Winona Ryder In Los Angeles, Estate of the Day

Winona Ryder is moving on. The Real Estalker broke the news today that Ryder has listed her longtime home in Los Angeles. Ryder bought the 1936 Spanish-style home in 1998 for $2.6 million. According to Movieland Directory this home was also previously owned by model Angie Everhart and Elton John's songwriting partner Bernie Taupin.

This classic Los Angeles home has four bedrooms. While the home has clearly been staged for sale, we can get a good look at the bones of this property. Many of the original details are in place. Like the Real Estalker, I rather enjoy the vintage charm of the pink and blue tiled master bathroom. The home opens into a wide entry hall with a curving tiled staircase that has stained glass windows and large dark murals that appear to feature the Garden of Eden.

The home has a long formal living room with French doors that open to the backyard area and a corner fireplace with a carved wood mantel. There is also a dining room, and small tucked away pub room with a built in wet bar. The kitchen has exposed antique brick walls, white cabinetry and wide doors opening out to the yard.

The home and garage surround a bricked-in courtyard with an outdoor fireplace and leading to a kidney-shaped pool. This home is listed with Westside Estate Agency for $4.095 million. The property website is here.
