Michael Showalter—director of hit romantic comedy The Big Sick—is selling his five-bedroom traditional-style in Studio City. The property reached the open market earlier this month with an asking price of $2.295 million, and didn’t need much time to attract interest.
The 2,766 sq. ft. home dates to the 1940s. Its façade features a brick foundation and a wood-clad exterior. Inside, it offers an attractive mix of dark cool and lighter neutral tones, cottage design style, and East Coast inspiration.
Highlights include the formal living room—which boasts a wood-burning fireplace and textured, pale beige wall covering—and the kitchen, an intimate space which is cozy and charmingly idiosyncratic.
In back: a pool area with atmosphere. A covered brick patio is the transition, with the pool and pool house a secluded pair within a dense surrounding wall of privacy landscaping.
Showalter’s upcoming projects include The Eyes of Tammy Faye, with Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield.
