Helen Hunt Lists The Los Angeles Home She Has Owned For Over Two Decades For $15 Million

Integrity is a word attributed to a select few entertainers. Actress Helen Hunt is one, so it’s fitting that when choosing a place to live in Los Angeles in 2001, she picked a home that embodied the same ideals as she does.

“I wanted a house with history and architectural integrity,” she told The Wall Street Journal of her decision to purchase her 6,000-square-foot 1931 Spanish-style residence in 2001, which she is now putting on the market for $14.995 million. Purchased for $4.62 million, Hunt was drawn to the “stone floors brought to the U.S. from…France, thick beautiful stucco, plaster walls, and glorious archways.”

The actress, who won an Academy Award for “As Good As It Gets," completed several updates. These included adding a glass staircase to offer natural light and turning the pool house into a proper guesthouse.

Downsizing

Hunt’s listing comes after she purchased another Los Angeles area home earlier this year in Brentwood for $6.45 million, according to The Robb Report. The three-bedroom, four-bath home is almost 3,250 square feet on a single level and is a considerable downsize from the house she currently has listed. 

$1 Million Per Episode

Despite her big screen success, Hunt earned much of her fortune from the sitcom “Mad About You,” in which she starred with Paul Reiser. In its final season, which ended in 1999, both stars earned $1 million per episode, according to Forbes. The series saw Hunt garner four Emmy and three Golden Globe wins. By 1998, the news website listed Hunt’s net worth at $31 million, which has since increased significantly during her lengthy career, including 100 film and TV show starring roles.

Eschewing Fame

Despite her 90s success, Hunt says that the byproduct of fame was never something she coveted, telling The Guardian in 2022,  “There were a couple of years when I was a little spooked,” she said of the paparazzi attention following her Oscar win. “I was afraid that I could never unring that bell.”

Instead, Hunt has taken lesser roles and appeared on stage, a love that began with her father, an acting coach and theater director. “I didn’t even know if I wanted to be acting, singing, or directing. I just wanted to be in the building,” she told The Guardian. 

The Stage, TV, Movies and Documentaries

Hunt appeared on stage in Harold Pinter’s “Betrayal,” in Chicago earlier this year. She also recently appeared in the TV shows “Blindspotting,” on Starz, “Hacks,” on Max. She also recently starred in the short documentary, "USA Through Film," produced by the BBC. In it, Hunt takes viewers on a tour of El Paso, Texas, where she worked as a stage actress early in her career.
