Dennis Lehane, whose dark and twisty novels have won him accolades, is looking for a buyer to write him an offer on his lovely Los Angeles home. The asking price is $3,295,000.
Lehane penned “Gone, Baby, Gone” and “Mystic River,” among other titles. He purchased the property in 2020 for $2,395,000 and could make a bundle, if he lands anywhere near a full-price deal.
The almost 4,700-square-foot, five-bedroom, six-bath, Mediterranean-style dwelling is situated in the sought-after Kentwood neighborhood.

The home sports a traditional interior design, with some strong California-casual vibes. Light and airy rooms, large windows, a white palette, and soft textures give the space a sleek, upscale aesthetic.
A fireplace and elegant mantle grace the living room, while the kitchen is well-outfitted with a huge island, wine fridge, and seating for five. There are also double sinks, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances.
The main bedroom is a serene retreat with a large walk-in closet, marble bathroom, and a soaking tub beneath an opaque window.
The home is made for entertaining, thanks to a personal screening room, flex room with yoga-studio potential, and a wet bar on the lower level.
A courtyard behind the home offers a lagoon-style pool, spa, and patio with stone detailing, all flanked by swaying palm trees. Massive hedges cocoon the rear area, smartly hiding it from prying eyes.

With more than a dozen novels to his name, Lehane has also put his talents to work on the small screen. He was a staff writer on the hit series “The Wire” and a writer-producer for “Boardwalk Empire.”
Lehane has even helped fellow writers with their television adaptations, including one for Stephen King’s “Mr. Mercedes.” His latest novel, “Small Mercies,” is out now.
