Rebel Wilson is putting her West Hollywood ‘office house’ on the market
The ‘Pitch Perfect’ star is asking $US4.15m for the property, which she used for meetings and making social-media content.
Actress Rebel Wilson is asking $US4.15m for the West Hollywood, California, home she calls her Office House.
The “Bridesmaids” actress, who lives about 5 miles north in the Hollywood Hills, used the five-bedroom, roughly 4,400-square-foot Los Angeles home to hold meetings and film social-media content.
“I love real estate, so I thought, ‘If I need an office, I’ll make it an investment,’” said Wilson, 44. She paid $US2.95m for the house in 2016.
Now, she is “downsizing” to a smaller office space because she is spending more time at home with her one-year-old daughter, Royce, and her fiancée, clothing-brand founder Ramona Agruma. She plans to buy a smaller “office house” or choose a conventional office space because “it’s better to streamline,” she said. “But it’s sad, because it’s such a good house.”
Built in 2015, the traditional-style Office House has a saltwater swimming pool and hot tub. The gated, roughly 0.15-acre lot also has a covered deck and an outdoor fireplace, said listing agent Tracy Tutor of Douglas Elliman. Wilson converted the garage into a gym with a pink-neon sign that reads “Rebel Gym,” she said. Inside the house, Wilson filled the foyer’s built-in wine storage with awards she has won; “I’m not a big drinker,” she said.
Seating and dining areas decorated with movie posters served as meeting spaces where Wilson, who is also a writer and producer, said she brainstormed with development teams to create movies including the 2019 film “The Hustle” with Anne Hathaway and the 2022 movie “Senior Year”.
The Australian actress wrote much of her autobiography “Rebel Rising” in her private office, she said. The room has a glass case that holds her navy blue skirt suit from “Pitch Perfect.” She also displays pop art and memorabilia from her movies, including a “Cats” clapperboard signed by co-stars Ian McKellen and Taylor Swift.
The home also served as a guesthouse for out-of-town family and friends, she said.
Wilson, who paid $US2.2m for her Hollywood Hills house in 2014, is also putting her Sydney penthouse up for auction later this month. The apartment is an investment property, but Wilson stayed in it while renovating her home in Sydney, she said. Wilson, who is writing, directing and starring in the upcoming musical movie “The Deb,” also has homes in London and New York City.
In the first quarter, Los Angeles single-family homes sold for a median of about $US2.995m, down 10.1 per cent from the same time in 2023, according to Douglas Elliman, while sales slowed 20.3 per cent during the same period.
