The multi-hyphenate diva, who some fans think has turned “Dancing with the Stars” into her own runway, has sold four of those houses for a profit since 2020. Her last Palisades house, a three-story contemporary, is selling for $7.85 mιllιon, over a mιllιon dollars more than she paid over four years ago. Sotheby’s International Realty’s Heidi Lake and Rodeo Realty’s James Respondek list the property.

The five-bedroom, six-bathroom white-stucco contemporary with city lights, ocean, and coastal views boasts a wall-to-wall carpeted main bedroom with bird’s-eye views and a spa-style bath that opens to a tiny private courtyard terrace. The lower floor has a staff or guest suite with full kitchen, a two-car garage, gym, home office, and entertainment lounge with 120-inch projection screen.

A two-sided fireplace encased in a wooden volume separates the sleek, ocean-view eat-in kitchen from a cozy family room with a floor-to-ceiling wall of glass that disappears into the walls for a seamless transition to the backyard.

Outdoor areas were meticulously created. The backyard has a small grassy area, a dining ramada, and a limestone-terracing-surrounded infinity-edge pool. The home’s crowning glory may be the large roof terrace, which has an outdoor kitchen, a linear fire pit with cushioned built-in bench seating, a party-sized spa, and stunning city views from sunrise in the east to sunset over the ocean.

Banks, who has a child with Norwegian photographer Erik Asla and is dating Canadian in-flight entertainment pioneer Louis Bélanger-Martin, will still have numerous residences after selling her Pacific Palisades property. In 2009, she purchased $10.1 mιllιon for a mansion-sized duplex flat in lower Manhattan, which she routinely lists for rent and sale. She bought an oceanfront Malibu home for over $4.7 mιllιon this year.
