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.
