Success is not easy to come by in Hollywood; millions of hopefuls try, but only a fraction of a fraction actually succeed. There is no doubt that Shia LaBeouf, 25, star of hit films such as “Transformers”, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, “Eagle Eye” and “Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps”, is breathing in that rarefied air of success that so few will ever get to experience. With such success comes all the perks including the seven-figure salary and the palatial movie star home; not long ago, LaBeouf plunked down $1,825,000 for a 2,463 square foot bachelor pad in Sherman Oaks, California.

Set on over ½ an acre with natural, panoramic, mountain and city views, LaBeouf’s hip 1958 mid-century home features 4 bedrooms including a large master bedroom, 3 bathrooms, a sunken living room, floor to ceiling walls of glass that offer views over the L-shaped swimming pool, an ultra-modern cook’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances as far as the eye can see and a separate office (for reading “Transformer” sequel rewrites, we presume). The sunken living room is actually wrapped in glass, features a fireplace, saltillo tiled floors, and is the perfect pleasure den for LaBeouf to romance his numerous female guests. For that matter, so is the backyard with a plethora of mature, shade giving trees and the aforementioned L-shaped pool from which guests can peer far off into the distance at Encino, Tarzana and even Calabasas. To park his eye-catching automobiles, Labeouf’s home features a stunning, stone-floored private motor court and a two-car carport. It’s hard not to admire LaBeouf for this relatively reasonable home purchase; with all the “Transformers” money that’s been flowing his way, the star could have dropped ten times the dough he spent here on some overblown Beverly hills estate. Instead, the first time home buyer, who reportedly had previously lived with his parents in La Canada, chose this tasteful, sound residence perfect for someone of his age and with his bachelor lifestyle.

With plenty of privacy, awesome views, opportunities to enjoy both the indoors and out, not to mention a plethora of romantic sunsets, there’s no doubt Shia LeBeouf’s home will keep him happy for years to come. Or at least until he decides to flip it.
