This secluded Midcentury Modern residence in the Hollywood Hills, originally constructed in 1951, has a notable history of celebrity ownership. Prior to Josh Hutcherson's acquisition in 2012 for $2.94 million, the home was owned by Ellen DeGeneres and later Heath Ledger. Hutcherson sold the property in 2019 for $2.94 million, the same amount he paid for it eight years earlier.
The nearly 1,900-square-foot home offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Interior highlights include polished concrete floors, beamed ceilings, and a living room with a fireplace. The updated kitchen is equipped with modern Miele and Sub-Zero appliances.
A significant expansion of living space comes from the approximately 2,500-square-foot deck. This outdoor area features a sunken conversation pit, a lounge with a projector, an outdoor grill, and a screening room, all overlooking a wooded hillside, earning it the 'tree house' nickname.
The property was listed for approximately $3.5 million before its final sale price of $2.94 million. The home's enduring appeal lies in its preserved 1951 architecture, updated amenities, and the unique legacy of its famous former inhabitants.
