Yahoo Finance ‘The Office’s’ Brian Baumgartner Relists Los Feliz Home (EXCLUSIVE)
Brian Baumgartner, best known as the hilariously offensive accountant Kevin Malone on “The Office,” has relisted his unassuming home on a quiet street in the celebrity-approved Oaks neighborhood of L.A.’s Los Feliz, with an asking price just shy of $2.85 million. Property records reveal that the stage-experienced actor, whose television credits include brief appearances on “Hot in Cleveland” and “Melissa & Joey,” purchased the property in April 2007 for a hair more than $1.9 million.
He first made it available on the open market several months ago, with an asking price a sliver short of $3 million. Described in listing details as a “New Orleans-style traditional,” the two-story, 1940s residence sits on a bit more than a quarter of an acre, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms in just under 3,100 square feet.
The sunken living room has an elegant black-marble fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and oversized casement windows. The separate dining room connects to a cozy French country kitchen with a black-and-white tile floor that extends into a sunny breakfast room. French doors lead to a grassy garden where, in the spring of 2014, Baumgartner was married in front of many of his co-stars from “The Office.”
Floor-to-ceiling, 12-pane windows flank a second fireplace in the family room that also features a broad bank of French doors accessing a tree-shaded stone terrace. A tile-accented swimming pool occupies a sunny clearing that’s unfortunately a considerable climb up a steep hillside behind the back of the house. Due to its elevation, though, the pool provides peek-a-boo views over the surrounding rooftops.
Other entertainment-industry homeowners in the Oaks include Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Ashley Jensen, Bananarama band member Siobhan Fahey, and two-time Oscar nominee Rooney Mara, who procured her glassy, mid-century-modern pavilion from Alexander Skarsgård in early 2015 for $2.9 million.
Baumgartner previously owned a home in nearby Franklin Hills that was purchased, per property records, in 2012 for not quite $1.1 million, and deeded over to his ex-wife, Julia, earlier this year.
