Actor Josh Duhamel, known for being the lead in many romcoms and for being Fergie’s ex-husband, just sold his suave and relaxed Encino haven for well above its asking price. The “Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!” and “Ransom Canyon” star listed it in June for $2.99 million and swiftly closed a deal on it a month later for $3.4 million. Now, that’s a win.
Set behind tall hedges and boasting gorgeous mountain views, it looks exactly like the kind of place a celebrity would find refuge in Los Angeles. However, as this sale foreshadows, Duhamel doesn’t anticipate sticking around the city too much longer. According to Realtor.com, he plans to keep a home in L.A. until his 12-year-old son is done with school there, then hopes to leave the Golden State behind. He has residences in North Dakota and Minnesota, where he also spends significant time.
While its unclear if a bidding war spurred a buyer to shell out $400,000 more for the four-bedroom pad, its stylish design and breezy atmosphere may have been enough to warrant the splurge. At the heart of the one-level house is a sun-soaked, open living and dining space perfect for laidback yet glamorous Cali-style hosting. It opens right to the patio, pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, and sauna. Plus, captures stunning vistas.
The primary suite, which received a full makeover in 2023, is the next show-stopping spot. The new owner can step right outside from the space to start each day with a morning dip, or enjoy pampering themselves in the lavish walk-in closets and bathroom decked out in beautiful stone.
A quick and smooth sale for all, Thomas Atamian at Coldwell Banker represented the seller while Andrew Pearce with Sotheby’s International Realty represented the buyer.
