Elijah Wood, better known as "Frodo Baggins" of "The Lord of the Rings" franchise, has reportedly purchased a home in Austin, Texas, for around $1.07 million, according to several media reports.
The Wilfred star was apparently looking for homes in Texas for quite some time before he finally decided to settle down on this home. According to the Daily Mail, he purchased the residence sometime back in December 2012 and managed to keep the buy a hush-hush matter until now.
Listing records of the home state that the house is a Victorian-style 3,285 square feet single family residence comprising of four bedrooms, four full and one half bathroom, three living rooms and a large 1,100 square feet porch that offers beautiful views of the sunset. The two- story home is nothing like the hobbit's shack but definitely exudes a similar charm.
