This expressive modern-style villa in Venice Beach comes to the open market this month courtesy of current owners Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. The couple—who met on the set of HBO original series True Blood—is asking $12.5 million for the 7,100 sq. ft. house. The property first appeared on the market last year with a $14 million price tag.

The façade blends weathered timber (courtesy of the Hollywood Bowl) and concrete. Its architecture is embellished with suggestions of weight and ethereality, solidity and open space, and has as an external motif the stacking of varied planes. Its entry is glassy, with a large clerestory over the doorway illuminating the stairwell, expressing an open, welcoming feel and the home’s transitional possibilities, and fold-away glass walls opening the living and dining rooms to the sides. A second staircase in the home is a spiral, a nice touch for stylistic variety.

Other special details of this unique home: polished concrete floors, a private lap pool, a protected second-floor terrace with a fire feature, a wet bar, a midcentury-inspired kitchen with an attached window-seat dayroom, a gym, a roof deck, and green energy features.

Paquin’s upcoming projects include American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story. Moyer’s upcoming releases include SHTF.
