Torreyson Drive is one of the Hollywood Hills’ most tightly held addresses. The dead-end street sits above the noise of the city, flanked by architecturally significant residences, including a Richard Neutra masterpiece and the double-lot estate once owned by Tom Cruise. Tour buses and through-traffic are virtually nonexistent. It is precisely the kind of location that draws buyers who value invisibility over spectacle. For over a decade, Chris Evans called one of its homes his own. Now, the actor has relisted his 1940s-era residence for $6,395,000, a $600,000 reduction from the original $6.99 million asking price when the property first appeared in May 2025.
The estate is listed by Scott Moore of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California.
A Superhero’s Private Headquarters
Evans purchased the property in 2013 for $3.52 million, two years after his debut as Captain America in Marvel’s ‘The First Avenger.’ Over the following decade and 11 Marvel films, the home served as more than a residence. A detached guest ADU on the property houses its own kitchen, office, and private gym, the space Evans personally outfitted and used to train for his appearances as the iconic superhero. The estate became, in his own words, a place of focus and renewal, a secluded environment calibrated for both physical discipline and creative recharge between productions.
The actor has spoken openly about his attachment to the property, telling Realtor.com that the views were what first drew him in and remain his favorite feature. His decision to sell reflects a new chapter: Evans is relocating to the East Coast with his wife, Alba Baptista, and their daughter, Alma.
Interiors by Stewart-Gulrajani: Architecture Meets Artistry
The split-level residence spans approximately 4,600 square feet with four bedrooms and six bathrooms on a 33,167-square-foot hillside lot. Interiors by design firm Stewart-Gulrajani merge architectural precision with a deliberate sense of calm. Vaulted open-beam ceilings, vast picture windows, and refined finishes infuse each room with air, light, and composure.
The main living spaces revolve around a dramatic fireplace and connect fluidly to a generous dining area with a sleek wet bar. The chef’s kitchen sits beneath natural skylights, anchored by a 60-inch Wolf range beneath a 10-foot custom hood, Sub-Zero refrigeration, dual Thermador dishwashers, a Miele espresso system, and Bianca marble countertops.
The southern wing holds the primary suite, an elevated sanctuary opening to an Ipe-wood deck overlooking the Santa Monica Mountains. The spa-inspired bathroom is clad in limestone and Calacatta marble with radiant heated floors, a steam shower, and a freestanding soaking tub positioned to capture the surrounding landscape.
Grounds That Feel Almost Enchanted
Evans has invested significantly in the exterior spaces during his tenure, transforming the hillside lot into a series of outdoor living environments that shift effortlessly between meditative retreat and entertaining space. Mature coral trees anchor lush gardens and vine-draped terraces. Stone pathways wind through the property, connecting hidden sitting areas, a fire pit conversation zone, and a freeform pool and spa oriented toward cinematic sunsets over Laurel Canyon.
Expertly engineered retaining walls expand the usable hillside footprint, creating a sense of scale and layering that the home’s square footage alone does not convey. A courtyard separates the main residence from the detached guesthouse, adding an additional layer of separation and privacy for visitors.
A Promontory With Rare Reach
The property sits atop a promontory spanning three-quarters of an acre, offering commanding views that stretch from the canyon to the city and, on clear days, toward the ocean. The listing agent describes the likely buyer as a “highly private creative, a celebrity, founder, or high-profile all-cash purchaser seeking true seclusion without leaving Los Angeles.”
At $6,395,000, the asking price positions the home well below the Hollywood Hills’ upper tier while delivering a combination of privacy, celebrity provenance, architectural character, and outdoor scale that competing listings in the range rarely offer. Evans’ 13-year tenure and the property’s association with one of the most commercially successful film franchises in history add a dimension of narrative that transcends the physical asset.
