Joss Whedon sells his 4,064-square-foot house in Los Angeles" Brentwood area for $2.47M

TV show creator, writer and executive producer Joss Whedon has recently sold his house at 1000 Amherst Avenue in Brentwood. The house had been listed for sale in 2008 for a price of around $3.65 million. It has been sold for around $2.47 million. Whedon has not really had as good a sale as he had hoped for because the price is much lower than expected.

It boasts of 4 bedrooms as well as an area of 4,064 square foot. This house has quite the trappings of luxury and opulence that you might expect from such an expensive house. Apart from 5 bathrooms, there are two in-house offices and even a media room. Joss, being a media celebrity and acclaimed director, had also built a music studio in the house.

Don't tell me you haven't heard of Joss Whedon! If not the guy himself, you must have heard of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' of which Joss happens to be the creator. He is quite a well-acclaimed writer and also an executive producer of shows in the hugely popular science fiction genre. He is also highly versatile, having been an occasional actor and head writer of shows like Firefly, Dollhouse, Angel as well as the iconic Buffy. What's more, Joss is also credited with a number of comic book series and film scripts.

Something may have been going wrong with the guy's financials; why else would he sell such a beautiful house? He seems to have had every plan of living in the place. As I said, he had built himself a music studio in there. Among some of the other features of the house is a family room-cum kitchen with accordion doors that connect to the outside. The estate also has 0.33 acres of wonderfully landscaped park-like grounds. It had been bought by Whedon and his wife in 1993 for $495,000. The house has carpeting as well as hardwood floors in some areas. As far as equipment goes, there is garbage disposal, TV satellite dish and refrigerator. There are a couple of fireplaces in the house with central furnace heating. There is a good security system, an open patio and a guesthouse thrown in for good measure. It is no wonder that at this price, such things would be commonplace; what's surprising is that the property does not have any swimming pool at all.

Apart from 100 Amherst, Whedon has a rather small 600 square foot house in Santa Monica. This house is rather steeply priced at $850,000 and is located in a very small 0.03 acre area. Apart from this he has also bought a 0.2 acre plot which is currently vacant. This lot is located on La Mesa Drive which he had bought in 2004 as a part of a partnership. There used to be an over 3600 square foot house at the spot, but it has been pulled down since.
