$28.9 million price tag on 1951 mansion
By Dolores Quintana
Comedian and artist Jim Carrey has decided to part with his Brentwood mansion of 30 years as reported by Realtor.com. Carrey bought the home in 1994 for $3.8 million and now has put a price tag of $28.9 million on the estate. The 1951 home comes with a custom Art Deco-style theatre, tennis court and yoga pavilion in 12,704 square feet of space.
Listing agent Janelle Friedman of Sotheby’s International Realty–Santa Monica-Venice Brokerage said, as quoted by Realtor.com, “This home provides a setting for those wishing to enjoy sophisticated entertaining or … plenty of room for children to play and explore in a magical setting. Brentwood is one of the top neighborhoods in Los Angeles,” Friedman notes. “It’s just far enough from the bustle of the city while still enjoying easy access everywhere, from downtown to the beach.” The home has tons of natural light, brick and hardwood floors, and five fireplaces.
The mansion’s grounds are screened by a 280-foot hedge and within the home, you will find
five bedrooms and six full bathrooms and another three and a half baths. All of the bedrooms are ensuite. The master suite has wood paneling, a fireplace, leaded-glass windows and a soaking tub and a bay window, a covered balcony, a sitting area, and one of the home’s five fireplaces.
Friedman says the custom movie theatre is, as quoted by Realtor.com, “as striking as the famous movie palaces of Hollywood, featuring mohair-covered sofas, burl-wood columns and snack area, and a lavish marble bath.” Inside the theatre, you can find costumes from some of Carrey’s films, displayed in glass cases along with other movie memorabilia. The theatre and the gym are on separate levels outside of the one-story ranch home’s main area.
In the backyard, there is a gazebo, pool house, pool and spa with a waterfall and a platform meant to be used in the practice of yoga and meditation and a vegetable garden with tomato plants. A three-car garage awaits the owner’s prized vehicles.
Additionally, the luxury mansion has a chef’s kitchen with all of the top appliances and an indoor barbeque. Glass doors open out into a huge courtyard and Friedman says, as quoted by Realtor.com, “To have two verdant acres, strewn with mature trees; large, grassy areas; and meandering paths is a rare and prized commodity,”
