The Mar Vista, California home in which actress Anne Heche careened into nearly two years ago, leading to her tragic death at 53, has been restored and has hit the market for $1.35 million.
Heche died on August 11 at the age of 53, six days after the crash that left her with injuries that would prove to be fatal.
The home, which has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, was pictured Tuesday appearing to be fully restored in the wake of the August 5, 2022 crash.
New images released of the home shows that some changes have been made from its initial presentation, as it is painted white and has a small front porch overlooking the yard.
The latest asking price of $1.35 million is down from when it was initially put up for sale for $1.49 million in February, TMZ reported Tuesday.

In the deadly incident, Heche drove her Mini Cooper into the west Los Angeles home just prior to 11 a.m., triggering a fire she wasn’t freed from for around 45 minutes, according to Los Angeles City Fire Department records reviewed by KNBC.
In the direct aftermath of the crash, Heche was initially transported to the Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center emergency room, and subsequently taken to Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital and Medical Center.
Heche was being probed for felony DUI in the incident, but authorities scuttled any legal maneuvers in that vein following her passing.
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner ultimately determined Heche’s cause of death was as result of injuries from the auto accident, E! News reported, citing official records.
Heche suffered inhalation and thermal injuries, a fractured sternum, a lacerated kidney and severe burns to more than 10 percent of her body, coroners said.
In nearly two years since the horrific crash, Heche’s estate has been sued by a number of different parties in pertinence to damages from the incident, as well as in regards to unsettled business issues the actress had at her time of death.
Heche is survived by son Homer, 22, from her former marriage to Coley Laffoon, 48, and son Atlas, 15, with former partner James Tupper, 58.
Homer was named the executor of Heche’s estate after battling in court with James Tupper over who would fill the role in the wake of Heche’s untimely passing.

Among the pending legal issues Heche’s estate is involved in include a $2 million lawsuit from Lynne Mishele, the woman who was residing at the home at the time of the crash.
Mishele said in court docs that she was left ‘traumatized’ by Heche’s actions and had been battling insomnia, anxiety and depression following the incident. She said that her possessions were destroyed amid the blaze.
Jennifer and John Durand, the couple who own the refurbished home, have also filed a $2 million lawsuit against Heche’s estate.
The homeowners said they dealt with lost rental income and ‘substantial damages as a result of Heche’s irresponsible actions and behavior,’ People reported in December 2022, citing legal docs.
Heche’s ex-boyfriend Thomas Jane in November of 2022 filed a suit against the estate claiming Heche died owing him around $150,000 from a previous loan he had made her.
Another lawsuit brought against the estate was over an unpaid Citibank/Citi Mastercard credit card tab of around $36,000 the actress was responsible for at her time of death.

Heche had won a Daytime Emmy award for her work on the soap opera Another World, and went on to appear in a number of high-profile late 90s films, including Donnie Brasco, Wag the Dog, Six Days Seven Nights and Psycho.
Heche also gained notoriety for her romance with Ellen DeGeneres from 1997 to 2000, which Heche would later say had an adverse impact on her show business career.
Heche did not appear to be on good terms with DeGeneres in the years proceeding her death.
She said on a June 2021 podcast that she warned DeGeneres’ now-wife Portia DeRossi (who she knew from working with on the Fox series Ally McBeal) that dating the comic/talk show host was a bad idea.
Following Heche’s death, DeGeneres said on social media, ‘This is a sad day. I’m sending Anne’s children, family and friends all of my love.’
