Leo purchased the midcentury California bungalow... back in 1998, and the three bed, two bath home is a beaut. It's on star-studded Carbon Beach, the views are killer, and the interiors are gorgeous. But the truth is, life is probably meaningless and there is a strong chance that we all die alone. Could buying this house change any of that?</p></em><br /><br /><p><em>LAist: Hi! Love the house!! Just a few questions. Albert Camus once said "At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman." This house is obviously super beautiful&mdash;do you think there is anything inhuman about that beauty?</em></p><p><em>Redfin: Um, wow, that wasn't the question I was expecting. I think with this house in particular, with where it sits especially, it's an absolutely breathtaking home. I do not think there is anything inhuman about this house. I think it's a representation of the oceanfront property that it sits on.</em></p><p><img src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/514x/80/807oytw59blnn1j5.jpg" title="" alt=""></p><p><img src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/514x/cy/cyloqhxlax4dg2zc.jpg" title="" alt=""></p><p><img src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/514x/ab/abrwskw79ifk40pl.jpg" title="" alt=""></p><p>For more on the intersections between architecture and celebrities, check out these links:</p><ul><li><a href="http://archinect.com/news/article/125294062/jason-f-mclennan-selected-to-design-leonardo-dicaprio-s-restorative-eco-resort" target="_blank">Jason F.
