The Los Angeles Times reports that Elijah Wood has sold his Santa Monica home for just under $1.759 million. He reportedly purchased the home from fellow actor Dylan McDermott for $1.45 million in 1999 and originally listed it in August 2011 at $1.85 million.
Wood began his acting career as a child and went on to become star in films including Green Street Hooligans, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. More recently he has taken to television, and stars in the comedy Wilfred. Sources say he is simultaneously filming The Hobbit.
According to the source, the Spanish-style estate offers 2,130 square feet of living space including three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is also a separate guesthouse with an office that is connected to a two-car garage and the foyer floor is made of cast-iron tile.
It has not been reported who will be moving into the home, but Wood will likely remain in Southern California where he is filming.
