Haute Estates: Elijah Wood Lists Charming Santa Monica Home

For a cool 1.85 million, you can call Lord of the Rings alum Elijah Wood’s Santa Monica house, home. An 18-year-old Wood purchased the two-story, 2,130 square foot Spanish-style home in 1999 for $1.45 million. The main house, a charming, modest space, briefly occupied by Mama and Papa Wood boasts 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms while the guest cottage includes an additional bedroom, bath, office space and two-car garage.

Back in the main house, a cast iron tiled entry foyer leads buyers into a formal living room with barrel-vaulted ceilings, an over-sized picture window, and wood-burning fireplace. Rich hardwood floors in the living room extend into the formal dining room and first floor bedroom/den featuring a second fireplace and French doors leading to a lush, trellis-covered terrace. The second floor hosts two bedrooms, also with hardwood floors, gorgeous tree top views and a single, shared bathroom.

The kitchen features vintage cabinetry with glass-fronted uppers, a multi-colored tile back splash, butcher block counter tops and a six-burner Wolf brand range. A wide archway connects the kitchen to a small breakfast nook with built in china cabinetry.
