Marlon Wayans Sets Down Roots in Marvelous .4M Modern Farmhouse

Marlon Wayans Sets Down Roots in Marvelous $5.4M Modern Farmhouse


The actor Marlon Wayans can laugh all the way home to his brand-new modern farmhouse in Encino, CA.

He recently purchased the dazzling residence in the San Fernando Valley for $5.3 million. 

The home was originally listed for $5,395,000 in November, so Wayans scored a slight deal—especially when you factor in the hot Los Angeles-area market, where bidding wars often drive prices above asking.

A complete teardown and rebuild, the property was previously sold for $1.6 million in October 2020. Construction began, and one of the most stunning residences north of Ventura Boulevard was completed late last year.

“Located in the celebrity enclave of Encino’s Amestoy Estates, this property has all the features and amenities one could need or want,” says the listing agent, Carol Wolfe of Rodeo Realty. JoAnne McKenzie of Sotheby’s International Realty represented Wayans.

Among those unique amenities is a massive great room with a soaring gabled ceiling, as well as an impressive black-and-white marble fireplace.

Wayans, 49, got his big break in the 1988 film directed by his brother Keenen Ivory Wayans, “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka.”

He went on to collaborate with his brother Shawn Wayans on the sitcom “The Wayans Bros.” and in such big-screen comedies as “Scary Movie,” “Scary Movie 2,” and “White Chicks.”

He’s also appeared in dramas including “Requiem for a Dream,” and, most recently “Respect,” in which he plays Aretha Franklin‘s first husband.
