Griffiths, now back in Australia with her artist husband, Andy Taylor, bought the home in 2005 for $US1.2 million when she was finishing up her role on US TV’s Six Feet Under.

She went on to appear in Brothers & Sisters, which ran until 2011.

The listing is advertised as a “celebrity-owned mid-century modern oasis”.

All rooms have walls of glass, with a step-down living room with fireplace. There’s another sunken conversation nook with fire pit outside amid yellow palo verde trees.

The 1961 home blends minimalist and modernist elements in an open floor plan.

The gated residence sits on 1580sqm with a pool.
