Back in 2004, while he was starring as Al Bundy in Married… with Children, Ed O'Neill doled out $2.6 million for a Los Angeles home in the horse-friendly Sullivan Canyon community on the border of Brentwood and Pacific Palisades. A few years later, after he snagged the role of Jay Pritchett in Modern Family, the actor and his longtime actress wife Catherine Rusoff picked up a second place nearby for $3 million. Now the couple has put the first-mentioned residence up for sale at a smidge under $6.7 million with Nancie Richards of Core Real Estate Group.
Set on almost a third of an acre off historic Old Ranch Road, the hacienda-style structure was designed by architects Cliff May, widely touted as the 'father of the California ranch house,' and Chris Choate in the early 1950s. Tucked down a private lane that leads to a motor court and two-car garage, the single-level house sports four bedrooms and three baths in almost 3,200 square feet of living space infused with light via walls of glass and skylights. Filtered throughout is a mix of terracotta and wide-plank wood floors, plaster walls, and wood-beam ceilings.

A pair of tall, access-controlled wood doors next to the garage lead to an enclosed courtyard that serves as an entry into the home's U-shaped layout, where highlights include a sunken fireside living room with a built-in window seat and an adjacent family room anchored by an eye-catching raised-hearth fireplace. The dining room comes with a third fireplace, while a modernized galley kitchen is outfitted with Viking and Sub-Zero appliances.
A separate wing holds an office and an attractive primary suite, which features yet another fireplace and sliding glass doors spilling out to a patio, as well as a walk-in closet with its own safe and a bath spotlighted by a pedestal soaking tub.

In addition to a standalone wine cave, the lush greenery-encased grounds also host numerous spots ideal for alfresco lounging and dining and a pool with a spa and water slide. A bamboo-laced pathway meanders its way to a meditation garden lorded over by a Buddha statue.
As for O'Neill and Rusoff's other house down the street, the couple acquired that two-bedroom, two-bath spread from cinematographer Robert Richardson in 2011 for just over $3 million. Designed by the aforementioned Cliff May in 1953 as his personal residence (and known as the Experimental Ranch House), the 3,165-square-foot abode was restored and refined by Marmol Radziner during Richardson's ownership.Best of Robb Report
