‘Captain America’ Star Chris Evans Puts L.A. Home on the Market for $7 Million as He Quits California To Move Back to East Coast

“Captain America” star Chris Evans is bidding farewell to his longtime Los Angeles home as he prepares to trade California living for a life on the East Coast in order to be closer to his family.

The 43-year-old “Avengers” icon—who married Alba Baptista in 2023—has listed his four-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom dwelling for $6.99 million, almost double the $3.52 million he paid for it back in 2013.

According to listing agent Scott Moore, of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California, Evans, who hails from Massachusetts, has chosen to part ways with the 1940s-era property because he wants to relocate back to the East Coast so he can live near his family members.

“After over a decade of amazing memories in his L.A. home, Chris is planning to move to the East Coast to be closer to family,” Moore said in a statement to People.

In addition to an open floor plan, the property offers sweeping views of the Santa Monica Mountains and Mulholland and Laurel Canyons, which the actor told the Wall Street Journal are what first drew him to the “stunning and inspiring” abode.

He added, “A lot of personal touches went on inside to home to embrace the views and bring warmth. On the outside, I have extended the backyard, brought in a lot of complementary landscaping that has enhanced the beauty of the view and made the yard into an entertainer’s paradise.”

On the outside of the home, Evans has added two patio chairs that overlook the mountains and California’s gorgeous skyline and the abode’s large pool.

Upon entering the home, guests are greeted with an expansive living area that comes complete with a large TV, a cozy fireplace, comfortable white lounge chairs, and a piano.

Moore revealed that some of the furniture inside the home are negotiable within the sale, giving fans a chance to own some of the actor’s favorite things.

“Inside, sophisticated interiors by Stewart-Gulrajani merge architectural elements with contemporary style,” the listing notes.

“Dramatic vaulted open-beamed ceilings, expansive picture windows, and refined finishes define generous living spaces, from the grand fireplace-centered living room to the spacious dining area complete with a sleek wet bar.

“Thoughtfully engineered to enhance both form and function, the home showcases expertly crafted retaining walls that maximize the usable pad area of this hillside estate, reflecting a meticulous attention to detail and a true mastery of design.”

Adjacent to the living area, there is a dining room with a large table.

The chef’s kitchen boasts a large overhead fan, a marble island, wooden cabinets, and state-of-the-art appliances.

“At the home’s heart is a gourmet kitchen, illuminated naturally by skylights and appointed with commercial-grade appliances, including a 60-inch Wolf range with 10-foot custom hood, Sub-Zero refrigeration, dual Thermador dishwashers, a sizable wine fridge, custom cabinetry with Bianca Marble countertops, and a built-in Miele coffee maker,” the listing adds.

The master bedroom boasts multiple glass French doors that open up to a charming patio area.

The bathroom features a double vanity, a soaking tub, and a large glass shower.

The private gym is located in the home’s dwelling unit, which comes complete with a bedroom and kitchen.

The home offers superfans the chance to own an “iconic celebrity estate” that “embodies the spirit of Hollywood Hills’ most legendary neighborhoods.”

Evans purchased the home two years after he made his debut as the legendary Marvel character, Captain America, and he is understood to have used the gym inside the dwelling to remain in tip top shape as he continued his on-screen appearances as the superhero over the next 10 years.

During that time, the actor has appeared in 11 Marvel movies, before handing over the character’s iconic shield to his successor, Anthony Mackie, at the start of 2025.

In 2023, Evans explained his decision to walk away from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, saying that he would “never say never” about returning to the franchise, but that he ultimately stepped down as Captain America out of a desire to spend less time focusing on his on-screen work.

“I’ll never say never, just because it was such a wonderful experience,” he told GQ. “But I’m also very precious with it. It’s something that I am very proud of. And like I said, sometimes I can’t believe it even happened.

“And I wouldn’t want the black eye if it felt like a cash grab or if it didn’t live up to expectations or if it just felt like it wasn’t connected to that original thing. So, no time soon. And ultimately I really hope to just maybe act a little bit less in my life.”
