Curb Your Enthusiasm player Cheryl Hines listed an eccentric, 1937-built West Coast traditional this summer with an asking price of $6.2 million. And she didn’t have to wait long for an offer; a sale is pending. The Los Angeles property measures in at .45 acres, with five bedrooms and six baths across 5,474 sq. ft. of interior living area.
The home’s exterior is painted bright white, with the glossy black of the sidelight-flanked front door standing out dramatically as a result. Brick, lantern sconces, and an upper-level balcony that suggests Monterey Colonial also distinguish this home.
The shared living spaces begin and end with the marvelous living room, where the nook-and-cranny look of floor-to-ceiling built-ins is picked up in the raw ceiling design; wiring and plumbing is integrated into the joists. The kitchen is also remarkable, but more for its use of a couple of classical kitchen tropes: a harlequin tile floor and a Dutch door opening onto the property exterior.
Other details of the common areas include French doors, narrow-plank hardwood given a dark coffee-toned treatment, a barn door, and wood-burning fireplaces. And, outside: brick paths, side lawns dotted with mature trees, and a recreation area with a fire lounge, a wet bar, and a freeform pool with a stone surround.
