LOCATION: Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, Calif.
PRICE: $3.995 million
SIZE: 4,102 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, plus two 1-bed/1-bath guesthouses
Sitcom superstar Kunal Nayyar, in recent years one of the highest paid actors on television due to his lucrative, long-running role on “The Big Bang Theory,” and his wife, former Miss India turned fashion designer Neha Kapur, have hung a not quite $4 million price tag on their remarkably private former home that is discreetly tucked into a quiet, little-known pocket of the star-studded Nichols Canyon area of L.A’s Hollywood Hills.
Nayyar and Kapur acquired the secluded compound about 8.5 years ago for $2.85 million.
Previous owners of the property include actor Jeffrey Duncan Jones, best known as hilariously humiliated Dean of Students Ed Rooney in the seminal 1986 comedy “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”.
The house and gardens were featured in Architectural Digest in 2017 and, according to current listings held by Markus Canter and Cristie St. James of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, the just over half-acre spread’s more than 4,100-square feet of living space is spread throughout the three-bedroom and 3.5-bathroom single-story hacienda-style main house that dates to the late 1940s and two one-bed/one-bath guest cottages.
A small gated motor court with garaging for three cars, a densely verdant courtyard garden and a skylight topped entrance gallery lead to a spacious living room designed for both intimate and grand scale entertaining.
A fireplace is placed between mirror-backed bookshelves and a wet bar is set in to a curved wall of windows where French doors connect the room to one of the compound’s several serene courtyard gardens.
A separate dining room easily seats eight or ten, and the expensively accoutered kitchen is flooded with natural light through a large skylight directly over a doublewide island topped with gleaming black granite. Each of the main house’s three ample bedrooms is en suite.
