Back in winter 2017, Miranda Otto paid $2.2 million for a Spanish-style home on a prime street in the Beverly Grove/West Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles. Now the Aussie actress—probably best known for her turn as Éowyn in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, and most recently as a cult leader on the Disney+ drama series The Clearing—has decided to part ways with the place she’s owned for a little over six years, having already handed the keys over to the $2.7 million abode after a mere 10 days on the market.
The sale might be due to a little something she revealed on a TV Reload podcast last spring, per the Daily Mail. Having missed spending time Down Under, Otto said she and her actor husband Peter O’Brien would like to return to their home land for a while now that their daughter has finished school in America.
As for her L.A. premises, they were built in the late 1920s and have since been updated. The vine-covered structure has an eye-catching bright red front door and driveway tucked off to the side, and features three bedrooms and a matching number of bathrooms in just over 2,200 square feet of designer-done living space boasting dark hardwood floors, high ceilings, arched doorways, and French windows and doors. There also are indoor/outdoor speakers.
Highlights include a fireside living room and formal dining room, plus a gourmet kitchen outfitted with top-tier Viking appliances and an adjacent breakfast nook/office space. There’s also a master retreat decked out with a fireplace and spacious walk-in closet, as well as a marble-clad bath equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub and glass-encased shower; and outdoors the private and landscaped grounds span less than a quarter-acre, and host a swimming pool nestled alongside an al fresco dining area sporting a built-in barbecue.
A Brisbane native, the 56-year-old veteran film and TV actress comes from a showbiz family that includes her acting parents Barry and Lindsay Otto, and her paternal half-sister Gracie Otto. She began her career at age 18 in various independent and major studio films in Australia, and went on to get her first leading role in Emma’s War. She also has appeared in The Thin Red Line, What Lies Beneath, War of the Worlds, The Starter Wife, The Clearing and Wellmania. But her most well-known role was as Éowyn in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings movie series, based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic fantasy novel of the same name.
