Via the ever informed property scouts on Variety’s “Dirt” page, today’s Celebrity Home of the Week is actor Goran Visnjic’s Mediterranean villa just above the Sunset Strip in the Hollywood Hills. Current asking price for the 1930s built home is $4.85 million.
Resting on a raised but flat quarter-acre parcel at the base of the famous Bird Streets, the nearly 4,000 square foot home offers four bedrooms and four and a half baths. The home’s Mediterranean vibe comes not only from its classic architecture, but its bright red-orange Venetian plaster finish, dark green shutters, wrought iron railings and terracotta tiled roof.
High walls and a security gate enclose the grounds in privacy. The front courtyard greets guests with checkerboard tile, a two-tiered fountain and an impressive and inviting arched wood and metal front door.
That door opens opens to a central foyer where there are more tiled floors and more wrought iron on the railed staircase.
An open doorway with custom painting tiling leads to a built-in and French door filled library, the first of many rooms that open onto the pool-filled courtyard.
The large formal living room centers around a carved stone fireplace. Three arches on the open back wall separate another lounge area where French doors lead to the pool.
An adjoining and open dining room provides indoor-outdoor flow and kitchen access.
That kitchen is anchored by a center island. Slab stone countertops and custom cabinetry compliment the professional level stainless steel appliances.
On the upper floor, all three guest and family bedrooms offer their own ensuite bathrooms.
The roomy master has vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and a fireplace.
Even more impressive are the master suite’s additional spaces. A yoga and meditation room, a tiled sun porch and sitting area that looks out on the backyard, and a large and luxurious master bath with double vanity, separate steam shower and a soaking tub. 
Outdoors you’ll find more inviting spaces for lounging, dining and entertaining. A “dining loggia” offers a built-in barbecue.
A truly unique Moroccan-style lounge has bench seating, warm lighting and hand-painted wall murals.
All of this opens to the terrace surrounding a dark-bottomed swimming pool, above which sits a small but flat grass yard shaded by trees.
The Croatian born Visnjic is most famous for his long running stint on “E.R.”, where he had the unenviable task of replacing George Clooney. But Visnjic more than held his own and has flourished as a television star, currently holding down the male lead in Steven Spielberg produced and Halle Berry starring summer sci-fi hit series “Extant”.
