Amanda Seyfried has placed her traditional Los Angeles estate on the market for $3.195 million. The actress intends to permanently move with her family to her farm in Upstate New York. The star of the films “Mean Girls”, “Mamma Mia!” and “The Housemaid” acquired the residence, built in 1916, in 2011 from her “Jennifer’s Body” co-star Adam Brody for $1.85 million, holding the property for approximately 15 years.
During her ownership, Seyfried largely preserved the original character of the early 20th-century house. At the same time, however, she integrated modernisations to make the 110-year-old property more functional for contemporary living.

The interior of the house welcomes visitors through the front door into a traditional living room, where a grey sofa faces a matching pair of armchairs. Wide openings on either side of a fireplace on the back wall lead into the next room, creating an open-plan layout. A few steps away, another large opening connects to the dining room, which features curved built-in cabinets at the ends and a long wooden table beneath a round chandelier.
From the dining room, a small door leads into a long, narrow galley-style kitchen. This is equipped with blue cabinets, white worktops, and dark wood floors. A professional range and a stainless steel refrigerator are on one side, while a farmhouse sink is on the other side beneath windows overlooking the garden. The conservatory, enveloped in windows and vintage floral wallpaper, offers views from almost every side of the house. The central area serves as an informal dining space with a round table under a pendant light.
Reasons for the Sale
Amanda Seyfried is selling this Los Angeles home as her family is making their 1930s farm in Upstate New York their primary residence. The farm, which she acquired in 2013, has, according to her, provided a calmer environment that has helped alleviate her anxiety and OCD symptoms. The actress enjoys spending more time in the peaceful surroundings of the New York property, caring for her rescued animals, and making the most of quiet weekend mornings with her family.
Despite her desire to part with this home, the tall trees that create privacy, the separate area for sports or creative work, and the historical roots give the property the potential to become a safe retreat for someone else.
