Home That Tim Curry Lovingly Restored Finds a Buyer Just Hours After His Death"},"content":{"rendered":"

A historical Los Angeles<\/a> property that late actor <\/a>Tim Curry<\/strong><\/a> spent years carefully restoring to its former glory has come under offer, just hours after new of the “Rocky Horror” star’s passing was announced.<\/p>\n

The sprawling property, which is located in Los Feliz<\/a>, was purchased by the actor for just $650,000 in 1993\u2014and then underwent a multi-year renovation by Curry, who later showcased the results of the transformation in a shoot for Architectural Digest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Drawing on inspiration from European design style, Curry\u2014who passed away at the age of 80, 14 years after he suffered a major stroke\u2014transformed the house into a warm, eclectic abode that would later be owned by a host of other famous faces, including “Twilight” star <\/a>Robert Pattinson<\/strong><\/a>, “The Pitt” actor <\/a>Noah Wyle<\/strong><\/a>, and “The Big Bang Theory<\/a>” comedian Jim Parsons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom spread was most recently listed for just under $10 million in July 2025, however it has since undergone several price cuts that eventually brought the ask down to $7.5 million on Aug. 6 of this year.<\/p>\n

When news of Curry’s death was revealed to the public, the home\u2014which is listed with Ben Belack<\/strong> of Alex Everest\u2014was still on the market, however records how now been updated to reflect that it has come under “contingent” offer, meaning that the seller has accepted an offer, but certain conditions need to be meet before the deal can close.<\/p>\n

The listing description for the property made no secret of the home’s very impressive Hollywood heritage, noting some of the incredible work that Curry had done to restore it during his ownership\u2014as well as the other high-profile people who have called it home over the years.<\/p>\n

“This transportive residence made its Architectural Digest debut in August 1924, just two years after completion. It returned to the magazine’s pages in 1998, documenting Tim Curry’s meticulous restoration of the property’s original details: exposed wood-beam ceilings, hand-painted surfaces, stained-glass windows, iridescent copper, and vintage tile,” it reads.<\/p>\n

It further noted that additional updates to the property were made by “Breaking Bad” star Aaron Paul<\/strong>, who worked with the design studio Commune Design to carry out a renovation in 2019.<\/p>\n

“The years have brought a remarkable procession of custodians, including [former NBA star] Kareem Abdul-Jabbar<\/strong>, Noah Wyle, Robert Pattinson, Jim Parsons, and Aaron Paul, who engaged Commune Design in 2019 to bring the property forward without disturbing their century of character,” it adds.<\/p>\n

When Curry showed off his own renovation of the property in his Architectural Digest shoot, he explained that the design of the home had been inspired by a trip he made to Ireland, when he had the opportunity to visit an estate owned by the storied Guinness<\/strong> family.<\/p>\n

“It was the most beautiful and comfortable house I’d ever been to,” he recalled, adding of its interior: “There was an extraordinary range of paintings and just the sort of patina\u2014and obsessions\u2014of several centuries of people who’d lived there, with everything having a layer of dog over it. A great jumble it was, all arranged by an eye.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A historical Los Angeles property that late actor Tim Curry spent years carefully restoring to its former glory…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1027684,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[125579,1582,276,411030,234777,2961,224,5337,40960,102222,132707],"class_list":["post-1027683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-architectural-digest","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-commune-design","tag-jim-parsons","tag-la","tag-los-angeles","tag-losangeles","tag-noah-wyle","tag-robert-pattinson","tag-tim-curry"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117168325596462800","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1027683","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1027683"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1027683\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1027684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1027683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1027683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1027683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
