Kevin James' estate is for sale for $5.5 Million (Redfin)By Lizbeth Scordo | omg!
t's pretty fitting that actor Kevin James made his fortune on the hit sitcom "King of Queens" because it looks like the actor has certainly been living like a king in recent years.
The 47-year-old has put his 11,291-square-foot Los Angeles-area mansion on the market for $5.495 million, according to real estate website Redfin. And a peek inside shows an over-the-top home that appears better suited for some of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" than for the burly star of "Paul Blart: Mall Cop."
In addition to five bedrooms and nine bathrooms, the custom-built mansion, which sits on two acres of land in the San Fernando Valley community of Encino, includes a giant open-air gym, state-of-the-art home theater, and even a dressing room "befitting a posh boutique on Rodeo Drive," according tothe listing.

It's unclear how many upgrades (if any) James did after moving in and James' listing agent did not return calls for comment, but one thing's for sure: The guy clearly loves luxury.
Other posh amenities include a resort-style backyard with pool and hot tub, a spa-style bathroom complete with a shower made of rocks and outdoor patio with a fireplace, and a gourmet kitchen with a copper range and hood made by fabled French manufacturer La Cornue, which can cost upwards of $75,000.
Oh, and the entire place is wired with an automated system that lets the occupants control everything from the home's lighting to music to the air temperature, all from a remote control. Now, that's the kind of amenity couch potato Doug Heffernan could have truly appreciated.
