Hot Property: Engaged stars Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry get their households in order

LOS ANGELES _ Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry are changing up their living situations with wedding bells on the horizon.

Bloom put his Beverly Hills bachelor pad on the market for a dollar shy of $9 million, while Perry has sold her Hollywood Hills compound to restaurateur Michael Chow for a little over $12.7 million.

For Bloom, the listing comes after the "Lord of the Rings" actor finished a remodel of the home. The renovation involved the addition of a zero-edge swimming pool and the Ipe wood decking that now surrounds it. The kitchen was also reconfigured so that it opens to the dining room, according to listing agent Jason Oppenheim of the Oppenheim Group.

Built in the 1960s, the single-story home keeps the eyes moving with brilliant white walls and custom LED accent lighting. A living room with sunken conversation pit is at the heart of the 4,011-square-foot house, which has four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Pocketing glass doors in nearly every room connect the living spaces with the outdoors.

The compound that Perry sold sits behind gates on more than two acres of grounds and comprises a four-bedroom main house, a two-story guesthouse, a gym and a guard house. An amphitheater, terrace patios and a swimming pool fill the garden-filled grounds.

The main house has more than 7,400 square feet of living space, a living room with a fireplace, a great room, an eat-in kitchen and five bathrooms. Artful tile work and exposed beams create visual interest throughout the interior.

The master suite makes up the entire second floor and features a Roman-style bath.

Perry owned her compound since 2004, records show. Bloom has owned his house for about three years.

Bloom, 42, is known for his roles in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Lord of the Rings" film franchises. He is set to appear in the upcoming war drama "The Outpost" alongside Scott Eastwood and Caleb Landry Jones.

Perry, 32, released her fifth studio album, "Witness," this year. Her previous albums include "One of the Boys" (2008) and "Teenage Dream" (2010), which had five No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 list.
