Luxury real estate. Scarlett Johansson is selling her home
Scarlett Johansson, who will star as the Black Widow in the “Iron Man 2″ sequel due out in May, has been tangled in her own web of real estate woes. She recently listed her walled and gated Spanish villa in the Hollywood Hills for $4.95 million - quite a reduction from the $7 million she paid in 2007 when, public records show, she purchased it from director-producer Harold Becker.
Perhaps she overpaid, given the 1931-built home only has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms in about 4,300 square feet - on the smaller side for Hollywood.
And that doesn’t account for the money she and husband Ryan Reynolds spent restoring the house to its former glory. The couple also added eco-conscious upgrades including solar electricity and a glass-topped central atrium. The house has a period-style kitchen with original tile, a maid’s quarters that could be used for a media room or a gym, and a basement. housingwatch.com
