Rob Lowe mentions his Hideaway in Los Angeles for $ 4.2 million

Second houses are often framed as holiday cushions. But for the film and TV actors of Hollywood, they are more often workshops. Even with the total number of shooting days that shrink while productions go to other hotspots, such as Toronto or Atlanta, Los Angeles still host About a fifth From scripted projects in North America. Proximity is important. For actors who fly in La for spells in front of the camera, the solution is a restrained base that they can occupy for the piece and then leave.

Rob Lowe is such a star. His primary basis is in Montecito. When the work was called, he stopped in a private canyon Aerie 1853 Franklin Canyon Drive. Now, perhaps due to recent projects – Van Hosting The floor to the future The third parent– He pules the country and lets his La Hideaway go for $ 4.2 million.

Followers of Lowe’s recent real estate comics and ins and outs will know that the star has been pretty active. In October 2020, Lowe and his wife, Sheryl Berkoff, sold their tailor-made Oakview Estate Off-Market for around $ 45.5 million. Weeks later they took a smaller building in Montecito near Coast Village Road for around $ 5.2 million, then renovated and the beginning of 2022 from the market for $ 14.9 million. That same season, Local records The couple tied Stonehedge on Hot Springs Road about $ 13 million, and strengthened their foot in the area.

To call Lowe’s house in the Beverly Hills Post Office District (BHPO) A Pied-à-Terre underlines it. The house comprises slightly less than 3000 square foot over two levels, with three bedrooms and four and a half baths. Built in 1950, today it reads clean and contemporary, thanks to renovations under supervision during Lowe’s term of office.

The house opens with a single sweep from the public space. Wide plank oak under the foot. An inked fire anchor the living room and carries its heat in the adjacent kitchen, sleek with black surfaces and streamlined with adapted cupboards and Viking devices. A nearby wet bar stops in a monogram of wine and baking fridge.

Oversized Glass French doors open for a covered patio hanging above the gorge. Here the dinner extends to the evening, while a view of the hills are shifting from green to shade. Along the main corridor, two bedrooms offer privacy from the public rooms, including the primary suite. The suite adds a suitable walk -in closet and a balcony behind more French doors with windows.

Downstairs brings a second living zone, more casual and ready to take advantage of the facilities in the back garden. A hollow with French doors leads to a covered patio, a ladies’ toilet, a niche from the corner office and a complete suite of the bedroom. The gym and the laundry are in the neighborhood and can be conceived if necessary as an extra bed and bath.

Outside, privacy is not only a promise on a listing sheet, it is the product of sitting and carefully planting. The building rests at the end of the street while the road curls into the hill, while High Ficus Hedges wrapping the back garden to close the loop. Within that green envelope are the pieces that define off-Duty Los Angeles. A swimming pool and spa for hot days and late nights. A shady terrace for meals when the California Sun turns out to be too strong. A small pit aside for a quick reset between calls.

Lowe wired the building for vigilance and added a complete security suite. Discreet cameras read the corners and the approach, appropriate for someone who was used to a life for lenses. And it is not only the house, but also the neighborhood. At the mouth of the street, a sign indicates that is being filmed while keeping extra cameras from above.

Security is part of BHPO’s draw. That also applies to the map. The enclave offers a Los Angeles address with a woody Beverly Hills Canyon -mood and fast routes to studios on the west side and in the valley. And for those who are not part of the set podium set (or not yet), it is a rare bag of privacy where commuters and walkers cross paths every morning.
