Alicia Kent’s House from “Bosch”

IMG_0715

I’m just gonna say it – Bosch is straight-up real estate porn!  There isn’t one residence that has been featured on the long-running Amazon police procedural that I wouldn’t want to live in!  The striking cantilevered cliffside abode belonging to Harry (Titus Welliver), Chief Irving’s (Lance Reddick) charming Spanish dwelling, and, in the latest season, the sleek mid-century modern home of (spoiler!) victim-turned-suspect Alicia Kent (Lynn Collins).  They are all perfection!  One look at the latter’s massive wooden double front doors, tiered front steps, and cement siding, and I was smitten!  So I set out to find it.

A “2647” address number was visible on the curb in front of the house in the Season 6 premiere, titled “The Overlook.”

And thanks to a view of the backyard shown in episode 4, “Part of the Deal,” I knew the pad was situated in the Hollywood Hills just below the Hollywood Sign.  So I started searching 2600 blocks in that area and quickly came across Alicia’s home at 2641 Lake Hollywood Drive.  As it turns out, the last digit of the address was changed from a “1 “to a “7” for the Bosch shoot.  Nice try, producers, but you have to wake up pretty early in the morning to fool me!

  In real life, the striking property boasts 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, 2,997 square feet of living space, an entrance atrium, floor-to-ceiling glass sliders, a media room, a fireplace, a maid’s room with a bath, a 0.43-acre lot, a large pool, a spa, and sweeping views of the Lake Hollywood Reservoir, Palos Verdes and downtown L.A.  You can check out some MLS photos of the interior from when it last sold in 2010 here.

Per building permits, both the interior and exterior of the 1965 pad were extensively remodeled in 2012.

Though dated, the place was pretty spectacular even then!

But today it is downright stunning!

Harry initially visits the house in “The Overlook” while performing an emergency welfare check on Alicia, the wife of a medical physicist whose murdered body has just been discovered.

The pad goes on to appear in several additional episodes of Season 6.

Bosch captured the home and all of its mid-century glory beautifully.

The place’s actual interior is also utilized on the show.  As you can see in the images below as compared to the 2010 MLS photos, the inside looks quite a bit different today than it did when the property last sold.

The incredible backyard is featured on Bosch, as well, and is, in my opinion, the showpiece of the entire house.

On a stalking side-note – My friend Shaun recently started a filming locations/pop culture landmarks/historical sites blog named All About Los Angeles.  I’ve long been a fan of his Instagram account and his photogenic way of showcasing the city’s many highlights.  Thanks to his unique interests, he has even managed to introduce me to countless new-to-me spots, which is saying a lot considering I’ve been at this crazy hobby a long time.  You can check out his new site here!
