“Last Man on Earth” Creator Will Forte Puts His Santa Monica Craftsman on the Market for $2.45M
If you're at all familiar with Saturday Night Live, you likely know some of the characters played by Will Forte. Perhaps most famously, his eight years as a SNL cast member brought us "MacGruber"—a parody on the '80s TV series MacGyver—that later became a movie and was recently approved for a season on NBC's new streaming service. For the last 18 years, Forte's home base on the West Coast has been modest Craftsman bungalow in Santa Monica, California, but he's now ready to hand over the keys.
Forte, who purchased the property in 2002, originally split much of his time between living in Santa Monica and New York City, where SNL is filmed. His departure from the show in 2010 coincided with the launch of the MacGruber movie that same year, with Forte and fellow SNL writers reportedly writing much of the screenplay in the home's dining room. Forte and his other collaborators, filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, also came up the idea for his end-of-the-world sitcom, The Last Man Standing, while sitting in that same dining area.
Originally built in 1913, the two-level home offers just over 1,900 square feet of interior space. The lower level features a pair of wood-trimmed bedrooms and a charming bathroom, while the upper level offers a sunlit principal suite with beamed ceilings and a second full bathroom. Outside, the characteristic front porch is complemented by a large rear deck, with lush landscaping adding privacy to the corner lot.
