its space well. A long galley kitchen hugs an interior wall, and display wine storage is part and parcel of the built-in décor. There are six bedrooms and nine baths in all, including an extravagant master suite.

The .4-acre lot features a grill and dining area, pool, spa, and extensive deck and patio space.

The home’s overall execution is in line with contemporary trends and doesn’t leave much to be desired.
