A wealthy individual now has the opportunity to lease the former Los Angeles residence previously owned by actors Emily Blunt and John Krasinski for $30,000 monthly. The couple briefly possessed the five-bedroom Mid-Century Modern home in the Hollywood Hills from 2014 to 2016, before relocating from Southern California to New York City. Property records indicate they sold the residence to an executive from an entertainment agency for $3.5 million. According to the listing managed by Compass agent Ruben Perez, the single-story brick house, constructed in 1965, has undergone some renovations and modernizations, while retaining many characteristics of its era. The property boasts expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and a minimalist interior with exposed post-and-beam construction, as depicted in the provided images.
There’s a saltwater pool in the backyard.
Last week, the residence was put up for rent, despite being listed for sale at $5.999 million since March, also under the supervision of Mr. Perez. Describing the property as a “serene sanctuary,” a spokesperson for the brokerage highlighted its appeal when it was initially listed for sale.
The home is secluded behind a privacy hedge.
The forthcoming resident will indeed enjoy A-list level privacy along with the Hollywood legacy. Situated on a cul-de-sac off the favored Mulholland Drive, the residence is shielded by a privacy hedge.
The dining room is open to the kitchen and living room.
Spanning approximately one-third of an acre, the secluded hilltop lot features a backyard with a saltwater pool and breathtaking vistas of the mountains and city skyline, as noted in the listing. Outdoor amenities comprise a flagstone patio, a fountain, and a covered loggia.
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski owned the home from 2014-16.
Characterized by mid-century architecture, the home boasts a typical open floor plan with an L-shaped main living space encompassing the dining room, kitchen, and a sunken living room with a high pitched ceiling. An office could easily be transformed into a den or fifth bedroom. Presently arranged, the four bedrooms include a primary suite with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, along with three additional smaller bedrooms, one of which has its own bathroom.
Multiple outdoor seating areas include this covered patio off the living room.
Following the purchase of the home by Dell Furano, an entertainment executive, from Ms. Blunt and Mr. Krasinski via a trust in 2016, Mr. Furano passed away in 2021 at the age of 71. Public records indicate that his estate is now selling the property.

Reflecting national patterns, the real estate market in the Sunset Strip-Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles has experienced a slowdown since last year. However, limited inventory has led to continued price growth. According to the most recent market report from Douglas Elliman, released last week, the median home price in the neighborhood rose by 8% annually in the first quarter of this year, reaching $4.48 million, despite a decrease of more than one-third in total sales.
