A midcentury home in Hollywood Hills returns to the open market on the cusp of spring courtesy of Jonathan Rhys Meyers. According to public records, the actor has owned the property for fifteen years, and first attempted to sell it in March of 2014. Returning to the market in March of 2022, it is priced at $1.85 million. It attracted serious interest within days and is pending sale.

Dating to 1961, the two-and-two features Case Study-inspired build philosophy, with a bit of industrial inspiration shining through in the use of naked steel and concrete; the materials are featured prominently in the living room, although the ceiling’s steel beam is sandwiched between wood to tone down its toughness.

Exceedingly warm by virtue of abundant honey-toned hardwood — including a platform bed in the master — and boasting a shared living space that culminates in a wide-open space with a  vaulted ceiling and plentiful glass, the home’s living style is extraordinarily socially facilitative.

From the living area (and the master bath too), glass doors open to a patio bordered by the lush, tropical landscaping that frames the property generally, and its retaining wall. A kidney-shaped pool is the centerpiece of the backyard living area, and the green-and-growing has been allowed opportunity to transform the little concrete plain into a secluded escape.

Meyers’ upcoming projects include 97 minutes, with Alec Baldwin.
