"Measuring just under 1,000 square feet in size, the rustic post-and-beam includes an updated kitchen dressed in white subway tile, an open living room, a wood-paneled office and two bedrooms. Walls of glass look out onto an arch-topped balcony centering on the canyon below."
"Thorpe, 33, captured a combined five gold medals at the 2000 and 2004 Olympic games. Nicknamed the "Thorpedo," he is among Australia's most decorated athletes of all time."
Ian Thorpe, the Australian Olympic freestyle swimming champion, has listed his Laurel Canyon home in Hollywood Hills for $950,000. The 1961 hillside residence, under 1,000 square feet, features a rustic post-and-beam design with an updated kitchen, open living room, wood-paneled office, and two bedrooms. The property includes walls of glass opening to an arch-topped balcony, outdoor deck with trellis-topped dining area and wet bar, plus a second viewing deck. Views extend to downtown Los Angeles and the Getty. The home was previously owned by actor John Compton and celebrity publicist Elliot Mintz. Thorpe purchased the property ten years ago for $879,000.
