Stockard Channing, a beloved star of Grease and The West Wing, has listed her Laurel Canyon home for $2.495 million. The breezy home occupies a secluded lot ideal for a celebrity hideaway. Though it has no pink decor, the residence would no doubt be Pink Lady-approved as it’s a cool escape with open spaces for entertaining and charming boho-chic style. It was even built in the 1950s, the decade Grease was set in.
Perched along Woodrow Wilson’s famed Celebrity Row above the Hollywood Hills, the home melds pedigree with privacy. Gates guard the driveway, which winds through the lushly landscaped grounds to the inviting facade. The one-level home spans 2,157-square-feet, with three bedrooms and four bathrooms. Each bedroom boasts an ensuite, while stained glass windows and vaulted wood ceilings throughout create a sense of relaxed elegance.
The Academy Award-nominee and Emmy Award-winner clearly values privacy and location in equal parts—mere minutes from the Sunset Strip, West Hollywood, and Studio City, there is a comforting proximity to the industry that ensures an easy commute to filming or auditions. One can imagine Channing seeing the property for the first time, embodying Betty Rizzo and musing, “There are worse things I could do.”
Juliette Hohnen and Annie Stewart of Douglas Elliman have the beautiful listing.
