Everyone knows actor Adam Goldberg has a knack for intense comedy and drama, but who knew he also had an affinity for preserving Mid-Century Modern architecture? It’s evident in the classic three-bedroom, three-bath home he’s just put on the market for $1.75 million.

“It’s his favorite architectural style, and he’s going to have a hard time leaving it,” says listing agent Samantha Cooper of Positano Realty.

Built in 1959, the 1,938-square-foot, three-level home in the Los Feliz Oaks neighborhood is perched on a hill with city-to-ocean views. The floor-to-ceiling windows throughout take full advantage of those views.

The sizable master bedroom and guest room on the third level have views of the treetops, giving the top floor a tree house-like effect.

Goldberg says you “feel as if you’re floating among the trees.” The master bedroom is likely Goldberg’s favorite room in the house, according to Cooper.

Cooper notes that there are “walls of windows everywhere that bring the outdoors in,” and they’re one of the home’s key features.

Public records show that Goldberg purchased the house in 2006 for $1.54 million, so he’s not looking to make a killing on the place. He’s pretty much preserved it, making small renovations like painting it inside and out, adding a state-of-the-art sound system, and replacing the roof. The kitchen and baths haven’t been changed much since he moved in.

It should be easy enough for the new owners to expand the home or add a pool, as it comes with a neighboring vacant lot. The entire lot measures 9,492 square feet, with some of it terraced.

The bulk of Goldberg’s work on the house was converting the garage to a music studio. Goldberg is also a guitarist and songwriter, having composed the music for two of the feature films he wrote, produced, directed, and edited: “I Love Your Work” and “Running With the Bulls.” He also provided a song for a film he starred in, “Hebrew Hammer,” and has released rock and jazz albums.

In addition to starring in films such as “Dazed and Confused,” “Saving Private Ryan,” and “A Beautiful Mind,” he’s also been a regular on a number of TV shows, including “Friends,” “Entourage,” “The Jim Gaffigan Show,” and “Fargo.”
