Hot on the heels of our report last night about Heath Ledger’s former SoHo apartment being on the market for $26,000 per month is the news from Big Time listings that Ledger’s home has been sold, too. His estate tried to keep the sale of the 1,861-square-foot house for $2,500,000 out of the news as much as possible.
The home was purchased in May, and the sale was recorded in July. According to Big Time, the sale deed omitted the home’s street address and Ledger’s trust name. Prices eventually become public record, though, as this one has.
The late actor originally bought the house for $2,300,000 in 2005. The home features two bedrooms, two baths, and sits on just under a 1/2 acre.
It makes you wonder why the trust representatives went to such lengths to obscure the sale. Did they not want lookey-loos coming by just to tour Ledger’s home? Or did it have anything to do with Ledger’s baby mama Michelle and all the drama surrounding her and Ledger’s estate? No one’s talking right now.

Goes to show how Heath and Michelle were not a stable couple afterall. Heath had bought his own house in LA and had it under his name (or trust’s name) and Michelle bought the Brooklyn house she still resides in with her own name [or her own trust’s name). This couple were going to split and they knew it…….and that explains why Heath didn’t renew his will for Matilda, his daughter, because Heath obviously didn’t want Michelle to get a cent out of him.
It’s too bad though, that he didn’t revise it to take care of the daughter, even with a completely different trustee. That’s just too bad.
