Leonardo DiCaprio Lists Restored Traditional in L.A. for $5.8M

Academy Award-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio just listed a 4,644 sq. ft. period home in Los Angeles. The five bedroom home was, until the spring of 2018, owned by musician and ancestral Ishmaelean Moby, who handed it off to DiCaprio in exchange for $4.91 million. Today the property is available for $5.75 million.

Moby, with characteristic taste, revised the home during his ownership tenure. The 1926-built Tudor’s original warmth, which likely tended to the effusive side of the scale by way of plentiful dark-finished wood, has been toned down for a living style that is brighter and less demonstrative. The living room is painted in an understated off-white that is a touch warm; an airy room, with a buoyant feel. Other details of this central space include plank hardwood in a natural finish, a ceiling with subtle groin vaulting, a pleasing mix of window shapes, and a wood-burning fireplace that looks a lot like cast plaster and brings a touch of the ornate to the room.

The dining room sports another fireplace in a similar style, with a marble hearth step this time, as well as wainscoting, and French doors opening to the deck. The kitchen transitions neatly to a dayroom with a built-in bench seat, and progressed via French doors to a patio.

Upstairs, the home’s five bedrooms are capped with a master designed with an alcove window seat, although at least two of the other bedrooms contain details that are as compelling: in one, a cathedral ceiling with mirrored pentagonal windows and custom blinds, built-in bookshelves, and a bay window seat; in the other a charming rounded fireplace capped with a niche shelf.

DiCaprio’s upcoming projects include Don’t Look Up, with Jennifer Lawrence, Jonah Hill, Tyler Perry, Ron Perlman, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Cate Blanchett and Meryl Streep, and Killers of the Flower Moon, with Robert De Niro.
