Having just listed his newish digs in New Canaan, Conn., actor Christopher Meloni—a.k.a. Law and Order: SVU's Elliot Stabler or True Blood's Roman Zimojic—seems to be trading one affluent suburb for another, having just inked a lease on a Spanish-style compound in Beverly Hills. It's technically unknown how much, precisely, Detective Stabler Meloni is paying for the 6,000-square-foot home, though The Real Estalker says the property was put on the market earlier in April for $19,500 a month. While certainly not the most celebrity-pedigreed palace in SoCal, the four-bedroom is owned by famed showbiz choreographer and general theater bigwig Grover Dale, not to mention the fact that it was all designed by notable L.A. architect Ralph Flewelling.
Photos indicate some very, err, orange interiors, including a sun-burnt kitchen and a bathroom with (1) an orange velvet ceiling, (2) orange velvet curtains, and (3) an orange velvet window seat. Outside, however, is rather gorgeous, with what the Real Estalker calls "an airy, tunnel-like barrel-vaulted loggia" as well as terraces, a patch of lawn, a swimming pool, and plenty of outdoor lounge space.
