'Fargo' Actor Adam Arkin Offers Studio City House for $1.1M
"Fargo" actor Adam Arkin is saying goodbye to his Los Angeles home.
Arkin, who also appeared in "Chicago Hope," "Sons of Anarchy" and "Masters of Sex," offers his Studio City house for nearly $1.1 million, Los Angeles Times reported.
The seasoned actor, who has noticeable gray locks and is often mistaken for the "Batman & Robin" lead George Clooney, purchased the property for only $590,000 in 1999, noted the site. Thus, the 59-year-old celebrity must be excited parting with this hideaway house as it will give him almost double in investment return. The actor-director commissioned Jory Burton of Sotheby's International Realty as his listing agent for the Los Angeles property.
The nearly 1,800-square-foot residence sitting on 0.75 acres of California land features three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The dwelling place also includes a living room, a family room, a kitchen with a dining area and a home office.
The Studio City abode prides itself for the wonderful canyon views it will provide for its new residents, which can be comfortably viewed via wide and huge windows.
The interior of the ranch-themed private home built in the late 1950s, also boasts cozy living areas, courtesy of a fireplace and an airy ambiance contributed by vaulted ceilings. The property also provides its future owners with a seamless indoor-outdoor experience via its patio, which can be accessed from the family area.
Outdoors, the sprawling yard is dotted with mature trees while a swimming pool completes it.
A respected director
Arkin, a three-time Emmy Award nominee, is not just a great actor but also a good director. In his interview with Vulture, he said that he became "used to" directing himself but his stint on "Masters of Sex" was rather challenging.
"Directing and acting on 'Masters' was a little challenging because it was the first time I directed myself on a show that I hadn't established a character on already. That was a little bit more daunting than previous experiences I had. The cast was getting to know me in two different roles simultaneously, so I was conscious of whether they were comfortable," Arkin noted.
However, his job as a director in "Masters of Sex" really worked out, basing on the statements of the show executive Sarah Timberman.
"For a show like 'Masters' that is so performance-based, where there's so much subtext and nuance involved, Adam makes for an ideal director. As an actor himself, he thinks about material from the inside out," Timberman told Variety.
