Harrison Ford’s former Los Angeles home that he purchased for $1 million after starring in Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi is now on the market for $20 million. Ford owned the house for nearly 30 years, from 1983 to 2012, and even did some renovations himself as he used to be a carpenter. Located in a coveted gated neighborhood in Brentwood near the Getty Center Museum, the property was designed by architect Gerard Colcord in 1951 and sits on nearly 1 acre of land. The home, which is over 7,000 square feet, features four bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a large living room, library, and detached guesthouses.
The property was later sold by Ford to Kevin Reilly, former Chief Content Officer of HBO Max, for $8.2 million. Reilly owned the house for four years before selling it in 2016 for $12 million. The next owners were Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel and model Miranda Kerr, who have recently listed the home to move into a mansion they created in Holmby Hills, which cost $145 million for the land alone. Kerr, who recently welcomed her fourth child, described her home life as ‘organized chaos’ due to juggling the demands of family and work, but she emphasizes the importance of regular date nights with Spiegel.
Ford, now 81, was recently honored at the Critics Choice Awards with the Career Achievement Award. In his emotional acceptance speech, Ford expressed his gratitude for the opportunities he has had in his career and thanked his wife, Calista Flockhart, for her support. He also paid tribute to his co-stars over the years and reflected on the changing landscape of the entertainment industry. Ford’s director for ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’, James Mangold, presented him with the award, praising the actor for his timeless body of work that has been both popular and critically acclaimed.
The sprawling Los Angeles home features a long swimming pool, a pool house, and an outdoor space ideal for entertaining. Inside, the main house includes a chef’s kitchen with luxury amenities such as a stand-alone island with a marble top and double sinks. The bedroom offers stunning views of Brentwood, a fireplace, and space for a sofa. The bathroom features a farmhouse style bathtub and hardwood floors. Kerr and Spiegel have been balancing their busy work lives with family time, making it a priority to spend quality time together amidst their hectic schedules.
Miranda Kerr has been vocal about the pressures young models face today due to the rise of social media, something she did not experience when she began her career. She emphasizes the importance of self-care and balance, including regular date nights with her husband. The couple’s decision to move into a new mansion they created in Holmby Hills reflects their commitment to creating a comfortable and harmonious living environment for their growing family. The sale of Ford’s former home for $20 million highlights the valuable real estate in desirable Los Angeles neighborhoods and the changing landscape of the entertainment industry.
