I am a couple of months late on this one but the fine folks at Trulia Luxe Living first reported the dual home sales of actor Jensen Ackles back on May 7, 2013.
Jensen Ackles is widely known for playing "Dean Winchester" on Supernatural and "Eric Brady" on Days of our Lives from 1998 - 2002.
The first home Ackles sold was in Studio City (shown above and located next door to the mid century streamline modern Lydecker Hilltop House HCM# 918) and was apparently sold under the radar as there are no listing descriptions or pictures available that I can find. The home measures 2 Beds/2 Baths on 1,414 sqft on a total lot size of 5,337 sqft built in 1964. This home was last purchased on August 22, 2003 for $645,000 and sold at a gain of $55,000 for $700,000 on February 15, 2013. This final sale price may have been sold at a small loss or breakeven depending on how much Ackles has spent on the property considering that a 6% commission for closing costs is $42,000.

The second home is located in Brentwood (shown above) which was listed on the MLS with an abundance of photos and property description. This home measures 3 Beds/3.5 Baths on 3,554 sqft on a total lot size of 0.29 acres built in 1947. This home was last purchased on September 25, 2009 for $2,435,000 and sold for $3 million on March 20, 2013 representing a gain of $565,000. Ackles originally listed this home for $3,495,000 on July 3, 2012 which was reduced to $3 million for the final sales price. The listing description states:
REDUCED $200,000. Seller has found another home. Submit all offers! Dazzling compound, recently renovated with exquisite details throughout. Excellent location; close to village. Estate is surrounded by walls and mature landscaping, providing the ultimate privacy and security. The main house has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths and has been elegantly updated with the finest touches. Soaring ceilings, formal living room with custom library loft. Large, professional chef's kitchen invites all to experience California's relaxed lifestyle. Outdoor area is an expansive and gorgeous oasis. Sparkling pool and spa; outdoor stainless kitchen, sprawling grassy yard with professional "Farmscape" garden and an array of assorted fruit trees. Property includes a beautifully renovated 900+ sq ft, 2-story guesthouse, with separate gated entrance. Current owners have spared no expense seeking perfection and have created the ultimate family home and entertainer's paradise. See Agent for Exclusions!!!
Ackles' new home location or the reason for the above mentioned sales but could be related to the fact that he just became a new father on May 30, 2013 to a daugther, Justice Jay "JJ" Ackles. Typically, when there is a newborn, that means there is a newer bigger house to accommodate the expanding family. Only time will tell on the new whereabouts.
