Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick Moving To LA From NYC?

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick just bought an architectural house for $2.5 million in Los Angeles. Does this mean the Hollywood couple are moving from their Upper West Side Manhattan home of two decades? Hard to say. By all accounts, they got a good deal on the two-bedroom house in the oh-so-hip Los Feliz neighborhood. And it would seem that the property, at 2,760 square feet, is a bit on the modest size for stars who get as much work as these two, unless a major remodel is planned. For a long while, Sedgwick rented out Julianna Margulies' Santa Monica home, which sold for around $4 million in 2008.

The house that Bacon and Sedgwick bought in a blind trust was built in 1957. It's a midcentury modern, sort of, with lots of wood, glass and steel. There is a marble-and-wood-lined staircase and rows of windows that let in plenty of natural light. The yard has a pool, spa and an outdoor kitchen, and there is a third-level rooftop patio. Our money says the remodeling crew is about to attack in full force before you see the duo parking their bedroom slippers in the master suite.

Bacon most recently played Sebastian Shaw in the 2011 "X-Men: First Class." Golden Globe and Emmy winner Sedgwick, who may have a stronger need to live in Los Angeles, stars in TNT’s crime drama "The Closer."

What's not to like?
Great neighborhood, good outdoor space, you can see the Observatory, and best of all this home is an INTERESTING SPACE TO BE, which is something many homes are not, especially in LA.
I like this home a lot!
Congrats kids, Madoff can't steal your taste and can't steal your values!

I love their taste. Much nicer than Paula Abdul's overwrought house.

Ms Sedgwich/Mr Bacon,

I would like to humbly submit my application for any household position you may have open. Majordomo would be at the top of my list. Please contact me through my Commenter Name at Huffington Post.

LOVE!

(the cd storage hall is amazing, but nearly obsolete)

It's my understanding the Bacon and Sedgewick got burned by Madoff so I can understand being cautious. That being said, I would hardly call this architectural jewel "modest". It's Modernist but it's not small. Love Los Feliz and what a view of the Griffith Park Observatory! Yay them!

And they say all the rich people are leaving California because it's got too high taxes.

They're wrong again.

Only 2 brs. and 2760 sf that's not an easy resell.
At least add 1 more bedroom.
