Actor Simon Helberg is best known for playing Howard Wolowitz on The Big Bang Theory. The character is a nerdy guy with questionable taste.

But offscreen, the actor lives in an ultrastylish Spanish Colonial in Los Angeles’ laid-back Loz Feliz neighborhood.

The house has been meticulously restored and redesigned by Nickey Kehoe, a prominent L.A. interior design firm.

And after living in the luxurious space for nearly four years, Helberg and actress wife Jocelyn Towne have listed the estate for $8,997,000.

Helberg bought the three-parcel property, once owned by actor Vince Vaughn, in 2019 for $6,871,119.

Originally developed in 1930, the spread includes a tasteful main residence and guesthouse, all teeming with Hollywood charm. The property has six bedrooms and 5.5 baths.

“It is incredibly rare to find such a private, largely flat three-quarters of an acre in the coveted Los Feliz Oaks—let alone a pristinely restored, 1920s Spanish with a pool and guesthouse,” says listing agent Elisa Rita, who is representing the property with fellow Compass agents, Anthony Stellini and Sherri Rogers. “You’ll find that no expense has been spared.”

The home’s wide oak and tile floors, French doors, balconies, exquisitely manicured grounds, unique light fixtures, hardware imported from England, and wooden built-ins are among its most enchanting features.

The kitchen is arranged with an island, a breakfast nook, marble and butcher block countertops, and custom cabinetry. Top-of-the-line appliances include a beautiful, black La Cornue range and a wine fridge.

There’s also an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, fireplace, and covered dining area that overlooks the saltwater pool.

According to Rita, the property has “the indoor-outdoor flow every buyer craves.”

The grounds extend beyond the flat lawn and lush gardens, to a terraced hillside with an orchard of fruit trees, wildflowers, and seating areas. This remarkable space is even designated a certified monarch butterfly way station.

Monarch butterflies migrate to Southern California annually, between mid-October and February, to spend the season in groves. Those who know the glory of the monarch migration understand that a way station is an invaluable asset.

The estate exudes gracious, old-world charm. But modern features, such as a reverse-osmosis water filtration system, a tankless water heater, hardwired internet, seven-camera security system, and invisible speakers have been added.

Helberg, 42, was born into the entertainment industry—his father is an actor, and his mother is a casting director. In the early 2000s, he performed with comedian Derek Waters in the sketch-comedy duo, Derek and Simon. Helberg had small movie roles in Van Wilder, Old School, and Good Night, and Good Luck, before landing his seminal role on The Big Bang Theory.

Helberg’s film career has also flourished. He received critical acclaim for his performance with Meryl Streep in Florence Foster Jenkins and starred opposite Adam Driver in the musical Annette.
