A full-blooded Storybook Tudor home in the Los Angeles area is now the property of actress Andie MacDowell, according to Dirt. MacDowell was charmed out of $4.136 million and change when the closing concluded. What she acquired is a splendid little English country cottage in Silver Lake with five bedrooms, four baths, and a stucco exterior finished with exposed timbers and a steeply-pitched roofline.

The 3.461 sq. ft. retreat has a setting that compliments its escapist architecture: it’s situated about a block from the western bank of the lower reservoir, and has water views from the Gothic bay window of its upper-level step-up reading area. The .16-acre lot is filled out with a pool and small deck surrounded by stone paths, and a detached garage/studio with a loft that features contrasting ceiling timbers, an unusual period detail that has thankfully survived.

The home’s interiors are beautifully realized. The dark blue-gray trim color contrasts beautifully with the warm off-white paint used more generally. But the craftsmanship that went into the interior revision of this 1928-built house gets top billing; it is extraordinary, with plentiful oak that is likely refinished original, a curving staircase, arched doorways, casement windows, and French doors.

MacDowell’s upcoming projects include Along for the Ride, with Kate Bosworth.
