‘SNL’ alum’s closing act is no joke
It’s a wrap in Silver Lake for
Kristen Wiig, who is offering her revamped Midcentury Modernstyle home for $5.125 million.
The Silver Lake hillside perch, named the Martin Residence for its architect, Albert P. Martin, maintains its Modernist aesthetic and original floor plan. An openconcept great room anchors the 3,515-square-foot interior and boasts restored sconces, oystercolored cement tile floors and a concrete-block fireplace. Rich western red cedar paneling lines the ceiling.
There are also three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a stained-glass kitchen, an office, a den and a newly added movie theater accessed by a sliding wall of wood. A separate guest residence adds a studio and sauna.
Walls of glass line the home’s rear, opening up to a wraparound deck with views of the Silver Lake Reservoir. An infinity-edge pool and spa cap off the space.
Taalman Architecture handled the recent renovation of the home. George Penner of Deasy/Penner and Bryony Atkinson of Maisonre Real Estate are the listing agents.
Wiig was a fixture on “Saturday Night Live” from 2005 to 2012. Since then, she’s starred in the films “Skeleton Twins,” “Ghostbusters,” “Masterminds” and “Downsizing.”
The 45-year-old actress has been busy in and around the Eastside of Los Angeles as of late. Last year, she sold her Los Feliz estate for $2 million and picked up a Case Study House in Pasadena for around $3 million. THE MIDCENTURY MODERN perch owned by Kristen Wiig and listed for $5.125 million has views of the Silver Lake Reservoir.
