Jussie Smollett's Home Sale: A Sad Chapter In His Saga

Like an additional chapter in the whole sad saga of Jussie Smollett, The Blast reports that disgraced actor and former star of the popular TV series Empire recently sold his home in Studio City for about $1.655 million – and a loss of $30,000 against what he paid for the house in 2017. This significant loss highlights the personal and professional turmoil Smollett has faced over the past few years. The secretive sale of his property indicates a desire to distance himself from the public eye amidst ongoing legal challenges.

The sale was finalized in July, but the home was never publicly listed, showcasing how Smollett has been attempting to move forward quietly. Originally purchased just over two years ago, the property features three bedrooms and four bathrooms within a generous 7,573 square feet. Nestled behind gates and an extended driveway, it was marketed for its "wonderful views and lush green rear yard," which were significant selling points.

In its original listing, the home was described as having a strong balance of warmth and modern aesthetics. Notable features included digital surveillance, a two-car garage, custom Dolby 5.1 surround sound, and a Pro Cooks Kitchen. The lower master retreat was especially luxurious, equipped with two walk-in closets and a spacious master bath, reinforcing the property's appeal when it was first bought.

Recently, Smollett has kept a low profile, steering clear of the public spotlight as he navigates the legal complications stemming from his past actions. This swift sale of his home at a loss might indicate a strong desire to leave Los Angeles behind and start anew, as he reportedly relocates to New York in hopes of reviving his career in show business.

For those curious about the property, a video tour by Tiffany Chi is available, providing a glimpse into the home that has been a significant part of Smollett's life over the past few years.
