Actor, comedian, writer, producer, and jack-of-all-trades Joel McHale has placed his Los Angeles home on the market. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the booming East Side neighborhood of Los Feliz, the multi-level abode has a tidy $2,395,000 price tag. Property records show that McHale purchased the home in December 2007 for $1.88 million.
The late-1940s Traditional-style home has four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and two half baths and features red brick accents and fanciful Hollywood Regency style flourishes throughout—note the tomato-red front door, with a door knob bracketed by elegant, fluted pilasters, which opens to a double-height foyer and roomy formal living room with coved ceiling and fireplace. The entry foyer and living room have darkly stained high-gloss parquet floors, while the formal dining room boasts a Chinoiserie birdcage chandelier and multi-paned floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors that open to the spacious backyard, where the new resident will find a foliage enshrouded courtyard stone terrace with lounging and dining areas, a built-in grilling station, and a freestanding outdoor fireplace.
The lower floor has a slender office/library with custom-crafted floor-to-ceiling bookshelves atop enclosed storage cabinets lining three of the walls. There’s a street-level two-car garage, and an elegantly outfitted eat-in kitchen with black slab granite counter tops along with name brand appliances, including a warming drawer, wine fridge, and built-in coffee and espresso machine. The home totals 3,451 square feet.
McHale, 44, is best known for portraying the sharply sardonic Jeff Winger on the sitcom “Community,” and for hosting the pop culture skewering clip show “The Soup.” With his wife, Sarah Williams, he owns a four-bedroom house in a planned development in the Seattle suburb of Sammamish.
