Chris Tucker's Short Sale Situation

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

It's been a rough year for Chris Tucker. Not only does he owe over $11 million in back taxes but the comedian is also set to lose a lot of money on his home in Monteverde, Florida. The Real Estalker reports that Tucker bought the five-bedroom home for $6 million in 2007 but he won't be getting anything near that now, it is currently listed as a short sale.

Tucker's home is on around an acre of in the gated community of Bella Collina. The community has clubhouses, a fitness center, lakes, vineyards and a golf course. His lakefront faux Mediterranean was a former "Street of Dreams" model home and has over 8,800 square feet of space spread out over two floors. The home has some unique touches including a pirate-ship-themed home theatre complete with a mast.

The master bedroom (complete with zebra print rug) has a sitting room with a morning kitchen and a bathroom with a stained glass window. The backyard includes a patio with a barbecue center, bar, outdoor fireplace, pool and spa. It is listed for $2 million.

Chris Tucker's Tarzana Home, Estate of the Day

Chris Tucker, the comedian most famous for playing Jackie Chan's foil in the Rush Hour movies, has put his home in the Mulholland Park Estates area in Tarzana on the market. The Real Estalker Mama unearthed this find for us and also reports that he owns the house next door so it is not clear which home Tucker lives in. This makes sense because this luxurious but brain-numbingly boring home doesn't seem to reflect Tucker's antic spirit. The home was a previous model estate and was likely furnished for neutrality by home stagers. The five-bedroom home is 6,500 square feet and also has a home theater, upstairs game room and library. The pool area is particularly over the top with its statues and water features. The master bedroom also has a very shiny campagne bedspread and some curious lighting and a rather small television tucked into a bookshelf. The master bath includes a very large spa tub which looks a little dated (the home was built in 1995 and already seems to be showing its age). This home does seem to have a decent location for the valley, it looks to be up on a hill and has views over the valley. The home is listed at $3.8 million.
