Amanda Seyfried’s Los Angeles residence has officially hit the market for approximately $4.8 million. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom property, located in the Hollywood Hills, offers a retreat from the city’s usual celebrity glamour. While the listing highlights original details and vintage charm, the price tag reflects a significant increase from the purchase price in 2011. It feels less like a typical star home and more like an idyllic country setting.
Tucked Behind the Gates
Built in 1916, the traditional two-storey property sits behind gates and tall hedges near Runyon Canyon. Its white weatherboard facade and cheerful red front door contrast nicely with the surrounding leafy gardens. The residence offers an unexpected sense of privacy for the area. Before Seyfried bought the approximately 254-square-metre home from her “Jennifer’s Body” co-star Adam Brody in 2011, the property reportedly belonged to Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst. This history adds star power to its pedigree.

Vintage Interiors
Inside, the home favors relaxed family living over opulence. Dark timber floors run through the lower levels, while multi-paned windows and decorative archways preserve the early 20th-century charm. The formal living room feels restrained yet welcoming, featuring a grey sofa and a vintage rattan coffee table. A vintage-style mirror and wall sconces add elegance to the space without overwhelming the room.
The dining room is less formal, with mismatched black chairs surrounding a long timber table. An unexpected taxidermy animal brings a touch of Seyfried’s country life into the city. The kitchen features powder-blue cabinetry, white benchtops and a deep farmhouse sink. Open shelving places everyday crockery within easy reach, keeping the room practical. The timber flooring prevents the blue-and-white scheme from feeling too clinical.
The breakfast nook stands out with floral wallpaper covering a bank of windows. A curved window seat, lilac sofa and mismatched chairs make the room feel collected rather than carefully coordinated. An antique-style pendant light finishes the look.

Private Outdoor Oasis
The backyard serves as the home’s biggest luxury. A wide, covered porch looks across the rear garden, creating a shady spot for dining and relaxing. Lawn and mature trees frame a long swimming pool below.
