Actress Natalie Martinez cuts loose from Mellenthin-built home in Sherman Oaks

Actress Natalie Martinez, who stars on the ABC thriller series “The Crossing,� has sold her gated home in Sherman Oaks for $1.315 million.

She bought the property three years ago for about $1.039 million, records show.

The charming two-story Traditional home is one of many designed by developer William Mellenthin, who built thousands of single-family homes in the San Fernando Valley over a career spanning three decades.

Built in 1956, the brick-trimmed house displays details often associated with Mellenthin, including pitched rooflines, indoor-outdoor living spaces and rambling common areas. A dovecote-inspired birdhouse feature — a signature of the developer — creates visual interest above the garage.

Inside, the roughly 3,400 square feet of living space has vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, built-ins and a brick fireplace in the living room. The master suite — one of four bedrooms and 2.75 bathrooms — has a balcony overlooking the backyard.

Doors off the living and dining rooms open to a large patio space with an outdoor fireplace. The swimming pool and spa were recently redone.

The property originally came to market in February for $1.349 million and sold in about two months, records show.

Mica Rabineau of Nourmand & Associates was the listing agent. Susanna Nagy of Keller Williams Realty represented the buyer.

Martinez, 33, is known for her role in Paul W.S. Anderson’s 2008 action film “Death Race.� Her television credits include the shows “Detroit 1-8-7,� “CSI: NY� and “Under the Dome.�
