She portrays business-savvy character Cookie Lyon in hit series Empire. 

And Taraji P Henson's real life persona may not be that far removed from her on-screen one, after she listed her plush four-bedroom Hollywood Hills home for sale at an impressive $2.675 million.

The award-winning actress, 47, first bought the property in 2010 for $1.695 million, before putting it on the market in 2015 at $2.675- but it failed to sell.

Her cookie jar! Taraji P Henson's real life persona may not be that far removed from her on-screen one, after she listed her plush four-bedroom Hollywood Hills home for sale at an impressive $2.675 million

However not one to be disheartened, the savvy mother-of-one has now relisted the luxury property $575,00 below the original asking price- and it's not hard to see why it would be snapped up in an instant.

The four-bedroom mansion boasts exquisite views of Los Angeles, and is based on Moorish architecture, which is inspired by the North African and Iberian Peninsula region.

The 4202-square-foot home features five bathrooms, high ceilings and a walk in closet, with floor to ceiling windows.

And its future glamorous inhabitants won't even need to bother with going to a salon, as one of the bedrooms has been converted into a dressing room with built-in cabinetry, a salon chair, and a bathroom with a shampoo bowl.

The kitchen boasts a large preparation island, custom wood cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances along with a large pantry and a wine cellar that holds more than 600 bottles.

Adding a cosy feel, the plus property boasts three fireplaces and Moroccan multi-coloured chandeliers on the exteriors and balcony areas. 

With a Buddha feature in the atrium, the luxury continues in the romantic outdoor area, which features a pool and hot tub.

Taraji's impressive property portfolio also boasts her two bedroom starter home in Glendale, a high rise in Chicago and another Hollywood Hills home.

In 2015 Taraji put her more modest 2 suburban starter home on rental market for $3,700 a month.

The star made her two-bedroom 1930s Spanish bungalow in Glendale, California available for rent after buying it in 2002, according to Variety.

The actress hadn't lived at the house since 2010 and moved after finding success on Person Of Interest portraying Detective Jocelyn 'Joss' Carter, according to TMZ.

She then moved to the five bedroom mansion, before putting it up for sale.

'Listen, we're like the Jeffersons. Now a big LA house. To us, it's a mansion,' she said at the time.

In 2015 Taraji became the first African American woman to win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2015 for her portrayal of Cookie Lyon on the hit Fox show Empire. 

The talented actress then went on to win a Golden Globe Award and two Emmy Awards in 2015 and 2016.

The mother-of-one has been a long-standing player on the circuit, making her breakthrough in 2001 when she starred in Baby Boy alongside Tyrese Gibson.

Taraji received an Academy Award, SAG Award and Critics Choice Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress and received a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast.

Another nomination and a stream of key roles in series and films followed before she started portraying hit character Cooky Lyon alongside Terrence Howard on Empire, a drama centred around the complex lives of a family at the head of a music empire.

Taraji recently opened up about her complex on-screen relationship with husband Lucious Lyon, played by Terrence Howard, as she promoted the upcoming fourth season of the series last month.

Admitting that she argued to have their sex scenes removed from the episodes, Henson revealed the feminist inklings behind the character choice.

'For me, as a woman, I felt that the power would be lost if she had sex with him,' she said.

'Cookie’s trying to evolve. She really loves this man. She just snapped and destroyed the entire Empire [offices] with a bat,' Taraji shared.

'That’s very animalistic. And then to get to that peak of passion, it just felt like it was taking a stronger stance for herself to not fall for flesh… and walk away.'

Empire return for its fourth season come Fall 2017.
