Jim Carrey sells mansion for $16 million discount

After nearly two gruelling years, the actor has finally found a buyer for his Los Angeles home. 

Carrey first listed his five-bedroom Brentwood house for sale in February 2023 with a hefty price tag of $US28.9 million ($AU47.8 million). 

The Hollywood actor – who is known for roles in Dumb and Dumber, The Mask, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas – originally bought the house for just $US3.8 million in the 1990s. 

The house has finally gone into contract after 22 months on the market, Mansion Global reports. 

It was most recently listed for $US19.75 million ($AU31.7 million) – substantially lower than Carrey’s initial asking price. 

The property sits on two acres of private land in the affluent Los Angeles neighbourhood of Brentwood. 

The five-bedroom, nine-bathroom home was first built in 1951 in the California ranch style. 

Inside, the house has high vaulted ceilings and polished brick and hardwood floors. Tall floor-to-ceiling windows, French doors and skylights let in plenty of natural light. 

Tiled vintage fireplaces are a feature of many of the rooms, including a swanky dark timber bathroom. 

The home also comes with an art deco-style cinema with mohair fabric walls and a popcorn room. 

Outside, there is a tennis court, infrared sauna, steam room, waterfall pool, spa, and a private yoga studio. 

There is also a separate guesthouse that could be turned into a gym. 

The home is listed with Janelle Friedman and Graham J. Larson of Sotheby’s International Realty.
