Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson spent $3.48 million building his mother a Cape Cod-style home in Encino.
Nestled on a half-acre corner site, tucked behind a fence, this property boasts six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a backyard pool and spa.
Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s medley of “Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World” was playing as the 50-year-old wrestler-turned-movie star said on Instagram that it “took me and my design team 8 weeks” to prepare it.
Ata enters her new home with a heavy heart and is immediately greeted by the bright, airy, white decor with dark floors.
The great room has a wall of French windows and doors, bookcases, and a fireplace as its focal point. Carrera marble worktops, a bespoke tile backsplash, and navy-colored cabinetry define the gourmet kitchen. There is a breakfast nook there as well.
There’s a separate dining room for formal meals.
The main suite features a large marble-tiled shower and a standalone tub in addition to plenty of closet space. It and several other rooms in the house open to the backyard, which is fenced in with hedges and has a pool, a grassy area with multiple sitting places, a built-in barbecue, and a game area.
A half-court for basketball is located close to the three-car garage.
The listing was shared by David Berg of Smith & Berg Partners at Compass and F. Ron Smith. Bianca Aubrey of Compass and Lauren Ravitz at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties served as Johnson’s representatives.
Following a prosperous professional wrestling career, Johnson shot to fame as a top-grossing box office draw. One of his bonuses is that he’s been able to buy his mother “a few homes over the years,” he posted on Instagram.
Johnson starred in the HBO series “Ballers” and is most recognized for his work on the “Jumanji” and “The Fast and the Furious” franchises. However, you may see him this summer in Warner Bros. Pictures’ “DC League of Super-Pets,” where he voices Krypto the Superdog, and in “Black Adam,” where he plays the lead role.
This autumn, the superhero movie, a spinoff of 2019’s “Shazam!”, is supposed to hit theaters.
