DiCaprio recently bought the Los Feliz, Los Angeles home of Modern Family star, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, for his mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, for US$7.1 million. Of course, he didn’t forget his dad: a few years ago, he also bought a Los Feliz home for George DiCaprio for US$4.9 million.

Many big Hollywood celebrities face the enviable problem of what exactly to do with their millions, and many have opted for the security of real estate. While some stars have taken their real estate investments out of California due to the high taxes, DiCaprio has the bulk of his properties in the Golden State except for a New York City flat and an island in Belize. He still lives at his two-compound property on Sunset Strip – only a 30-minute drive to his parents in Los Feliz.

Previously owned by Gwen Stefani and then Jesse Tyler Ferguson, the gated, Spanish Colonial-style home is almost 5,000 sq ft with plenty of character and charming outdoor spaces. Comprised of four bedrooms and six bathrooms, the formal living and dining rooms have soaring ceilings and romantic Juliette balconies overlooking each.

Built in 1928 and completely updated, the careful execution of the work retained and enhanced its period details. There are arched doorways, a tiled roof and floors, stained-glass windows, elegant baths, sweeping staircases, an intricately carved entry door and inlaid ceilings. The eat-in kitchen has all the bells and whistles that make it both pretty and functional, and the family room can alternatively be used as a media room with its drop-down screen.

Almost all the rooms open to the attractively landscaped terraces, colourful gardens, courtyards, fountains and views of the Griffith Observatory. There is also a detached bathroom by the pool and spa and a detached Zen meditation yoga room.

Following in the path of other Hollywood A-listers such as Scarlett Johansson, Kurt Russell, Keanu Reeves, Anne Hathaway, Ben Affleck and more, DiCaprio has also made a film for Netflix, Don’t Look Up, which will be released sometime in late 2021.
