Actors Mark Ruffalo and Zooey Deschanel are not, and never have been, an item.

But one thing they have in common is this charming home in L.A.’s Hollywood Hills not far from Universal Studios. Both actors owned it at one time, although not together. The classic home has returned to the market for $2,985,000.

Ruffalo purchased the 2,957-square-foot home in 2004 for $1.65 million. In 2009, he sold it to Deschanel and her husband at the time, Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard, for the same price he paid.

Deschanel upgraded and renovated the place before selling it in 2015 for $2,330,000. Key work on the 1933 home included the chef’s kitchen, which was equipped with a Viking refrigerator, La Cornue stove, marble counters, a large center island, farmhouse sink, breakfast nook with built-in banquette, and an attached butler’s pantry.
