Chris Evans transformed his 1940 Hollywood Hills home: Inside the actor’s private retreat before he sold it for $5.4 million
He sold his 1940s house for just over $5.3 million in late August, according to sales records. It’s a tidy sum, though not quite what he’d originally hoped for when he listed it close to $7 million after buying it for $3.52 million back in 2013. He listed the property in May 2025 for nearly $7 million, didn’t get the offer he wanted, and dropped the price over time.
Yet, instead of screaming “look at me!” the interior design is understated with lots of neutrals, natural finishes, and light everywhere. For Chris Evans, his Hollywood Hills home wasn’t just another celebrity mansion. For more than a decade, this place was his escape: a quiet spot to train for Marvel blockbusters and unwind away from the glare. Now, Evans has closed that chapter. Those vistas were a big draw, and Evans has mentioned that they’re one of the reasons he fell for the house. Inside, there’s a blend of mid-century style with California luxury: high ceilings, massive windows, terraces, and an open concept that really lets the outdoors in. The main house has four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a living room anchored by a fireplace, which is perfect for LA’s rare chilly nights. There’s a dining area with a wet bar and a top-notch kitchen filled with all the appliances any home cook could ask for. The primary bedroom boasts pure privacy, with its own deck. The ensuite bathroom wouldn’t look out of place in a spa, complete with a soaking tub and a steam shower. The hilltop setting is always part of the view. Out in back, garden paths and stone terraces wind down to a pool and spa area, along with a fire pit lounge for casual evenings with friends. It wasn’t about the house, really. After more than ten years in Los Angeles, Evans just wanted to be closer to home. When it finally sold, the closing price was about a million dollars below the original ask. So, the home changes hands, and Evans moves on. For the new owners: a pool, a gym, canyon views, and all the privacy you could want in LA. For Marvel fans, though, there’s an extra bit of magic to the place: after all, it’s where Chris Evans became Captain America and where, for a decade, one of Hollywood’s best-known faces found peace and privacy just above the city hustle. The house is quieter now, but it’s seen its share of superhero moments.
