Juno Temple, the accomplished English actress with a notable career spanning over 15 years and numerous films, has transitioned from her early roles in movies like “Notes on a Scandal” and “Atonement” to becoming a recognized Hollywood figure. Recently, she gained prominence with a significant role in the fifth season of FX’s Fargo, following her breakout in Ted Lasso. After spending years on the periphery of stardom, Temple, now 34, has made a substantial investment by purchasing a Los Angeles residence to serve as her stateside base.
Nestled in a secluded enclave of the Hollywood Hills, the Mediterranean-inspired house, constructed in 1995, underwent a contemporary makeover before Temple acquired it for approximately $2.8 million. The price exceeded the seller’s asking amount by around $80,000, indicating competition for the property.
Described in the listing as offering “a level of privacy that is hard to find,” the fully gated property is situated at the back of a steep canyon, concluding a little-known cul-de-sac. Despite its relatively modest 6,000-square-foot lot size, the residence is strategically shielded by towering trees and high hedges, providing an ideal retreat for a celebrity. Noteworthy for the Hollywood Hills, the property offers ample parking, featuring a three-car garage and a lengthy driveway with space for an additional four cars.
The three-story home includes a lower level with a guest bedroom suite, suitable for use as maid’s quarters, and a bonus room adaptable for purposes like a wine cellar or meditation area. Ascending to the main floor, generously proportioned living spaces unfold, encompassing a high-ceilinged living room with a fireplace, a kitchen equipped with premium appliances, and French doors leading to an outdoor living area adorned with an AstroTurf lawn.
The uppermost floor houses the remaining three bedrooms, with the primary suite offering a spacious walk-in closet, a bathroom featuring a linen closet, and a jacuzzi tub. The other two bedrooms share a sizable bathroom, both enjoying scenic treetop views of the neighborhood, while the primary suite overlooks the outdoor plunge pool.
Adjacent to the property and backing up to a vast nature preserve, the backyard imparts a sense of expansiveness beyond its physical dimensions. According to the listing, a semi-private pathway adjacent to the lot leads to acres of wildflowers and extensive hiking trails, creating an ideal haven for a nature enthusiast like Temple.
