Actor Ron Glass, known as the stylish, savvy detective Ron Harris on the “Barney Miller” sitcom and the devout Christian preacher on the sci-fi TV drama “Firefly” (and its sequel film “Serenity”) died of respiratory failure last month. He was 71.

Now, the late actor’s hilltop home in the Los Feliz Oaks neighborhood of Los Angeles is on the market for $1.85 million.

The 2,138-square-foot, two-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom, Mid-Century Modern home isn’t exceedingly spacious by Hollywood standards, but it is remarkably well-situated. It sits on a hill with views from downtown L.A. to Century City to the Pacific Ocean. There’s an oversize wraparound balcony that takes full advantage of those incomparable views.

Built in 1959, the home has been “meticulously maintained and upgraded,” according to listing agent Alison Whitaker of Sotheby’s International Realty–Beverly Hills Brokerage.

The original stacked-stone accent walls and fireplace are in pristine condition. The kitchen isn’t large, but its layout, adjacent and open to the dining area and den, lends itself to easy expansion.

Both the guest bedroom and the master bedroom have access to the wraparound balcony. The master bedroom features a walk-in closet and master bathroom.

Perhaps the peaceful feeling of the place comes from the fact that Glass was a devout Buddhist and an active member of the SGI-USA Friendship Center in Los Angeles. The actor took a number of roles with religious themes, including the aforementioned “Shepherd” on “Firefly,” God’s cousin Rod on the short-lived series “Teen Angel,” and as a soul-collecting devil in an episode of the revived “Twilight Zone.”
