Now Engaged, Orlando Bloom Puts Beverly Hills Bachelor Pad Up for Sale

Now that Orlando Bloom has finished remodeling his swanky Beverly Hills, CA, bachelor pad to perfection, he’s put it on the market for $9 million. The actor paid $7 million for the place in 2017.

It’s speculated that Bloom’s recent engagement to pop icon Katy Perry has rendered this bachelor pad superfluous. Both celebrities have numerous other residential properties in their portfolios.

“It’s located on the best street in Trousdale,” says listing agent Jason Oppenheim of the Oppenheim Group. Trousdale Estates is a star-studded neighborhood where Beverly Hills meets the Bird Streets, a posh area receiving exposure in Oppenheim’s new Netflix reality show, “Selling Sunset.”

Described as a “minimalist pavilion,” the home was originally built in 1959. Mexican architect Miguel Angel Aragonés, who sold the home to Bloom, had expanded and enhanced the home’s midcentury modern architecture.

The 4,011-square-foot, single-story home has four bedrooms and four baths. It sits on a hillside overlooking the city and the ocean. A mature hedge out front provides privacy.

Bloom “made it perfect,” says Oppenheim, who also represented the actor in the purchase of the property. referring to the renovations Bloom spent a year-and-a-half working on.

Bloom’s renovations included a new, zero-edge pool with an ipe wood deck. The outdoor area features bulit-in seating and a fire pit, and can be accessed via floor-to-ceiling sliders from several rooms in the house.

Bloom also opened up the floor plan, expanding the kitchen and allowing in more natural light. He added bespoke Poliform fixtures and finishes as well as indoor LED lighting.

The master suite also had some work done. It opens out to the pool and has generous closet space. The new master bath has a wet room with a free-standing tub and shower. There’s a private patio right outside the floor-to ceiling windows.

One of the home’s more fascinating features is a sunken conversation pit lined with sumptuous sofas in the living room.

Bloom, 42, played the elf Legolas in “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” film series and Will Turner in several “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. Next up for him is director Rod Lurie‘s “The Outpost,” which is in postproduction.
