Robert Downey Jr., the "Iron man" actor has reportedly dropped $2.5 million on a contemporary home in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
The Real Estalker broke news of the splurge and is reporting that the residence is located in the Huntington neighborhood of the area. The neighborhood is expensive but low profile.
Pardee Properties held the listing of the 9,300-square-foot home. The modern residence is comprised of four bedrooms and two bathrooms and offers extreme privacy.
While Robert Downey Jr.'s new residence is no "Stark Mansion", it definitely emits a warm, cozy vibe -making for a perfect family abode.
The residence had hardwood flooring, drywall ceilings and large glass windows and wooden doors. The home also has an open-concept living room and a modern kitchen. Outside, there is a detached two-car garage and a swimming pool.
The listing described the home as, "light infused home with a sparkling pool in the Huntington Palisades. Seconds to the Village, Palisades park & Tennis Center, this elegant home is perfect for a young family!"
Robert Downey Jr. has several properties in California. His current primary residence is his Malibu home where he and his wife welcomed their baby boy, Exton, in February 2012. He also owns another home in the Rustic Canyons area, which is located between the palisades and Santa Monica. He also reportedly owns two properties in the Venice Beach area and a posh residence in The Hill area of Manhattan Beach.
Last year, Robert Downey Jr. sold his Hollywood Hills estate, the one that was originally built for the legendary Charlie Chaplin, for $1.75 million.
Bonus fact: RDJ buried the clothes he wore in "Less Than Zero" (he played a rich college kid addicted to drugs much like his personal life) in the backyard of the house as a symbol of detaching with his past.
"The next day I was, like: 'F*ck, why did I do that?' But four days later, I felt something drift away. (The burial) represents acknowledging how a lack of self-nurturing leads to gruesome results. It's one thing to see the train coming, and another to get out of the way," he told GQ in a 1993 interview.
