Rashard Mendenhall<\/strong><\/a>, a former NFL player turned Hollywood writer, is selling his lavish estate … which just happens to be the iconic former home of comedy legend Richard Pryor<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Rashard, who played 6 seasons as a running back with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals, just put the 6-bedroom property on the market for $4,236,000.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Richard lived there for several years after purchasing the home way back in 1976 … and it’s where he once hosted Barbara Walters<\/strong><\/a> for a famous sit-down interview.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

It’s also where Pryor infamously doused himself in rum and lit himself on fire while freebasing cocaine. Pryor suffered severe burns on more than 50% of his body and referenced the incident in his comedy special “Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The property is tucked away in the exclusive Sherwood Forest neighborhood in Northridge — outside L.A. in the Valley — with 9,000 square feet of living space on a 2.2-acre plot of land.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The main residence includes 4 bedrooms, a formal dining room, a gourmet kitchen and a library … plus game and billiard rooms.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

There’s a separate guest house and a separate pool house … each with its own kitchen … as well as a professional dance studio\/gym space that can be turned into a recording or production studio.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

In addition, the sprawling property features an office, children’s playhouse, 3-car garage and a kennel. The estate is also a legal horse property, for those who are so inclined.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Among the resort-style amenities … a 65-foot pool and spa with a cascading waterfall, tennis court, putting green, sauna, wine closet and a barbeque pavilion.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The meticulously maintained grounds include a citrus grove and a vegetable garden … and the property sits behind a wall and a gate.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Rashard bought the place back in 2017 for $2.5 million … a couple years after he retired from the NFL and started writing “Ballers” episodes<\/strong><\/a> for HBO.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

There’s meaning behind the $4,236,000 asking price, for Rashard, at least — his career NFL rushing total stands at 4,236 yards. We’ll see if potential buyers are inclined to stick to his sentimental pricing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Neil McDermott<\/strong> and Beate Kessler-McDermott<\/strong> with Hilton & Hyland\/Forbes Global Properties hold the listing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
