Actor Mahershala Ali, who has won an Academy Award, already owns two homes: one in the Mount Washington district of Los Angeles and another in the historic Germantown enclave of Philadelphia. However, he has made the decision to add a calm refuge in the North Hills neighborhood of Oakland to his collection of properties.
The new home that Ali and his wife, the producer and actress Amatus Sami-Karim, purchased for over $1.2 million was initially offered for just under $1 million. Ali and his wife spent nearly $1.2 million for their new home.
After a long career in film and television, the experienced actor, who is now 48 years old, achieved his breakout performance when he was cast in the role of Remy Danton on the Netflix series “House of Cards.” In addition to that, he has had appearances in films such as “The Hunger Games,” “True Detective,” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” However, Ali is perhaps best recognized for his supporting parts in the films “Moonlight” and “Green Book,” for which he was awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor on both occasions.
Ali has recently been cast in the major role of his first leading role, which was in the science fiction drama “Swan Song” on Apple TV. Additionally, he is expected to star in the next Marvel Comics picture “Blade.” As executive producers for the HBO documentary “We are the Dream: The Kids of the Oakland Martin Luther King, Jr. Oratorical Fest,” Ali and his wife were honored with an Emmy for their contributions to the production of the documentary.
Ali recently purchased a home that was built in the early 1960s. It has a total of four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a living space that is little more than 2,100 square feet. Additionally, it has parquet and tile flooring, high wood-paneled ceilings, and skylights. Other features include skylights.
. Steps that lead down to a deck and the front entry are located on the front of the rustic wood-shingled building. The garage is adjacent to the building and may accommodate two cars for parking.
The main level features a living room with a fireplace and glass walls that connects to a small dining area and a kitchen with stone countertops, a decorative copper range hood, and stainless steel appliances. This floor contains three bedrooms, including a master suite with a tiled bathroom featuring glass-block elements, dual vanities, and a tub/shower combination.
A bedroom with an attached bathroom, a full kitchen, and a family room with a lovely red brick fireplace and sliding glass doors leading to a balcony are all located on the lower level, making it a perfect location for guests to stay. Located outside, the almost quarter-acre grounds include a backyard patio that is perfect for dining and sunbathing in the woodland surroundings.
The listed agent for the property was Michael Stephens of Corcoran Global Living, and Mahershala was represented by Tom Telfer of Pointe Real Estate.
