Thandie Newton’s LA Home Hits The Market

Located in the rural Los Angeles County community of Topanga Canyon Westworld star Thandie Newton's residence has surfaced for sale. The rustic yet chic abode in the foothills above Malibu is going for a smidge under $4.2 million, with the listing held by John Galich of Sotheby’s International Realty.

Records show the veteran film and TV actress acquired the property in September 2022 for $2.6 million from fashion designer-turned-astrologist Lily Ashwell and then promptly turned around and transferred the place in January 2023. Before that, the celeb-pedigreed digs were occupied by married actors Julianne Nicholson and Jonathan Cake.

Originally built in the 1970s, the timber-clad structure is tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac in the “climate-perfect” Fernwood neighbourhood, amid two plots of land spanning over a third of an acre. Inside, four bedrooms and five baths are filtered across roughly 3,000 square feet of multi-level living space that’s been revamped by a former set designer and architectural preservation specialist, per marketing materials.

Upon entering the front door via a shrubbery-lined walkway, an entry foyer displaying a curving staircase flows to a double-height living room sporting a 20-foot rock fireplace. Walls of glass frame picturesque views of the Santa Monica Mountains. An adjacent dining area connects to the kitchen, which is outfitted with ceramic countertops, open shelving, a breakfast bar, and a vintage range. An expansive wraparound deck is also accessible from both the living room and kitchen.

The England-born actress, who appeared in the films Crash and The Pursuit of Happyness and snagged an Emmy Award in 2018 for her role as android Maeve Millay in the HBO series Westworld, has reportedly gone on to buy a historic home in London to renovate and make her primary residence.
