“How to Get Away With Murder” star Viola Davis has picked up a Toluca Lake, CA, home for $5.7 million, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The European-influenced home measures roughly 7,500 square feet and includes five bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It rests on nearly a half-acre and is fronted by a stacked-stone walkway, covered porch, and fountain.

The home’s huge, center-island kitchen features gray cabinetry and white and gray marble counters. In fact, gray in varying hues is the color scheme used throughout the house, including in the sunken family room, living room, and media room.

The main floor opens onto an entertainment patio with built-in barbecue and saltwater swimming pool.

Davis, 51, is a Juilliard School graduate and an award winner for her work on stage, screen, and TV. She’s won Tonys for her Broadway work, including in 2010 for Best Actress in a Play for her role in the revival of “Fences.”

In 2014, she was the first black woman to win the prime-time Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for her role as lawyer Annalise Keating on ABC’s “How to Get Away with Murder.” Davis was also nominated for an Oscar in 2011 for her leading role as a 1960s maid in “The Help.”
