Kirsten Dunst’s Toluca Lake
home is staying in Hollywood
hands. Actress Annie Pottswas
the buyer of the two-story, which
sold last week for $4.55 million.
Potts, known for her role as
secretary Janine Melnitz in the
original “Ghostbusters” films,
must have liked what she saw in
the place. The Cape Cod-inspired
house went under contract just
nine days after it hit the market in
June for $4.7 million.
The lakefront property has
plenty to offer, from the charming
fenced frontyard to the tiered
backyard with a custom-built
gazebo, swimming pool and pri-
vate dock.
Inside, abundant windows add
shades of green to artsy living
spaces full of crisp white walls and
light hardwood floors. Wainscot-
ing and eye-catching chandeliers
touch up the living and dining
rooms, while the center-island
kitchen adds custom cabinetry
and generous doses of marble.
Other main-level highlights
include a foyer with a sweeping
staircase and a family room full of
French doors, which open to a
brick patio with an outdoor
kitchen and fire pit.
The massive master suite sits
upstairs and expands to include a
whitewashed bathroom and a
covered balcony with a view of the
lake. A total of five bedrooms and
4.5 bathrooms lie within the 4,333-
square-foot interior.
Dunst, 37, has scores of credits
dating from the 1990s. As a 12-year-
old, she received a Golden Globe
nomination for “Interview with the
Vampire,” and her notable roles
since include “The Virgin Suicid-
es,” “Eternal Sunshine of the Spot-
less Mind,” “Melancholia” and
Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man” trilogy.
Potts, 66, received a Golden
Globe nomination for 1978’s
“Corvette Summer.” Over the
years, she’s also starred in “Pretty
in Pink,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and
“Designing Women.” More re-
cently, she has appeared on the
sitcom “Young Sheldon” and had a
voice role in “Toy Story 4.”

gated grounds, which feature anabundance of gardens and water
features across a quarter of an
acre. At the center sits a single-
story home built in 1953.
Draped in ivy, the house holds
two bedrooms, two bathrooms
