‘Dawson Creek’s’ Meredith Monroe swaps Sherman Oaks for gated Calabasas

Actress Meredith Monroe of “Dawson’s Creek� fame and her husband, talent manager Steven Kavovit, have bought a home in Calabasas and put another in Sherman Oaks up for sale for $2.3 million.

On the buy side, the couple paid $1.92 million for a contemporary-style Mediterranean home in a gated community.

The roughly 5,000-square-foot house, styled in hardwood floors and beige hues, has a two-story foyer that opens to living, dining and family rooms. A center-island kitchen has a breakfast area with French doors that open to the grounds. There are five bedrooms, five bathrooms and three fireplaces in all.

Outdoors, a covered patio, outdoor kitchen and a swimming pool and spa take in canyon views.

Their Sherman Oaks home, listed as accepting backup offers, is a Spanish Revival-style house built in 1929. Updated and restored, the 3,000 square feet of interiors retains such vintage details as artful Malibu tile, wood beams and a hand-carved front door.

Large formal areas, a media room, a chef’s kitchen, four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms are among the living spaces.

A swimming pool with a Baja bench and an oversized spa lies within the hedged and fenced grounds.

The couple bought the property more than a decade ago for $400,000, records show.

Kara Karns of Keller Williams is the listing agent. Karns also represented the couple on their Calabasas purchase; Patte Gilbert of Wish Sotheby’s International Realty held the listing.

Monroe, 46, is known for her role as Andie McPhee on the series “Dawson’s Creek.� Here other credits include “Criminal Minds� and “Hart of Dixie.�
