Actors Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater Bid Adieu to Their Chic L.A. Midcentury for $2.4M

Built in 1951, the U-shaped home in Los Feliz wraps around a pool for light-filled, laid-back spaces.

Steps away from the kitchen is a covered outdoor eating area that offers a cabana-like vibe.

Offered at $2,398,000, the four-bedroom home of actors Lily Rabe (star of American Horror Story and HBO’s upcoming mini-series The Undoing) and Hamish Linklater (star of Legion and The Newsroom) has come under contract—the speedy sale comes as no surprise, given its midcentury character and location in the hip, hillside enclave of Los Feliz.

The front facade is unassuming, shielded by large star pine trees. A series of steps lead up to a large front deck and the main entrance.

Built in 1951, the single-story property boasts a polished, modern aesthetic. An open floor plan is defined by the home’s U-shaped layout with walls of windows and French doors overlooking a central swimming pool. Offering access to the patio from most rooms, the midcentury home lives up to its modernist ideals of indoor/outdoor living.

Inside, the U-shaped floor plan spans 3,402 square feet. Vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of space, while skylights and French doors invite in natural light.

Along with expansive living spaces, the updated dwelling features four bedrooms (including two master suites), five-and-a-half baths, a home office, and a three-car garage. Outside, a 10,682-square-foot lot provides several spaces for enjoying the outdoors in addition to the pool area.

Complete with blue cabinetry, the newly remodeled kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, a marble-topped island, and a line of windows overlooking the covered patio and pool.

  • Kūono at Volcano

    Kūono is a modern cabin located on the Big Island of Hawaii near Volcanoes National Park. Its exterior was inspired by the modern sea cabins of Norway, and was designed to appear as a modern shape glowing in contrast to the dense Ohia forest. The exterior features of the property fade seamlessly into the boundaries of the site, with a crushed basalt driveway, native landscaping and outdoor sitting areas that were leveled with rocks dislodged during foundation preparation. Water to the property is supplied by a catchment tank and pump house, screened from view by horizontal cedar lattice. Kūono’s design allows for the experience of minimal restriction between indoor and outdoor. Its living spaces include both an open concept interior floor plan as well as an expansive lanai that features a central fire pit, lounge chairs and cedar ofuro soaking tub. From inside the cabin, a full height window wall and sliding glass doors give guests a complete vertical panorama of soil to blue sky through the Ohia canopies above. The floor plan efficiently accommodates four, with a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and a vaulted sleeping/living space. In addition this home was under construction during the 2018 eruption that lasted 4 months. Although it was 20 miles away from the flowing lava that decimated over 700 homes, it was 4 miles away for the Halemaumau Crater which at one point experienced a 30 day stretch with daily 5.0 or greater earthquakes including one with a magnitude of 6.9. Minimal, modern, yet comfortable, Kūono is meant to be a place of respite, where guests are immersed in the beauty of Volcano’s natural landscape with the comforts of a luxury guest home still at hand.
