In California, midcentury moderns and historic Spanish-style homes boast the same architectural charm as Colonials or Georgians do in New England. Therefore, it’s no shock that these gems woo many discerning buyers, and celebrities, who come to call Los Angeles home.
Actress and musician Riki Lindhome, who is best known now for her starring role in ‘Wednesday’ but has appeared in many films and TV series, acquired this midcentury stunner in L.A. in 2019. Lindhome and comedic actor Fred Armisen of ‘SNL’ and ‘Portlandia’ fame married in 2022 and own another residence together, but this one is especially dear to her as it is the first house she purchased on her own. She has now listed the inviting, circa-1961 pad in Culver City for $2.795 million.
Stepping inside Lindhome’s L-shaped, wood and glass-clad abode, it’s easy to see how anyone would be proud to call this place home. From the first living room with vaulted ceilings and unexpectedly clear views of downtown L.A. to the spacious, earth-toned kitchen overlooking the home’s saltwater pool, warmth and architectural character flow with ease. While this main level is ideal for stylish hosting and indoor-outdoor living, the upstairs holds all four bedrooms for natural privacy and treetop tranquility.
Maintained beautifully over the last 65 years and upgraded with modenities like solar panels, this property could draw a buyer fast. Perhaps even another celebrity will spot it. For those interested, Debbie Weiss of Compass holds the listing.
