Katey Sagal's House on the Market

The actress is selling her very Hollywood Hills mansion for $4.3 million.

Forget Peg Bundy, the cigarette-smoking and sex-starved housewife with an eye for trashy fashion and tacky furniture. In real life, Katey Sagal is a sophisticated actor and singer with a smart sense of style and a lovely, well-dressed home in a secluded cul-de-sac in the Hollywood Hills.

Sagal, who currently stars on Sons of Anarchy and voices the character Turanga Leela on the long-running animated series Futurama, shares her home with her writer/producer husband Kurt Sutter. Property records show that Sagal and Sutter scooped up their 1937 half-timber mock-Tudor style mansion for $3.7 million in the summer of 2005, shortly after they were married.










In early 2010, the Sutter-Sagals put their 7,200-square-foot mansion on the market for a reported $4.9 million. A few months -- and price chops -- later, the asking price for their six-bedroom, eight-bathroom dwelling is $4,325,000. The airy formal living room has dark chestnut-colored hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a semi-circular bump-out with a grand piano that opens out to the terraces. And oh yeah, an unobstructed view of San Fernando Valley's city lights. Nice, right?



The wood floors and panoramic view extend into the formal dining room with rough-hewn exposed wood beams, multi-paned floor-to-ceiling windows and a traditional dining set. We love the juxtaposition of classic furnishings with a contemporary drum-shaped chandelier shot through by a tube of glowing crystals.



The heart of the home is the slate-floored gourmet kitchen. Here, you'll find high-grade appliances, white glass-fronted cabinetry and a mix of butcher block and decorative blue-and-white tile countertops and back splash. (Those tiles are also used on the fireplace in the adjacent sitting area.)



The library, painted a bold and brave Chinese red, is only one of a few casual family gathering spaces. Others include a media room with a soaring vaulted ceiling, and a cozy family room with heavy exposed beams, a fireplace and French doors that open to one of the many terraces that surround the house.



A fully-equipped fitness room ensures that Sagal stays in camera-ready shape. Another celeb-worthy perk: A guest apartment with kitchen is perfect for live-in staff, extended family or guests.



While it's minutes from everything LA has to offer -- including the film and television studios in Burbank -- the property seems a million miles away. Encompassing almost three-quarters of an acre of rugged terrain with quiet, shaded patios, the house boasts brick and gravel paths that meander down and around the hillside. Tucked down below the house and swimming pool are a sport court and a custom-built tree house that's larger than some Manhattan studio apartments.



A multi-level brick terrace wraps around the back of the house and steps down to a boomerang-shaped infinity-edged swimming pool and spa with decorative Spanish tile. The hillside location offers supreme privacy and jaw-dropping views of the mountains during the day and the sparkle of the city lights at night.
