Nick Kroll—creator, producer, and star of animated Netflix series ‘Big Mouth’—shelled out $6 million for this 1926-built Spanish Eclectic-style house in Los Angeles this summer. The 4,770 square-footer contains five bedrooms and five baths, and is built into a hillside, giving the quarter-acre lot a pleasing meandering feel via an outdoor staircase that descends to a pool and sunlounge below the structure.
From the street, the house is nestled behind stucco walls, exuberant flora, and a gate with plum-colored insets; its clay-tiled roof, second-story pergola, and plum-colored window and French door trim peeks out shyly from above the privacy border.
Inside the home, period details accumulate into an intoxicating atmosphere—Gothic motifs, original tile—some hand-painted—as well as a patio with an outdoor planter, a carved barn door, stucco walls and fireplace, an outdoor terrace large enough for both dining and lounge space, and a kitchen which borders on the spectacular.
