Three years after the sudden, tragic death of his ex-girlfriend and mother to four of his six children, P Diddy is finally ready to let go of the home where Kim Porter passed away.
The rapper, whose real name is Sean Combs, bought the clapboard-sided East Coast traditional-style home in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles in 2009 for $5.3 million for the late model and their children to live in. Porter, who had an on-again, off-again relationship with Combs until 2007, died unexpectedly on the property almost three years ago in November 2018 due to lobar pneumonia. According to the images featured on the listing, the home built in 2006 is currently totally vacant and all of the furnishings have been removed except for a circa-2011 Cadillac Escalade that still sits in the driveway.
The half-acre estate is fully gated, protected by a security system, and also sits on a very desirable street that’s home to other A-listers like Sia, Viola Davis, Steve Carell, and Billy Ray Cyrus. Right next door is also oil heir Nats Getty and his wife, YouTube star Gigi Gorgeous. The listing implies that the home may need a little fixing up before the new owners move in as well, noting that “[This] stunning traditional is ready for the next owner’s updated finishes.”
But the mansion is still fully equipped for rap royalty, boasting nearly 10,000 square feet of living space, six bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms, and a double-height foyer with crystal chandelier, checkerboard marble floors, and a curved staircase. There’s also a huge living room complete with fireplace, a chef’s kitchen with state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, a screening room, and a primary bedroom with private balcony, fireplace, and spa-style bath. Outside, the property is covered in sycamore trees and manicured boxwood hedges that surround a sports court, backyard fireplace, al fresco dining loggia, and a dark-bottomed swimming pool with attached spa and Baja sundeck.
