Where in the world is…..? Celebrity #8: Hilary Duff, who owns two houses in Los Angeles’ Toluca Lake neighborhood, which she purchased for $3,500,000 in 2004 and $1,650,000 in 2006
Today’s installment of “Where in the world is….?” involves 20-year-old singer and actress Hilary Duff, who owns two houses that are just a few doors away from one another in Los Angeles’ Toluca Lake neighborhood. 
We’ve written many times about L.A.’s celebrity-heavy Toluca Lake precinct, including in April 2007, when we provided a roll call of many of its well-known residents. Unfortunately, that list unfortunately omitted two critical longtime Tolucans: 1) Kirsten Dunst, whom we wrote about on April 16 (and who now lives in the Hollywood Hills but still owns a house in Toluca Lake); and 2) Duff, who for whatever reason never has appeared in any celebrity real estate gossip column or blog mention—that is, until now. Duff’s first house in Toluca Lake is a five-bedroom, 8,827-square-foot house that was built in 1951 and that her Casa de Sueno Trust quietly purchased in 2004 for $3,500,000, according to public records. The house, which sits on an oversized 0.45-acre lot bordering the actual six-acre Toluca Lake itself, is right next door to a 5,632-square-foot house that comedian Damon Wayans had owned from 2001 until 2006. (Just two doors east of the former Wayans house is Dunst’s family home, which she purchased. In February 2006, Duff expanded her holdings in Toluca Lake, quietly paying $1,650,000 through her Casa de Sueno Trust (translated: House of Dreams) for a 2,420-square-foot house that is less than half a block away from her current house. In fact, it appears that Duff purchased that house from a celebrity, since the seller was something called the Toluca Lake Avenue Trust. (And, if we were the betting sort, we’d say that the seller of the house might well have been actress Jennifer Love Hewitt.) In any case, in the May 2008 issue of Allure magazine, Duff acknowledges that she and her sister live in one of the houses in Toluca Lake (the smaller one, we presume), but Hilary added that she often crashes at the house that her mother occupies (which we assume is the much larger one, on the lake).

Hello Miss Mol
I choose Hollywood films to Bollywood films
Hello,
It has been reported that Orlando Bloom only has two homes (London, England and Los Angeles, California-USA). His home in the Brentwood Section of Los Angeles (O.J. Simpson use to live in the same neighborhood) is currently up for rent (asking price $18,000.00 per month) and the house number is 2227. I do not know the street , but I think that he spends most of his time in London, England because that was his first home and Bloom had a lot or remodeling done to it. Besides his mother and sister both resides in the London area. I think that he only brought a home in the U.S. was because he was working on a long movie here and other people had told him that New York and Hollywood are the places to be.Sounds like he regretted paying for a pricely house filled with ivys hanging everywhere outside in Los Angeles and now has it up for rent. The house is white cement or some kind of brick. I have seen pictures with his wife (don’t think this marriage will last because she was 2 months pregnant when he proposed to her and they jumped the broom the following month) pulling up the friveway alone. They apear to working very hard to poise for the cameras ans prove how happy they are, but didn’t Orlando do the same with all the others?
Correction,
What I saw was a video of his wife pullling up in her car alone and getting out of the car. I saw the house number on this video and I think that the video is on youtubes or some other website. Hope this helps.
