Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux’s Cozy Rental House


by HOOKEDONHOUSES on SEPTEMBER 8, 2011

Remember when Jennifer Aniston sold her 10,000 square-foot Mid-Century Modern in Beverly Hills for $38 million earlier this year, saying she wanted to live in something cozier? Looks like she meant it.

First she bought two apartments in NYC to convert into a 2,700 square-foot duplex. Then she fell in love with actor Justin Theroux, and the couple rented this 2-bedroom house in the Hollywood Hills. I love that she’s living in 1,700 square feet when she could afford 17,000.

Any fans of the NBC sitcom “Parks and Recreation” out there? It took me a while to warm up to the show, but now I never miss an episode. Justin Theroux had a funny role as Amy Pohler’s too-good-to-be-true love interest in the second season.

He was so clean-cut and businesslike on that show that I didn’t realize that was the guy she was dating at first. I was all, like, “Jen! Why didn’t you tell me he was on Parks & Rec? I thought you were dating some random bearded dude on a motorcycle!” When he shaved his beard recently, I finally recognized him.

They didn’t want to buy a place right away, Us Weekly reports, so they’re renting this fully-furnished, $3 million house for (gulp) $17,500 a month. Apparently they got a deal–it used to be $20 grand. Once again, I note how glad I am to live in one of the fly-over states where you could lease a lovely house like this for under $2,000.

The house is reportedly owned by a film location scout, which may be why it’s so easy to imagine a movie being filmed here. A rom-com, most likely.

The kitchen has kind of an odd, triangular shape to it.

Those top shelves look way high. I’d never be able to reach them!

The guest bedroom:

Love all the vaulted ceilings in the house, and the french doors in the master bedroom:

There’s a garage on the property that was converted into additional living space, too:

Meg Ryan’s Spanish-Style Home in Bel Air

Meg Ryan’s Spanish-style mansion in Bel Air, California, is on the market for $14.2 million. It has 6 bedrooms, 7 baths, and over 6,800 square feet. It sits on nearly three-quarters of an acre and boasts high-profile neighbors like Tom Ford nearby (whose chic London townhouse I showed you here).

Ryan purchased the house in 2000 for around $8.5 million.

I’d love to get a better look at this kitchen. She seems to have a lot of framed artwork in there.

This house reminds me of Diane Keaton’s Spanish Colonial I showed you here, but Keaton’s is more colorful. You can find more photos and information about Ryan’s house at The Real Estalker.

I think I associate Meg Ryan with interesting houses because of the movies she’s been in. For example, there was Sleepless in Seattle, where she had that adorable place with pink kitchen cabinets and vintage decor:

Her much-loved brownstone in You’ve Got Mail:

And the red-brick house she had in the movie I wrote about yesterday, The Women:

I even liked her apartment in When Harry Met Sally. Remember that one? Do you have a favorite “Meg Ryan house’?
