Amanda Seyfried Lists Historic Los Angeles Home for $3.2 Million as She Embraces Rural Life
After nearly 15 years as the owner of a charming, historic property in the heart of Los Angeles, actress Amanda Seyfried has officially listed her West Coast residence for $3.2 million. The sale marks a significant shift for the Mean Girls star, who has increasingly prioritized her serene, animal-filled farmhouse in upstate New York over the bustle of Hollywood.
A Piece of Hollywood History
The 2,700-square-foot home, constructed in 1916, has deep roots in the entertainment industry. Seyfried purchased the property in 2011 from fellow actor and Jennifer’s Body co-star Adam Brody for $1.85 million. By listing the home for $3.2 million, the actress stands to net a profit of approximately $1.35 million, potentially closing the door on her long-term ownership of the LA landmark.
Currently listed with Justin Paul Huchel of Carolwood Estates, the house is described as a “private oasis.” Tucked away behind mature hedges and a secure gate, the property balances early 20th-century character with modern updates. The 9,104-square-foot lot boasts a private pool and spa, a classic wraparound porch, and lush, landscaped gardens—all within striking distance of the popular hiking trails at Runyon Canyon.
Inside, the residence features a light-filled sunroom, a cozy living area anchored by a fireplace, and a distinctive kitchen defined by its bold blue cabinetry and modern fixtures. The home also offers an added convenience: a converted garage currently functioning as a private home gym.
Trading Red Carpets for Rural Sanctuaries
The decision to sell is a natural evolution for Seyfried and her husband, actor Thomas Sadoski. The couple has spent recent years cultivating a rustic, grounded lifestyle on their upstate New York farm, where they reside with their two children and a menagerie of rescued animals, including goats, horses, ducks, and peacocks.
In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, the Mamma Mia! actress revealed that the rural transition has been vital for her mental health. Having dealt with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety since childhood, Seyfried noted that the responsibility of caring for animals provides a sense of perspective. “I still have anxieties, but tending to the aging animals keeps me from obsessing over things that don’t matter,” she explained. “It’s grounding.”
A Shift in Real Estate Priorities
This latest listing follows a trend of Seyfried pruning her real estate portfolio. In 2022, she sold her Manhattan condo for $3.25 million—a significant jump from the $1.9 million she paid for it in 2010. While she maintains a residence on New York City’s Upper West Side, the sale of her Los Angeles home signals a definitive commitment to the calmer, quieter pace of life she has established outside of the spotlight.
As Seyfried continues to thrive in her career, her trajectory highlights a growing trend among Hollywood elite: finding equilibrium between the demands of fame and the healing power of a simpler, country-side existence.
