Actor Simon Helberg’s Mediterranean Estate Makes a…

Actor Simon Helberg is best known for playing Howard Wolowitz on “The Big Bang Theory.” The character is a nerdy guy with questionable taste.

But offscreen, the actor lives in an ultrastylish Spanish Colonial in Los Angeles’ laid-back Loz Feliz neighborhood.

The house has been meticulously restored and redesigned by Nickey Kehoe, a prominent L.A. interior design firm.

And after living in the luxurious space for nearly four years, Helberg and actress wife Jocelyn Towne have listed the estate for $8,997,000.

Helberg bought the three-parcel property, once owned by actor Vince Vaughn, in 2019 for $6,871,119.

Tasteful estate

Originally developed in 1930, the spread includes a tasteful main residence and guesthouse, all teeming with Hollywood charm. The property has six bedrooms and 5.5 baths.

“It is incredibly rare to find such a private, largely flat three-quarters of an acre in the coveted Los Feliz Oaks—let alone a pristinely restored, 1920s Spanish with a pool and guesthouse,” says listing agent Elisa Rita, who is representing the property with fellow Compass agents, Anthony Stellini and Sherri Rogers. “You’ll find that no expense has been spared.”

The home’s wide oak and tile floors, French doors, balconies, exquisitely manicured grounds, unique light fixtures, hardware imported from England, and wooden built-ins are among its most enchanting features.

The kitchen is arranged with an island, a breakfast nook, marble and butcher block countertops, and custom cabinetry. Top-of-the-line appliances include a beautiful, black La Cornue range and a wine fridge.

There’s also an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, fireplace, and covered dining area that overlooks the saltwater pool.
