A lovely 1965-built Cape in Los Angeles is a recently addition to the West Coast’s open market; current owner Kate Beckinsale has priced it at $3.995 million. The airy and secluded home contains four bedrooms and five baths in its 3,603 sq. ft. of interior living space.
The home’s living style is enhanced by subtle touches of rusticity, including stacked stone accents and fireplaces and plank maple floors, but it’s also refined casual: a set of built-in bookshelves with a rail ladder, multiple sets of French doors, and a sunny den with a steeply-pitched semi-vaulted ceiling inset with series windows also catch the eye. More compelling individual rooms also include a kitchen with a walnut snack bar and a separate marble-capped island; the room also features cottage cabinetry with multi-pane doors.
The lot measures in at .4 acres, with lawns, stacked stone retaining walls, and a broad variety of plantings distinguishing the landscaping. An elevated footbridge connects the home with the outdoor spa and recreation areas, a unique touch to a very charming property indeed.
Beckinsale’s upcoming projects include El Tonto, with Jason Sudeikis, Edie Falco, John Malkovich, Ray Liotta, Ken Jeong, Adrien Brody, and Randy Orton.
