Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson reportedly bought their contemporary Pacific Palisades home from film producers Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall in 2010, at a price listed as slightly more than $26 million. The Los Angeles Times reported that the house was built in 1996 and has four bedrooms and five bathrooms; Architectural Digest later described a 14,513-square-foot, three-story residence designed by Gwathmey Siegel.
Which Pacific Palisades home is this?
This is the contemporary residence Hanks and Wilson bought from Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall, the producers, in 2010. The Los Angeles Times reported the listed sale price as slightly more than $26 million. That figure is a historical reported purchase price, not a current valuation. Los Angeles Times, February 20, 2010
It is easy to confuse the property with another Palisades home associated with Hanks. In 2014, the Los Angeles Times reported that he sold a separate Spanish-style villa for $5.025 million, identifying the much larger Kennedy-Marshall property as a different home. Los Angeles Times, April 23, 2014
What are the reported size and specifications?
The Los Angeles Times, citing property records in its 2010 report, described the house as built in 1996, with four bedrooms and five bathrooms. It rounded the home’s size to 14,500 square feet. Architectural Digest gives a more precise figure of 14,513 square feet and describes the home as three stories on a 1.5-acre property. These are published descriptions, not the result of a current property inspection. Los Angeles Times; Architectural Digest
