Get inspired by actress Christina Ricci's charming L.A. home, just listed for $2.2 million

By Lisa Johnson Mandell

The sunny 1956-era home has been fully renovated

Christina Ricci, who is currently starring in the plane-crash series "Yellowjackets," just listed her traditional Woodland Hills home in Los Angeles for $2,249,000.

The actress, known for playing characters with a bit of an edge, purchased the serene, four-bedroom, four-bath luxury house in 2018 for $1.1 million.

She then tackled a meticulous renovation of the 1956-era home with the help of celebrity designer Jeff Lewis, who featured the project on his Amazon (AMZN) Freevee series "Hollywood Houselift with Jeff Lewis."

Ricci first tapped the designer to do a few rooms in her house for an episode of the series and was so thrilled with the results she called him back to do the rest of the property.

"Jeff and I basically ended up partnering on doing the entirety of my house," Ricci told Us Magazine. "And then we're going to look for future opportunities to flip houses together."

But in the meantime, she's listing the 2,718-square-foot home they last worked on together. It's set in the private, leafy enclave in the upscale Woodland Hills neighborhood.

New skylights illuminate both stories of the two-level home, as do a number of new windows and French doors.

An interesting, double-sided fireplace serves as a partial divider between the living room and kitchen in the great room.

And that gorgeously redone kitchen features new custom cabinetry and marble countertops, open wood shelving, new JennAir appliances (including a professional-style gas range), a convenient microwave drawer, an under-counter beverage fridge, and a prep island with seating.

The primary suite sits on the second floor, with French doors leading out to a balcony. And the fun-yet-elegant primary bath is decked out with marble-tiled floors, a glass shower, standalone tub, brass fixtures and hardware, and cheerful flowered wallpaper.

The remaining three bedrooms and bathrooms are on the home's lower level.

The lot measures .28 acres and is well planned out, with a kidney-shaped pool and stone decking, green lawns, numerous meandering pathways, conversation areas, a waterfall, and a pond.

Ricci, 44, stars in the much-celebrated Showtime drama "Yellowjackets," which has been renewed for a third season. The petite actress has been acting since she was 9, appearing in the film "Mermaids," then making a breakout as Wednesday Addams in the 1990s film "The Addams Family" and its sequel, "Addams Family Values."

Ricci recently returned to the Addams Family fold, in the Tim Burton-directed Netflix (NFLX) hit series "Wednesday," in which she played Wednesday Addams' teacher.

And there might even be a reno series with Jeff Lewis in Ricci's future.

"There's no concrete plans, but I had a lot of fun ..." she told Us of her work with the designer. "I think it'd be really fun for us to have our own TV show."

Mercedes Javid, of The Agency, holds the listing.
