Jim Carrey’s name is most often associated with the iconic roles he’s played over the past few decades.
From Stanley Ipkiss in “The Mask,” to “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,” “The Cable Guy,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” and “Bruce Almighty,” Carrey’s name is synonymous with joy and laughter — even though his more serious roles in movies such as “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” earned him critical acclaim.

was the first outlet to report on the property, with Carrey telling the Journal that the home has served as “a place of enchantment and inspiration” for him since he first bought it back in 1994.
He described how “every night, the owls sang me lullabies and every morning I sipped my cup of joe with the hawks and hummingbirds, under a giant grandfather pine.”
The A-list actor and comedian doesn’t spend much time there nowadays, though, and wants someone else to enjoy it. Carrey told the Journal that he’s ready for “Ch-ch-ch-changes!,” as David Bowie once put it.

Inside Jim Carrey’s house
At the time, he paid $3.8 million for the ranch-style property — roughly $7.7 million today. That’s nowhere near the $28.9 million price tag asked for the property, but there’s a reason it’s so pricey.
The 12,704-square-foot home features five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and sits on 2 acres. It’s set behind more than 280 feet of hedged frontage, making it perfect for celebrities looking for peace and quiet.

The light-filled home was built in 1951
It was built in 1951 as a one-story, ranch-style property with loads of privacy. The interiors are open, airy, and flooded with natural light, and the living, dining, and family rooms offer beautiful views and are ideal for small family gatherings or nights spent with friends. There are five fireplaces in the house. Numerous glass doors open to a spacious courtyard patio.

Art deco theater/screening room
Amenities at Carrey’s home include central air, a large gym, a home office, and ensuite secondary bedrooms. The most fascinating room of the house is the art deco theater/screening room, which is decorated with costumes from some of Carrey’s movies.
They include the Santa Claus costume from “The Grinch,” as well as his Riddler costume from “Batman Forever,” among other trophies and memories. Unfortunately, those don’t come with the house.
