Jim Carrey has revised the market value of his Los Angeles sanctuary, now pegged at a reduced $23,950,000. An ode to the fluctuating tides of Tinseltown’s property seas, Carrey’s decision comes hot on the heels of his engagement with the eagerly anticipated Sonic the Hedgehog 3, trimming down his initial asking price from the loftier neighborhood of nearly $29 million lodged in February 2023. This revered stomping ground, a testament to mid-20th-century craftsmanship established in 1951 and last acquired by Carrey in 1994 for a modest $3.8 million, sprawls over 2 acres of prime SoCal soil.
Beneath the Ranch-style architectural finesse, lies a sprawling 12,700-square-foot living space, narrating tales of grandiose living rooms with towering beamed ceilings, dining areas bathed in natural light courtesy of full-length windows, and an illustrious kitchen arena. Not to be overshadowed, the primary suite revels in its own architectural ballet, featuring a tiled fireplace, celestial ceilings, and an en-suite bathroom adorned with wooden craftsmanship.
Yet, amidst its tangible luxuries—including a bevy of amenities from a lighted tennis court, waterfall pool and spa, to a personal art deco theater—the estate’s true essence pulsates within its capacity to serve as a serene, almost hermetic retreat from the dazzle of city life. This serene Los Angeles oasis, ensconced within the arms of Brentwood’s lush greenery, not only chronicles the legacy of a celebrated American comedy icon but also stands as a beacon of California’s architectural evolution and the changing dynamics of celebrity real estate ventures. Its intricate dance between retaining the classic charm and embracing contemporary luxuries makes it a relic worth beholding, a narrative of 280’ of hedged privacy and two acres of endless storytelling.
