Hip-hop star Wiz Khalifa, the rapper and songwriter of “Rolling Papers” and “Blacc Hollywood” fame, closed on a home in Encino for $3.4 million.

The contemporary-style house, built last year, features a 9-foot pivoting front door, a floating staircase and 24-foot-high ceilings in the common rooms. Pocketing glass doors open from the living room, which has a fireplace and a wine bar, to a covered patio space that overlooks the swimming pool.

A center-island kitchen, a formal dining room, a home theater and an office fill out the main floor. The upstairs master suite, one of five bedrooms and 6.25 bathrooms, has an oversize closet with a jewelry island.

Wrap-around balconies, an open-air terrace lounge and a pool house create additional living space outdoors. There’s also an outdoor kitchen.

Khalifa, whose legal name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz, has collaborated with artists such as Big Sean, Snoop Dogg and the late Mac Miller.

Actor and comedian Tony Hale has sold a home in the historic Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles for $1.56 million.

Owned by the “Veep” and “Arrested Development” star for more than a decade, the traditional-style home was made available for lease in recent years for about $7,000 a month.

The charming two-story, which dates to 1937, features such classic details as detailed millwork, molding and dark hardwood floors. Built-in bench seating creates a focal point in the kitchen area, which has been updated. Bay windows bring natural light into the living and dining rooms.

The 2,226-square-foot floor plan also holds four bedrooms and three updated bathrooms. Outside, there are upper and lower brick terraces, lawn and a large fireplace. Also on the property is a detached garage.

Hale, 48, has multiple Primetime Emmy nominations for his supporting role as a vice presidential aide on “Veep,” winning twice.

Married actors David Walton and Majandra Delfino are ready to part with their home in L.A.’s Hancock Park neighborhood. Full of Spanish style inside and out, the 1920s estate is on the market for $3.2 million.

The pair bought the property six years ago for $1.75 million and remodeled it soon after, touching up the kitchen, bathrooms and floors.

Past an ivy-shrouded facade, the home opens through an arched doorway to a foyer with custom tile and wrought-iron rails. An imported stone fireplace anchors the living room. Other main-level spaces include a family room with built-ins, a dining room under beamed ceilings and a center-island kitchen.

Walton, 40, has starred in the sitcoms “Cracking Up,” “Bent” and “About a Boy.”

Delfino, 37, has been acting since the ’90s, with credits including “Roswell,” “Friends With Better Lives” and “State of Georgia.” As a musician, she released a full-length album titled “Tarte” in 2007.
