After about two years of listing and re-listing his Hollywood Hills West investment property as a rental and a sale, Vince Vaughn finally accepted an all-in offer on the home.
In the end, Vaughn took a little less than $2.5 million for the home, a not-bad conclusion to a long process; his initial ask for the house was $2.7 million—although he’d offered it for rent at $12.5K per month a few months before it appeared on the open market. He bought it in 2014, paying $2.38 million.
An exterior view reveals a garden-variety 1950’s working-class suburban house; innocuous, quaintly dated, and simple of taste…but the attached pergola, flowering vines, and series of picture windows place it as decidedly Southern Cal, and things turn optimistic.
Inside, a renovation (by former owner Kate Bosworth) is incredibly tasteful, and thoughtful; it brings out the spirit of the home, showing it off to best advantage, and doesn’t get too flashy for its own good. Or, flashy at all. The interiors are off-white—including the living-room fireplace—with dark wood floors and exposed beams to ground things nicely.
The charm of the home must be the connected open-concept living area and brick patio; sets of French doors provide inviting transitions either way, giving the house an easygoing, interior/exterior living style. The motif is picked up in the master suite on a more intimate level.
Vaughn’s busy these days as an actor and producer. In the former role, he appears in next year’s Stephen Merchant-helmed ‘Fighting With My Family’; in the latter, he co-produced the upcoming ‘The Opening Act.’
