Jeff Vasishta Best known for her sassy, comedic roles in Disney’s “That’s So Raven,” and “The Cheetah Girls” movies — as well as for a short-lived stint on “The View” — singer/actress Raven-Symoné has put her 6-bedroom, 6.5-bath Sherman Oaks home onto the market, though the place is hardly as over the top as its owner’s larger-than-life on-screen persona.Symoné is asking $2.1 million for the 4,000-square-foot house, a significant increase over the $1.4 million she paid for it in back in 2009.
