Shia LaBeouf was only ten years old when he began his career by performing stand-up comedy routines in clubs around Los Angeles. He started his career in the Disney show Even Stevens and even won a Daytime Emmy for his performance. While he received critical and commercial acclaim for many roles, it wasn’t until he starred in Transformers in 2007 that he became an A-list figure in Hollywood. With his hefty paychecks from the film series and various roles, LaBeouf has amassed a $25 million fortune that he spends on modest expenses. He does not like to live in a flash, but he did purchase a gorgeous Pasadena home for his young family in 2020 for $5.475 million.
Built from the ground up before the actor purchased it, the Mediterranean-style home is a gorgeous retreat located in a posh neighborhood and offers scenic views of California. Created with graceful design and modern amenities, let’s look inside Shia LeBeouf’s $5.475 million Pasadena home.
The home purchased by Shia LaBeouf is a brand new estate with the actor being the first resident. The actor’s new digs sit on a one-third acre of land with a 4,100 sq. of the primary home. The property was purchased in 2016 for $1.28 million. The structure on the site was demolished before Premier General Contractors constructed the house and put it on the market for $6.2 million, as stated by Realtor. The listing price dropped to $5.79 under William Podley and Jenny Stanley, realtors at Deasy Penner Podley, and the pricing was negotiated to $5.475 million before LaBeouf purchased it.
The quaint and traditional home is three floors high, with every story serving a different purpose that can be accessed via a service elevator and a staircase. The home area is surrounded by mature Oak trees and sycamores that offer privacy and seclusion from the neighbors around. Featuring four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, the horseshoe driveway at the entrance leads to the porch of the Italian-inspired home. As noted by the LA Times, a large tile-accented fountain catches the eye alongside the two-car garage and a terrace.
Every area of the home features hardwood floors and glass doors. The arched windows and well-wrought ironwork offer an idea regarding the revival-style architecture from the early 20th century. The Living Room has a carved stone fireplace and beamed ceilings, while the arched glass door leads to the backyard. Adjacent to the room is a formal dining area with glass sliders. As mentioned by Architectural Digest, the kitchen is a gourmet dream with a large island, polished wood top, white cabinetry, and patterned tile backsplash. The chef’s pantry and the wet bar are central points for the living room, dining area, kitchen, breakfast nook, and the family room.
The Family Room has the usual decor of comfortable couches and armchairs with a fireplace in the corner of the room, located by the glass door that leads outside. The second floor of the house is the sleeping space as it features the Master Suite, three en-suite guest bedrooms, and the laundry room. The Master Suite has a Juliet balcony, glass-fronted shower, deep soak bathtub, and a spacious walk-in closet with ample space for clothes. Each room on the second floor is rewarded with a view of the orange California sunsets and trees drenching the outdoors in sunlight.
One of the home's best features is the spacious 2,000 sq. ft. of sunken terrace that can be accessed from the living and dining rooms. According to Dirt, the backyard has an outdoor grilling/kitchen area with built-in banquet sitting to enjoy sunny days by the barbecue. Alongside the dining area, there is ample space to hold an intimate dinner party for family and friends. Every inch of the backyard is covered in mature trees and thick foliage to ensure complete privacy from every direction. While the home has every amenity possible for the $5.475 million price range, it does not feature a swimming pool. However, there is enough space to build one.
Pasadena has been a celebrity hot spot for many decades, dating back to when Julia Child lived in the same neighborhood. Today, the area is home to various celebrities, including Meryl Streep and Kristen Wiig, who have purchased lands in the area. Shia LeBeouf is a direct neighbor to Avengers Endgame director Anthony Russo who resides there with his family.
Shia LaBeouf is not a big spender on real estate purchases and previously owned only one home in Sherman Oaks, a three-bedroom, four-bathroom 1950s-style property that he purchased for $1.825 million and listed at $2.25 million in 2020. LaBeouf, who enjoys his time in the neighborhood, is often spotted running errands with his girlfriend Mia Goth and their child.
