LOS ANGELES _ After catching the home-buying bug in recent years, Tyra Banks is giving her real estate portfolio a makeover once again. The model and television personality has listed two Pacific Palisades homes for sale and divested herself of a town home in the area.
Listed for $9.25 million is a five-bedroom, six-bathroom home that Banks bought as an investment two years ago for $7.35 million. The tri-level contemporary sits high up on a half-acre bluff with unobstructed ocean and mountain views.
Accessed through a gated courtyard entry, the house features high ceilings, a great room, a media room and an office. There are four fireplaces in about 6,100 square feet of living space.
The other home for sale, listed at $4.25 million, has four bedrooms, five bathrooms and 3,700 square feet of open-plan living space.
Among eye-catching details is a floating glass-and-wood staircase that sits just beyond the front door. A two-way fireplace is shared by the living and dining rooms, and pendant lighting tops the island in the kitchen.
A detached office/gym lies in a corner of the backyard.
The two listings come after Banks sold a two-bedroom town house in the Palisades for $1.47 million, a property for which she paid $1.35 million a year ago.
Banks, 44, began her career as a model before expanding into acting. The 24th season of her show "America's Next Top Model" premiered in January.
