Vince Vaughn buys home in La Cañada Flintridge

Vince Vaughn has bought a house for $3.925 million in an area of Los Angeles one might not normally associate with actors – La Cañada Flintridge.

And while it may not have the celebrity cachet of Hollywood Hills, he can count actress Angela Bassett and a host of entertainment industry types among his neighbors. Plus, the schools are good.

Still, it’s a far cry from the three-level penthouse he had listed atop Chicago’s Palmolive Building at $16.8 million until recently.

His new Colonial-style home sits on three-quarters of an acre with a swimming pool and a sports court. There are five bedrooms, six bathrooms and 5,563 square feet of living space.

As a producer and screenwriter, the 43-year-old Vaughn has starred in such movies as “Wedding Crashers” (2005), “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” (2004) and “Swingers” (1996). He will be in the upcoming films “The Internship” and “Delivery Man.”

Debra McCoy of Dilbeck Real Estate was the listing agent, and Christine Navarro of Podley Properties was the sales agent, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
