‘Boogie Nights’ actress Heather Graham listed her cute-as-a-button period Spanish eclectic in Los Angeles this month for $2.85 million. Graham has owned the property—which is nestled away in a quiet corner of Beachwood Canyon—for about two decades.
Perhaps no species of stylized residence looks quite so naturally integrated with its native habitat than the period L.A. Spanish revival cottage. The hillside property presents a two-bay garage to the street, developing below street level as a 2,150 square-foot romantic accessible via a pair of gates. White stucco, clay tile, and black trim contrast beautifully in relation to the flowering and neatly groomed green of the landscaping.
The house ticks off many a box on the shameless charmer assessment form. A rotunda entry with ornamental tower windows, a centralized step-up living room with kiva fireplace, plank hardwood, raw wood ceilings, arches, casement windows, and tile, tile, tile set the tone of the living style as unabashedly timeless. Graham’s enhanced the feel of the place with a series of Moroccan lanterns, but it is unknown if they will be included with the sale.
At about two-tenths of an acre, the home’s lot is smallish, but the setting, and the ebullience of the landscaping, keep things cozy over claustrophobic. A pool with a brick patio may be accessed via a meandering footpath; perfect.
Graham’s upcoming feature films include a role in the neo-noir ‘Wander’; the film also stars Tommy Lee Jones, and is due in theaters next year.
