Cahuenga Pass home built for Disney artists gets a Hollywood ending

Actor Graham Phillips of “The Good Wife� fame has bought a home in Studio City for $1.6 million.

Designed by Harwell Hamilton Harris and built in 1939, the wood-clad residence is named for its original owners Mary and Lee Blair. Mary Blair was an animator and concept artist for Walt Disney Co. and worked on Disneyland’s “It’s a Small World� attraction. Lee Blair, a watercolorist and animator, worked on the films “Pinocchio,� “Fantasia� and “Saludos Amigos.�

Set up from the street, among mature trees and landscaping, the multilevel house has picture windows and bi-folding doors that take in the leafy setting. Its 1,245 square feet includes an open living room with a brick fireplace, an updated kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom. A wine cellar sits off the front entry.

A stairway leads up to the artist’s former studio. Terraces and a rooftop patio create additional living space outside, and a funicular helps navigate the steep lot.

The property previously sold a year ago for $1.5 million, records show. It had been listed for $1.6 million.

Phillips, 24, has film credits that include “Evan Almighty� (2007), “Goats� (2011) and “Staten Island Summer� (2015). He will have a recurring role in the upcoming season of CW’s “Riverdale.�

Heidi Lake of Sotheby’s International Realty was the listing agent. Robert Walters and Brandon Welsh of Leland Properties represented the buyer, according to the MLS.
