In 2008, Jeremy Renner and his business partner Kristoffer Winters purchased a Greek Revival-style estate in Hollywood Hills for around $1.5 million. After renovating the property, they sold it for a $2.4 million profit in 2009. Now, the meticulously updated home is back on the market, listed for just under $6.5 million by Daniel Giventer and Dovi Levin of Christie’s International Real Estate.
Originally built in the early 1920s and formerly owned by Disney writer and producer Perce Pearce, known for his work on Bambi, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and Fantasia, the estate was famously dubbed the Hemingway House for its rumored use as an “after-party pad” by Ernest Hemingway.
Set behind gates and high hedges on a corner lot of approximately one-third of an acre in the upscale Selma Avenue Residential Historic District, the home features tan stucco and a green terracotta roof. It boasts 5,800 square feet of sophisticated living space with rich hardwood floors, extensive built-ins, and period fireplaces.
The home includes standout features such as a screening room, a library adjacent to a bar area, and a dramatic black-and-white-tiled entry foyer leading to a fireside living room with French doors opening to the outdoors. The formal dining room is adorned with a crystal chandelier, while the sleek kitchen offers dual islands, top-tier appliances, and a breakfast nook with banquette seating. The primary suite includes a fireplace, a covered balcony, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower.
Outside, the property features park-like grounds with multiple terraces for outdoor lounging and entertaining, a fire pit, and a black-bottom pool and spa. A detached two-car garage is complemented by a spacious cobblestone motor court with space for up to nine additional vehicles.
Renner, a two-time Oscar-nominated actor, has been active in acquiring and developing multimillion-dollar properties in Southern California. He is known for roles in films like S.W.A.T., The Hurt Locker, The Town, and The Bourne Legacy, as well as for his portrayal of Clint Barton/Hawkeye in Marvel films and TV series. He also hosts Rennervations on Disney+, a series focused on giving back to communities through reimagined, purpose-built vehicles, and is currently starring in season three of Paramount+’s Mayor of Kingstown.
