Photos: Orlando Bloom's Hollywood Hills House, Once A 'Bling Ring' Target, Up For Sale
Orlando Bloom and his wife Miranda Kerr are ready to part with their Hollywood Hills house infamous for being hit by the "Bling Ring" in 2009.
The 3,248-square foot four-bedroom, 3.5 bath house has an asking price of $4.5 million. According to Redfin, Bloom bought the home in 2007 for $2.75 million.
Among the string of robberies by the Bling Ring back in 2009, the group targeted Bloom's home in order to get Kerr's underwear, then a Victoria's Secret model. Bloom was offered a cameo role in Sofia Coppola's film "The Bling Ring" in 2012 but turned it down saying that it hit too close to home.
According to the listing on Redfin:
The master suite opens out to the lush pool area complete with swim machine and spa. Meandering gardens complete the scene accompanied by a beautiful loggia for afternoon tea or evening city light views. Security cameras and complete privacy is key to this location. A truly special property.
Bloom and Kerr currently live in New York City where Bloom is making his Broadway debut in "Romeo and Juliet."
