Rose McGowan puts her Los Feliz home up for sale
Actress Rose McGowan is hoping to charm a buyer with her Los Feliz home listed at $1,849,000.
The gated Spanish villa, built in 1928, has a grand baronial-style entry, a step-down living room with a vaulted beamed ceiling, peg-and-groove wood plank floors, arched windows and a coffered ceiling in the family room. The 4,278-square-foot house has four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
McGowan, who has a passion for Spanish-style houses, brought back the original character of the home by renovating the floors and fixtures.
Television audiences know the 37-year-old from her role as one of the witchy sisters on “Charmed” (2001-06). She stars in the “Conan the Barbarian” movie due this summer.
McGowan bought the property in 2004 for $1,850,000, according to public records.

A compound fit for the King

The French Regency-style estate, built in 1958, sits on a 1.18-acre promontory with city-to-ocean views in the Trousdale Estates area. Recently remodeled, the 5,367-square-foot house has new flooring, a new kitchen and laundry room, and a resurfaced pool and spa. Floor-to-ceiling windows and walls of glass lend an indoor-outdoor feel to the four-bedroom, five-bathroom home with attached guesthouse.

Taking their act to Valley Village

Corbin and Pays, who try to bring back old homes’ original grandeur, plan to do the same with this house. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has 2,415 square feet of living space and sits on a quarter-acre corner lot.
