Olivia Wilde’s former 1920s LA home lists for $4.8M

In Los Angeles, a Spanish Colonial-style estate with a star history of ownership has hit the market. 

Located on a hillside in the Los Feliz neighborhood, the 3,284-square-foot abode is currently seeking $4.8 million.

Previous owners of the 2510 Chislehurst Place compound include, from 2011 to 2013, “Don’t Worry Darling” director and actress Olivia Wilde — and Brian Henson, son of “Muppets” creator Jim Henson.

Built in 1929, approximately 90% of the property’s original details remain today, according to Patricia Ruben of Sotheby’s International Realty, who shares the listing with colleague Alan Melkonyan, Mansion Global first reported.

The current owner is Jeff Boutelle, the CEO of vitamin and supplement company Pharmavite, owner of Nature Made. Boutelle purchased the residence for $3.04 million in 2017 from fashion designer Jon Buscemi, a cousin of the actor Steve Buscemi, according to Mansion Global. 

The home is entered through a grand rotunda and is currently laid out into four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and one half-bath — all set on .21 acres.

There’s a library with a monogrammed fireplace, a Juliet balcony-equipped living room, a home theater with an original bar and a recently upgraded eat-in kitchen with two ovens and a custom banquette.

Highlights include hand-painted Malibu tiles, multiple winding wrought-iron staircases, vaulted ceilings, curved walls, exposed wood beams, and both stained and leaded glass windows. 

Three of the bedrooms have ensuite baths and one offers a walk-in closet. 

Outside, there are various al fresco dining areas, including a deck located just off the kitchen, a salt waterfall, gravel paths, tiered foliage as well as a garage. 

Overall, the address is defined by its bright white walls and Spanish tile roofing.

From the upper level there are sweeping views of downtown Los Angeles and the surrounding greenery.
