Jamie Dornan classic California home for sale

The star of Fifty Shades of Grey puts his classic mid-century modern California home on the market for over $3 million.

Northern Irish actor, Jamie Dornan, was best known for his lead role in the movie Fifty Shades of Grey and should be even better known around Tinsel Town for his flawless taste in picking good value in real estate.Whether well guided or through good instincts, the house he chose in 2011 at the start of filming the television series Once Upon a Time and while filming Fifty Shades, is a classic California mid-century modern with extra design perks to make it ultra charming. Having now returned to his residence in Cotswolds, England, he has put his Hollywood house on the market for $3.195 million (U.S.).Nestled in the Hollywood Hills among large shade trees at the end of Nichols Canyon Road, the 2,510-square-foot, four-bedroom, four-bath mid-century home was built in 1959 but underwent an extensive update prior to Dornan's purchase.Capitalizing on the pleasant year-round climate, the centre of the home has a large atrium flooding the interior rooms with sunlight and the sound of trickling water wafting from a small waterfall and Zen-like water pond with large stepping stones.A peaceful retreat yet large and dramatic enough for entertaining, the home also opens to an outdoor terrace and deck with grass area, swimming pool, spa and firepit that is enclosed for privacy by a wall and towering foliage.Rooms are large with ceiling-to-floor glass walls opening either to the atrium or outdoor entertainment area. There is a double-sided fireplace between the living room and dining room and one kitchen wall is against the glass wall of the atrium, making it feel as though one is cooking outside. The master suite has a walk-through closet and opens to the pool terrace.Labeled "The Golden Torso" by The New York Times, Dornan became a wellknown male model appearing in campaigns for Abercrombie & Fitch, Hugo Boss, Armani, Dior Homme and Calvin Klein, quickly parlaying his runway skills into television commercials. Vogue ranked Dornan one of the "25 Biggest Male Models of All Time."The path from modeling to acting was a natural for Dornan, who appeared in popular American, British and Northern Ireland television series and films. It wasn't until his part as Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy that his box office popularity soared off the charts.Jamie Dornan's mid-century modern enclave in the Hollywood Hills is now offered for sale, priced at $3.195 million. The listing agent is Jeff Kohl of The Agency, Beverly Hills, California.Source: toptenrealestatedeals.com[print_gllr id=34986]
