Where in the world is…..? Celebrity #2: Kiefer Sutherland, who owns a converted ironworks foundry/warehouse in Los Angeles' Silver Lake district that he now uses as a recording studio (downstairs) and his home (upstairs)
Today’s installment of ‘Where in the world is…..?’ centers around the home of currently jailed actor Kiefer Sutherland, whose residence loyal reader Rob Bander recently queried us on during our recent first installment of ‘Where in the world is…..?‘, which provided details on Kim Kardashian’s housing situation.
As we’re learning, it’s not exactly a secret to many where Kiefer’s home is, since the gate of his home, at 1019 N. Madison Avenue in Silver Lake, was reported by the Ottawa (Canada) Citizen on April 9, 2007 to be a ‘message board’ for Salvadoran and Ukrainian street gangs in his neighborhood. And multiple articles about Sutherland (try googling a few, using ‘Kiefer Sutherland’ and ‘Silver Lake’) describe his unusual decision to live in a tougher area than many of his celebrity compatriots.
So what is Kiefer’s house? It turns out that he lives in a converted ironworks foundry/warehouse in Silver Lake. In 2002, Sutherland paid just $700,000 through his Dave T. Douglas (also sometimes spelled Doglas) Trust to buy the 14,400-square-foot building, which was built in 1928.
Since buying the building, Sutherland has converted its downstairs to a recording studio, known as IronWorks Music, which he co-owns with singer Jude Cole. Upstairs are Kiefer’s living quarters.
Interestingly, Kiefer seldom has ever appeared in celebrity real estate gossip columns, either in print or online. The one time that his real-estate doings did pop up in one such column was in early 2000, when he listed and then sold his 813-acre ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley for about $3.6 million, according to the Los Angeles Times’ Ruth Ryon’s column at that time. Public records confirm the sale, showing that on January 31, 2000, Sutherland’s Dave T. Doglas Trust sold two separate parcels — one 314.08-acre pasture at 8335 Foxen Canyon Road in Santa Maria, Calif. and one 503.94-acre pasture at 7951 Foxen Canyon Road in Santa Maria (so they actually total just over 818 acres) — to the same buyer for an undisclosed amount.
Records show that the divorced Sutherland owns two other Los Angeles-area properties as well: an 1,801-square-foot house in Los Angeles’ Sherman Oaks area that that same trust purchased in early 2004 for $610,000, and a 2,467-square-foot house in Los Angeles’ Toluca Lake area that that same trust purchased in mid-2006 for $1,025,000, according to public records. Kiefer isn’t believed to live in either of those homes, though, and it’s more likely, in fact, that his ex-wife, Kelly Winn, occupies one of those houses.

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.
