The updated Craftsman features a home theater and a two-story wine tower that holds 210 bottles. The 3,235-square-foot house has four bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms.

It sits on nearly an acre with a three-tiered water element starting at the spa and spilling into an infinity-edge pool.

Kutcher, 33, starred on "That '70s Show" (1998-2006) and in the films "Killers" (2010) and "No Strings Attached" (2011). Kutcher was the first Twitter user to top 1 million followers.
