The latest news to hit the SFV Celebrity Real Estate gossip is the listing of a Studio City home by Kathy Najimy for $1,875,000 on March 4, 2013 according to the fine folks at Trulia Luxe Living. Najimy is a longtime actress first starting in 1985 with notable roles in Sister Act I & II, Hocus Pocus, and a variety of other films. Najimy also provides voice overs in films like WALL-E, Stuart Little: The Animated Series, and Hercules: The Animated Series.
The home measures 4 Beds/3 Baths on 3,409 sqft on a total lot size of 0.98 acres built in 1978. The listing description states:
The location and site are phenomenal. One story gated and private custom home located just off Mulholland Drive with easy access to many studios in a great neighborhood. The home is set way back off the street for privacy with the potential to park 10 cars. Extremely private with explosive city light views from most rooms of the house, including from the grassy area, pool & spa. Great ceiling height in the public rooms with head-on city views. Great for entertaining with indoor/outdoor flow, this home can be lived in and enjoyed as is, or take the house up to the next level and make it your own. 4 bedrooms with one of the bedrooms being used as a great office with built-ins and also has city views. Garage is being used for additional creative space with additional recording room area. Property is especially suited well for someone in need of privacy. 24 hours notice needed to show.
Najimy purchased this home on September 30, 1994 for $550,000 which if sold at today's asking price represents a massive gain of $1,325,000 before taxes, commissions, carrying costs, and any renovation costs.
Prior to this home, Najimy may have lived in Burbank on North Buena Street but this is just speculation. We are not sure where Najimy is moving to but I am assuming near the Studios which could mean Burbank, Toluca Lake, Studio City, or Sherman Oaks.
