Orlando Bloom Painted This L.A. Mansion Black. Now It Can Be Yours for $5 Million.
A decade after actor Orlando Bloom sold his home in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles for nearly $4 million, the Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean star’s notorious black-painted residence has once again surfaced for sale. Fully transformed on the inside—but still retaining that dark-hued fa?ade that reportedly annoyed neighbors at the time and has since become rather trendy—the ranch-style abode is now on the market for a speck under $5 million. The listing is held by Claire and Sam O’Connor of Berkshire Hathaway.
Records show Bloom and his ex-wife Miranda Kerr paid almost $2.8 million for the house in 2007. The couple—who were burglarized at this same spot around two years later by the film-immortalized teen Bling Ring crew—wound up selling the home in 2014 to an unknown buyer before it ultimately went to former Hulu executive and BlueView Real Estate founder Jeff Martin through foreclosure in 2022 for $3.1 million.

Tucked away behind gates amid a double parcel spanning three-quarters of an acre in the Outpost Estates enclave that weaves into the foothills above Hollywood, the wood-sided and blue-shingle-roof structure was originally built in the 1940s. Extensively remodeled during Martin’s ownership by BlueView Real Estate, the premises feature four bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 3,300 square feet of stylish Francesca Grace-staged living space boasting white oak floors and high wood-beam ceilings throughout, plus doors in every room opening to the outside.
Among the highlights is a window-lined living room sporting a striking veined-marble fireplace and a door spilling out to a patio that’s ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining. A wainscoted dining room links via a hallway to the sky-lit kitchen, which is outfitted with custom cabinetry, an eat-in island, top-tier stainless appliances, and a cozy fireside seating alcove.
Elsewhere is an office space with yet another fireplace and a primary suite that comes complete with a wood-fluted accent wall, a built-in window seat, a walk-in closet, and a luxe bath flaunting dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a large rainfall shower. Outdoors, the terraced grounds are showcased by a waterfall-fed pool and spa encased within a brick-clad sundeck and steps leading up to a lofty pergola-shaded seating area overlooking the city lights.
Also holding court on the property, per Mansion Global, is a bedroom that feels separate from the home and can be used as a recording studio, a fitness room, or an office, along with a lengthy driveway that empties out at a spacious motorcourt flanked by an attached two-car garage.
