Nicholas Hoult is ready to part ways with his cool mid-century retreat in Los Angeles.
The X-Men and The Great star just listed his 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home in the coveted Outpost Estates neighborhood for $2,849,000. Nestled at the end of a quiet private road, the property boasts iconic mid-century architecture with modern updates — and the kind of poolside views that practically scream L.A. living.
Built with a signature butterfly roof and wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, the house captures sweeping treetop vistas and downtown skyline views. It’s a serene escape in the hills, but still just minutes from the action.
Listed with Nikki Joel and Emma Baker of The Agency, the 2,341-square-foot home is a rare find in one of L.A.’s most sought-after hillside neighborhoods. And yes, there’s a pool.

A classic mid-century in Outpost Estates
Perched above the city in a historic enclave known for its celebrity pedigree, the home is tucked into the hillside on a quiet, private street.
That sense of seclusion is paired with iconic architectural lines, including the butterfly roofline that defines the home’s facade.
A stylish blend of past and present
While true to its mid-century roots, Nicholas Holt’s house also features sleek finishes and modern updates throughout, making it both timeless and turnkey. Its architectural details are preserved, but nothing about the home feels dated.
Living room with a skyline backdrop
At the center of the home is a dramatic, light-filled living room with floor-to-ceiling glass that frames the view like a moving painting. The space flows easily into the dining area and kitchen, all part of an open-plan design that makes the most of the California sun.
A kitchen built for modern living
Sleek, remodeled, and fully open, the kitchen blends form and function. Clean cabinetry lines and integrated appliances offer modern convenience, while the layout keeps the space connected to the rest of the living areas.
Floating stairs lead to quiet quarters
A sculptural floating staircase anchors the home and leads to the sleeping quarters below. The lower level houses all three bedrooms, offering a private, tucked-away feel perfect for winding down.
A primary suite with a private deck
The spacious primary suite opens directly to a private deck — a quiet corner for coffee in the morning or stargazing at night. It’s a true owner’s retreat, made even better by direct access to the pool and yard below.
A poolside setup made for entertaining
Step outside and you’re in full resort mode. The entertainer’s backyard includes a sparkling pool, multiple lounge areas, and lush landscaping. Whether it’s a daytime hang or a cocktail-hour gathering, the setup invites you to stay a while.
Nicholas Hoult’s Hollywood hideaway
Hoult, who you may have seen recently in Renfield, Netflix’s cheeky take on the Dracula story where he starred alongside Nicolas Cage, is a prolific English actor with an impressive resume on both sides of the Atlantic.
Best known for his portrayal of Hank McCoy (aka Beast) in the X-Men franchise, Hoult has also earned critical acclaim for roles in The Favourite, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Hulu’s satirical period drama The Great.
While the Los Angeles mid-century retreat has served as his stateside sanctuary, Hoult also owns property back in his native England, including a countryside estate in Berkshire. Known for his quiet, low-key lifestyle off-screen, Hoult’s homes seems to lean towards privacy and a connection to nature — if his striking hillside hideaway in Outpost Estates is any indication.
