Shonda Rhimes pays $4.6M for a third Hancock Park home

High powered TV executive Shonda Rhimes may be well on her way to taking over Hancock Park as thoroughly as she’s taken over Thursday nights on ABC. According to Variety, Rhimes has just purchased her third home in the neighborhood, dropping just under $4.6 million on a Tudor-style residence built in the 1920s.

The property was initially listed for $4.8 million in March, so Rhimes was able to complete the sale at a bit of a discount.

Around 4,900 square feet in size, the house sits on a roughly half-acre lot with neatly manicured gardens, a fountain, guest house, and a swimming pool. Interior features include hardwood floors, multiple fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, ornate light fixtures, and a large dining room with a coffered ceiling and French doors leading outside.

In addition to her two other Hancock Park residences—including a Mediterranean-style mansion she picked up from musician Beck in 2010—Rhimes has also owned a duplex just west of the swanky neighborhood since 2007, when she paid $1.66 million for the property, according to Variety.
