Titus Welliver has a new home for the holidays, and one that’s self-sufficient and figuratively green. The Bosch star and, way back when in the ought-20s, Deadwood supporting player paid $4 million for the four-bed estate in Topanga, according to Dirt.
The property’s large solar array gives it off-the-grid appeal, and is foreshadowed in the hardwood pattern designed into the custom gates that stand as a formidable but artisanal preamble to entry. A sophisticated water filtration and softening system with a 10,000-gallon tank, a solar-heated pool, and thirst-resistant landscaping are additional desirable grid-blind and ecologically-relevant features of this 5.81-acre estate.
The 2000-built home puts a graceful spin on modern industrial, with a barrel-shaped roofline over the main living area that makes room for the very pretty arc of clerestories that light up the shared living space. The curvature is picked up in the accent wall that is a prominent decorative feature and subtle room-to-room demarcation element in the living area.
Stone terrazzo accents add midcentury cred and enhance the earthy feel of this 6,026 sq. ft. home, but there’s the occasional bit of unabashed flash at work in this desert dwelling as well, with the fireplace’s glossy, beautifully figured natural stone a striking highlight.
