Just over a decade ago, Jeremy Renner purchased a 1960s home in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills, which he called his “forever home.” The acclaimed actor and real estate developer invested heavily in personalizing the property with luxurious touches. Following a severe snowplow accident at his Nevada residence in early 2023, which nearly cost him his life, Renner spent time recovering there.
In a past Tumblr post, Renner shared, “I split my time between a house in Lake Tahoe and my home in Los Angeles. In both, I invested in features I wouldn’t add to a spec home, like a massive solar-panel system, one of the largest in L.A. I also built a giant lagoon with a dive bridge and waterfall, crafted by the same experts who design for the San Diego Zoo. It’s all about creating a home that fits my taste and desires.”
Now, 12 years later, Renner has decided to sell the property, listing it for just under $13 million—around $9 million more than his purchase price in spring 2012. According to The Wall Street Journal, Renner extensively renovated the home, spending about $5.5 million to more than double its size while preserving its midcentury charm. He also added a detached recording studio and regraded the lot to enhance outdoor functionality.
The property, built in the early 1960s, is situated behind walls and gates on over an acre in a cul-de-sac within Nichols Canyon, close to Runyon Canyon Park. The six-bedroom, nine-bath residence spans 4,000 square feet and features dark gray polished floors, wood-beam ceilings with clerestory windows and skylights, and Fleetwood sliding glass doors that create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
Notable features include a mirror-lined living area with a striking fireplace and a chic bar, a screening room, and a formal dining space connected to a gourmet kitchen with dual islands, high-end appliances (including a La Cornue range), a walk-in pantry, and a breakfast nook with banquette seating. The spacious primary suite includes a private wraparound balcony, dual closets, and a luxurious bath.
The picturesque grounds offer a pool and spa with bridges and waterfalls, ample al fresco lounging and entertaining areas, and a separate guesthouse with an en-suite bedroom. The property also includes an attached three-car garage. The listing is represented by Rayni Williams and Branden Williams of The Beverly Hills Estates.
Renner, the 53-year-old Northern California native and two-time Oscar nominee, is selling the home to downsize and focus on his recovery. He recently completed filming for the latest season of “Mayor of Kingstown” and is preparing to work on a book about his near-death experience and recovery.
