Orlando Bloom Lists Hollywood Hills Home For Lease

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

As Orlando Bloom prepares for the arrival of his new baby with Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr it seems that they won't be welcoming the new child in his Hollywood Hills home. The LA Times reports that Bloom bought in 2007 for $2.75 million and now the home, which is in a gated Hollywood Hills community, is listed for lease at $18,000 a month.

The four-bedroom house has more than 3,200 square feet of living space on a lot of three-quarters of an acre that includes a pool, pro swim machine and spa and a large motor court. Walnut doors open into the one-story home. Listing pictures mostly show the outside spaces including the grounds and the home's black exterior but the kitchen which the listing dubs "unique & so hip" has a fireplace. This is the home that was robbed back in 2009 when thieves made off with a reported $500,000 in goods. Bloom was not home at the time. Perhaps Blooms is in the mood for a little more privacy. Recently photographers dogged him as he went was riding his motorcycle in the Hollywood Hills, provoking him to get in a photographer's face. The listing for the home is with Venessa Blair of Coldwell Banker, Beverly Hills East office.

Now that she's married and expecting Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr is leaving her single-girl residence behind. The Wall Street Journal reports that Kerr has put her one-bedroom condo in the Jade Building in New York's Flatiron District on the market for $1.395 million (listed with Jaf Glazer of Conquest Advisors). Kerr married actor Orlando Bloom earlier this year and the pair are living in Los Angeles (in a four-bedroom home he bought in 2007 for $2.75 million). The Jade apartment is a corner unit on the tenth floor. It has floor-to-ceiling windows and two Juliet balconies.

The Jade is named for Jade Jagger, who helped design the project. Kerr's loft-style 904-square-foot condo has a pod-like free-standing cube in the center of the apartment that holds a small kitchen area and the bathroom. The cube has an oversized shower with a glass wall facing the middle of the 26-foot-wide living room. The WSJ reports that Kerr signed a contract to purchase the apartment for just under $1.1 million in 2006. Amenities for the building include two floors of shared terraced space with a reflecting pool and soaking tubs, a fitness room and a Moroccan-themed lounge.

Actor Orlando Bloom has become the latest celebrity burglary victim. His Hollywood Hills home was recently broken into and the LA Times is reporting that thieves walked away with around $500,000 in jewelry, cash and artwork. Bloom is out of town but a relative discovered the break-in on Wednesday. Bloom is far from the first star to be the victim of a house robbery. Thieves absconded with around $2 million in jewelry from Paris Hilton's home last year.

Three amazing Rolex watches from the collection of actor Orlando Bloom are included in Antiquorum's Important Collectors' Wristwatches auction in New York on June 11. Our favorite is this fine and rare 1973 Explorer II "Steve McQueen" model, highly prized by Rolex aficionados, which Bloom wore on a leather cuff bracelet, estimated at $10,000 - $15,000, though we expect it to fetch considerably more. There's also a black PVD-coated steel Milgauss anti-magnetic chronometer produced in 2008, estimated at $10,000 - $15,000, and a cool 1969 Explorer, estimated at only $3,000 - $4,000. All of Bloom's watches come accompanied by an autographed copy of the auction catalog, and he is donating part of the proceeds to UNICEF.
