‘Wednesday’ Star Riki Lindhome’s Midcentury L.A. Home Lists for $2.8 Million
Riki Lindhome reconnected with her longtime friend Fred Armisen around four years ago when they were both starring in the Netflix show Wednesday as a therapist and Uncle Fester, respectively. Romance soon sparked for the fellow actors and comedians—she best known as one-half of the satirical music duo Garfunkel and Oates, and he an SNL alum and a co-creator of Portlandia—and they wound up tying the knot at a small courthouse ceremony in June 2022. Lindhome, who had been planning on becoming a single mom, welcomed her son, Keaton, via a surrogate three months before the wedding.
Though Lindhome and Armisen ultimately settled in a French Normandy-style spread in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles that they bought from producer Lauren Lexton in 2022 for $4.3 million, she’s hung on to an alluring midcentury-modern abode in Culver City that she picked up in 2019 for $2.3 million. Now, after renting the post-and-beam pad for a few years, she’s decided to part ways with it for a dash under $2.8 million. Debbie Weiss of Compass holds the listing.

“This extraordinary home spoke to me immediately,” said Lindhome in a press statement. “I felt like it was a time capsule in the heart of Los Angeles, and just so special. The moment I walked through the door I felt an instant connection, a pull that told me that this was the one…it was really love at first sight. This home became my sanctuary. As I prepare to pass it on to its next caretaker, I hope they’ll feel the same spark I did!”
Sited off a private street and gated driveway, on a hilltop parcel spanning a third of an acre with picturesque views stretching from downtown L.A. to the Hollywood Hills, the dark wood-sided structure was built more than six decades ago, in the early 1960s. Thoughtfully preserved and modernized, it features four bedrooms and three baths in roughly 2,300 square feet of single-level, L-shaped living space filled with wall-to-wall wood, original built-ins, and exposed-beamed ceilings dotted with skylights.
The private and decked backyard is spotlighted by a revamped saltwater pool.

Standing out is a soaring vaulted living room wrapped with expansive walls of glass. A combined family room and dining area is anchored by a wood-burning brick fireplace, while the kitchen has a breakfast table extending from a center island and a pass-through window connecting to an outdoor bar alongside a renovated saltwater pool and a fire pit. Back inside, an en suite primary is joined by two side-by-side bedrooms, plus a guest bedroom set up as an office.
An added bonus: The property is also just minutes away from Blair Hills Park, the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, Stoneview Nature Center, Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, and Park to Playa Trail.
