When people move into the trendy Silver Lake neighborhood of LA, they know they’re going to be amongst the stars, but not everyone can boast living in the same home Leonardo DiCaprio once owned. That bragging right is reserved for a lucky few, now including the unknown buyer who has picked up the actor’s stylish former house. The A-lister owned the Spanish-style spread for almost 20 years, purchasing it in 1999 and selling it just last year. Now the epitome of cool California living thanks to a chic renovation, the abode has changed hands again for $3.4 million.Worlds away from the extravagance of The Great Gatsby mansion, this 4,000-square-foot home lets simplicity shine. Elegance and tranquility abound with bright white walls, clean lines, and a constant connection to the gorgeous outdoor spaces. Glass walls and doors give peeks of the lushly landscaped grounds and will always tempt the new owners to spend time under the warm Los Angeles sun. Plus with a lake right nearby, it’s easy to enjoy nature anytime without having to go to extremes like DiCaprio’s character saw in The Revenant.Built in 1931, the house retains exquisite historic details even after extensive remodels to bring in every modern luxury. It enchants with a gated courtyard entrance, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, and original wooden doors. Offering four bedrooms, four baths, two half baths, a pool, and an elevator, this sweet pad is the perfect escape from zippy LA life.The area itself is a tranquil haven with charm on every street, so it’s no surprise Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis recently nabbed a historic home in Silver Lake, too. The new owners of DiCaprio’s former spread are certainly in good company here.Sarah Jackson of Compass represented the buyer and Manuel Fierros of Ontrak Real Estate represented the seller.
