A 6-bedroom home with a star-studded past has recently hit the market.

The Hollywood Hills stunner was previously home to Eva Longoria, who lived here for over a decade.

The actress, most famously known for her portrayal of Gabrielle Solis in the hit TV series Desperate Housewives, purchased the property soon after the house was completed in 2006.

She then held on to it until 2018, when she sold it for $3.164 million, taking a $400k loss on the home she bought for $3.6 million at the height of her career. At the time, Longoria also famously owned Tom Cruise’s sprawling former compound.

According to our sources, after Longoria parted ways with the Hollywood Hills home, the current owner leased it to Forest Whitaker’s family before listing it for sale at the end of 2021.

Now back on the market with a $3.85 million price tag, the former celebrity home is looking for its next owner. Erik Miles and Kelly Reid of Compass hold the listing.

Packing 8,880 square feet of beautifully appointed living space, the luxury home comes with 6 bedrooms, 9 baths, and a rooftop deck with extended canyon and city views.

The entire ground floor serves as an entertainment level — with a living room/game area, wet bar, movie theater, office, and full bathroom.

It has a stand-out feature in the form of aquarium-like, see-through glass windows that look inside the outdoor pool.

Then, a grandiose spiral staircase leads to the upper floors, where all of the rooms come with high ceilings and plenty of natural sunlight beaming in.

Upstairs, there’s a generous primary suite that features two large walk-in closets, a spa-like bathroom with vanity, an additional bathroom, and deck.

The outdoor space comes with a pool/spa, large deck and bbq kitchen area, capitalizing on the surroundings and opening up to wonderful canyon views.

The views are even more mesmerizing from the top, where there’s a rooftop deck that’s bound to make a get-together with friends a truly Instagrammable moment.
