Celebrity Real Estate: 'Hunger Games' star, Oprah, DiCaprio deal Josh Hutcherson's new home features several private decks. Celebrity real estate heated up this week with some big real estate moves by some big names. Josh Hutcherson of "The Hunger Games" picked up a home rich in Hollywood history, Oprah Winfrey is listing a home she never lived in and Leonardo DiCaprio is looking for a renter for his Malibu home. Josh Hutcherson buys home previously owned by Ledger, DeGeneres Josh Hutcherson was no stranger to the big screen when he was selected for blockbuster film "The Hunger Games. The 19-year-old had previous roles in "Bridge to Terabithia," "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "The Kids are Alright." But his role as Peeta Mellarck firmly put Hutcherson on Hollywood's hot list. With a contract inked out for the second and third installment of "Hunger Games" trilogy, Hutcherson decided to cement his arrival in Tinseltown with a purchase of a Hollywood Hills home. Of course the 19-year-old didn't buy just any property for his first L.A. home. Hutcherson picked up a place that was previously owned by two Hollywood heavyweights: Heath Ledger and Ellen DeGeneres. According to listing records, Ledger purchased the property from DeGeneres in August 2005 for $2,100,021. He and his girlfriend, Michelle Williams, lived there throughout their relationship and the birth of their daughter until their split in 2007. After Ledger's death in Manhattan in January 2008, the Hollywood Hills home was put on the market and sold that July for $2.5 million. Since then, the mid-century has bounced on and off the real estate market, most recently listed for $2.995 million. It's unclear whether Hutcherson snatched the home for a deeper discount. Built in 1951, the mid-century has only 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1,861 square feet of living space, but it has over 2,000 square feet of outdoor living spaces including a multiple decks hidden by the greenery of trees, which lends to its nickname as "The Tree House." One of the decks has a movie projector and lounge area; other spaces feature more seating, a barbecue and dining area. A projector turns one of the deck into an outdoor movie theater. The mid-century modern has high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. See more photos of Josh Hutcherson's new home on Zillow. Oprah Winfrey slices price of luxury Chicago condo she never lived in Although Oprah never lived in the condo, the home has been elegantly styled. She must really want it sold. Otherwise, why would media mogul Oprah Winfrey slash the price for her stunning 4,600-square-foot Chicago condo? Winfrey has re-listed the 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom co-op at 199 E. Lakeshore Drive for $2.8 million, which is exactly half of the $5.6 million she paid for the place in 2006. According to the Chicago Tribune, which reported the news Wednesday, Oprah spends most of her time at her palatial digs in California and Hawaii since leaving her show last year. She still owns a duplex nearby in Chicago's coveted Gold Coast real estate market, but has apparently ramped up efforts to divest of the condo she bought in 2006 but never moved into. After trying to sell the condo in 2008, Winfrey had it listed as a rental for $15,000 a month. According to the Tribune, the pressure is on to finally get the elegant abode sold. Many of the condo's rooms include lake views. An well-appointed bathroom features marble floors and fixtures. See more photos of Oprah's luxury condo on Zillow.
