Lavin, best known for her starring role in the CBS sitcom Alice, had a career spanning over six decades in television, film, and theater. She and her husband, actor Steve Bakunas, purchased the property in May 2022, and it remained their home until her passing on December 29, 2024, at the age of 87.

Built in 1927, the residence showcases a timeless Spanish Revival aesthetic, blending original architectural details with thoughtful updates. A private gated entrance leads to a lush yard, while inside, hardwood floors, Saltillo tile, and classic archways add to its character. Large mullion and picture windows bathe the interiors in natural light, complementing the home’s historic appeal.

The 2,006-square-foot home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a spacious living area centered around a striking fireplace. The kitchen, one of the home’s standout features, highlights handcrafted Talavera tiles, reclaimed wood cabinetry, and a hammered copper sink, alongside Thermador appliances. A charming breakfast nook offers garden views, reinforcing the home’s connection to its natural surroundings.
