Maura Tierney sells Hancock Park-area house for $2,175,000

The restored Craftsman, acquired by acting couple Tom Lennon and Jenny Robertson, features built-in cabinetry and other period details.

For actress Maura Tierney, it’s a double wrap of sorts. Her decade-long stint has ended on the now defunct TV hit “ER”, and she has sold her Hancock Park-area house for $2,175,000, according the Multiple Listing Service. The 3,051-square-foot Craftsman had been listed at $2,195,000 since late February.

The new owners of the restored 1913 home are acting couple Tom Lennon and Jenny Robertson.

Lennon, 38, played shorts-wearing Lt. Jim Dangle on “Reno 911!” (2003-08) and has appeared in the 2009 films “17 Again” and ” I Love You, Man.” The comedic actor also has screenwriting credits, including “Balls of Fury” (2007) and “Herbie Fully Loaded” (2005). Roberston, 45, has appeared in “Reno 911!” and other television shows and films.

The house the pair purchased has four bedrooms and three bathrooms plus a guesthouse. It had been restored and features built-in vintage cabinetry and period details.

Emil Alexander of Prudential California Realty, Pacific Palisades, was the listing agent. Rick Llanos of Coldwell Banker, Hancock Park North, represented the buyers.

Maura Tierney goes from ER to the Firehouse.

On the night ER‘s County General shut its doors for good, Maura Tierney hit the town in support of her new show, the FX firefighter dramaRescue Me.

At Thursday’s New York season-five premiere and Rescue Me Comedy Tour, benefiting the Leary Firefighters Foundation, Tierney, 44, told PEOPLE of the ER finale, “I haven’t seen it. I’m TiVoing it. There was a party this weekend, so I got to see everybody and say goodbye.” And, she adds with a laugh, “I’ve moved on!”
Indeed, after starring opposite her on-air husband, Goran Visnjic, she’ll play a potential love interest for Denis Leary’s Rescue Me character, Tommy Gavin.
How does Leary, 51, stack up against her other handsome costars? “He’s right at the top,” says Tierney. “He’s extremely smart and very funny. There’s a great vibe on the set … it reminded me of ER. Everyone is very relaxed. It was a really good time.”
Tierney calls her long-running role on the NBC hospital drama “a wonderful time in my life. I just have nice memories.” Most memorable? Her scenes with double Oscar winner Sally Field, who played her mother. “I was really lucky,” says Tierney. “It was so creatively and personally satisfying.”
But before Tierney joins the Rescue Me cast – her arc will take place late in the 22-episode season – another notable guest star will appear: Michael J. Fox. “He’s a great dramatic actor, which people forget,” says show’s co-creator, writer and star, Denis Leary. “If he doesn’t get an Emmy for this, I don’t know who will.”
