Halle Berry puts her Sunset Strip estate up for sale at nearly $12 million
Halle Berry is asking $11,995,000 for her 1926 Sunset Strip compound, a sale that comes days after Olivier Martinez asked for primary custody of their son.

Halle Berry is selling her longtime home on the Sunset Strip. It is one more big shift in her life while her custody fight with ex-husband Olivier Martinez plays out in court.
The listing went up earlier this month with an asking price of $11,995,000. That was only days after Martinez went to court seeking a temporary restraining order that accuses her of abusing their son.
Inside the property
The roughly 5,900-square-foot house was built in 1926 and sits on a lot of more than 25,000 square feet. The compound has five bedrooms and six bathrooms spread over three buildings: a three-bedroom main house, a guesthouse plus a separate studio.
Perks include a massage room, a gym, a pool with a spa plus a bar that has its own kitchenette. Outside there is a fire pit, a pizza oven, shaded spots for eating outdoors along with a meditation garden.
Richard Ehrlich of Carolwood Estates has the listing.
The custody fight
The house reached the market just days after Martinez filed for primary custody of their son.
Martinez claims Berry choked 13-year-old Maceo during a fight over a virtual reality video game. Berry denies attacking her son. She says Martinez is bending the story to suit his own goals.
A judge has ruled that Maceo may testify at an upcoming custody hearing. His testimony will be limited to the restraining order request.
A house with a past
The home has a rough chapter of its own. It is where Martinez got into his notorious Thanksgiving 2012 fight with Gabriel Aubry, Berry's former boyfriend.
