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.
Actor, comedian, and screenwriter Will Forte recently listed his long-time home in Santa Monica, California. Forte purchased the Craftsman-style home in 2002, reportedly just two weeks before he found out he got the job at SNL.

Inside, the main entrance opens into a large living area along the front of the home. Traditional Craftsman features abound—most notably original beamed ceilings and extensive moldings.

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.
French doors in the living area lead out to a cozy outdoor space.
