A historic Los Angeles estate that the late actor Tim Curry spent years carefully restoring was sold merely hours after news of his death broke. The sprawling home, which is located in Los Feliz, was purchased by the star in 1993 for $650,000.
Renovated with a European-inspired aesthetic, the home features four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Beige walls, dark hardwood flooring, and warm textiles create a cozy, inviting ambiance throughout. "It was the most beautiful and comfortable house I’d ever been to," Tim shared in an interview with Architectural Digest. "There was an extraordinary range of paintings and just the sort of patina – and obsessions – of 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."

The Los Feliz property was put on the market for just under $10 million in July 2025. The price was then cut to $7.5 million on August 6, 2025. Listed with Ben Belack of Alex Everest, the records now show that the property has come under "contingent" offer.
"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," reads the listing.

Tim Curry's death

"So, I won't be singing, and I won't be dancing very soon. I still have real problems with my left leg."
