I never thought I’d say I’m in love with a gate, but here we are. Back in March 2016, my Los Angeles magazine editor assigned me a piece chronicling the locations from the then-new Netflix series Flaked. I got to work researching right away and one spot immediately stood out among the rest – the manse belonging to Chip’s (Will Arnett) estranged wife, Tilly (Heather Graham). Or I should say the gate of the manse belonging to Chip’s estranged wife, Tilly. The shiny blue wall of glass was impressive, to say the least, and I promptly labeled it a must-see. I finally made it out there last September and, though I briefly featured the pad in my L.A. mag article, figured it was worthy of a post all its own.

In person, Tilly’s gate did not disappoint!
Sleek, polished and striking, the reflective blue wall pretty much commands the street.
Spanning twelve feet, the enclosure is made up of Cobalt blue glass.
The rich coloring and sheer size of it make for some pretty arresting onscreen imagery.
While not visible from the street, the house that sits behind the gate is pretty darn impressive, as well. Designed by architect Paul McClean in 2014, the massive estate boasts 6 bedrooms, 8 baths 9,393 square feet of living space, white slab marble flooring, walls of glass, a chef’s kitchen with 2 islands, a built-in wine station and a coffee bar, a movie theatre, an atrium, a game room, a bar, a massive glass wine room, a cigar lounge, a gym with a steam room, a 0.56-acre lot, a courtyard, a 2-story fountain, outdoor living spaces, an outdoor kitchen, a negative-edge infinity pool, a spa, a BBQ, and panoramic views of Los Angeles, the Pacific Ocean, and Catalina. The ultra-modern estate is currently on the market for a cool $19,995,000. You can check out some interior photographs of it here.
A very traditional looking pad sat on the lot before McClean got his hands on it, as you can see in the Google Street View imagery from 2011 below.
While I much prefer the new house, the geometrically-paneled window that formerly overlooked the street is pretty darn spectacular.
The property pops up twice on Flaked – first in Season 1’s “Rose,” in the scene in which Chip visits Tilly, a massive television star, in the hopes that she can help him save his business.
Along with the gate, the home’s actual interior also appears in the scene.
Chip later returns to the pad in the episode titled “7th,” though Tilly refuses to let him in.
While Tilly makes an appearance in Flaked’s second season, sadly her fabulous residence does not.
The home’s real estate listing states, “Proven filming history provides substantial income for investors,” but, unfortunately, there is no specific mention of what productions have shot on the premises, so I am unsure if the place has any additional cameos on its resume.

Until next time, Happy Stalking! 
Stalk It: Tilly’s house from Flaked is located at 1620 Carla Ridge in Beverly Hills’ Trousdale Estates neighborhood.
