When the name Eddie Murphy comes up, we first think "comedian." But like so many of the today’s successful celebrities, the man is hard-working, resourceful and excels in many areas of talent, in addition to comedy. Murphy is an award-winning actor, singer and musician. He is near the top for the highest movie-dollar-earning actors, and number 10 on "Comedy Central’s" list of the 100 greatest stand-up comedians. Though he started out doing rather raucous nightclub acts, most of us were introduced to Murphy on "Saturday Night Live." From there he went into film, making his mark in "48 Hours," the "Beverly Hills Cop" series, "The Nutty Professor" and "Trading Places." He also won a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in his role of James "Thunder" Early in "Dreamgirls."

Murphy met his wife, Nicole, in 1988 and they were married in 1993. This mansion, now for sale, was their family home until their divorce in 2006. When it was purchased by the current owner from Nicole in 2007 for $6.1 million, it was the highest price sale in Sacramento. If it sells for its current asking price, it will still be the largest private real estate sale in the Sacramento area. Purchased by the owner as an investment, it has not been lived in since the Murphys. Selling furnished, the decor is that of the Murphys’ including a rare Schimmel Pegasus piano and a "Shrek"-themed bedroom.

Coming in at over 12,000 square feet for the main residence and 5,200 square feet for the guest home totaling 10 bedrooms and 14 baths, both homes rest on a 2.5-acre double lot at the top of Los Lagos overlooking Folsom Lake, the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Sacramento skyline. Included is a 1,200-square-foot gym and wet rooms, screening room, game room and bar, a 9-car garage, pool, spa and tennis and basketball courts.
