Model-turned-actress Natasha Henstridge, who starred as the alluring human-alien hybrid Sil and her clone Eve in the sci-fi horror "Species" films, has sold her Sherman Oaks home for $1.75 million.

The traditional-style house, which was built in 1935 and sits on about half an acre, has five bedrooms and six bathrooms in 3,825 square feet. There are five fireplaces, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, skylights and an expansive wooden deck. Steps off the back of the house lead across the lawn to the swimming pool area.

The actress purchased the property for $1.36 million in 2003, public records show.

Henstridge, 35, will be in the upcoming movies "Anytown" (2009) and "Let the Game Begin" (2010).

She took to the big screen as a man-murdering crossbreed in the Ben Kingsley-starring "Species" (1995), which along with "Species II" (1998) and "Species III" (2004), make the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence seem foolhardy.

Henstridge also starred in "The Whole Nine Yards" (2000) and "The Whole Ten Yards" (2004).

The cover girl costarred opposite Jonny Lee Miller as his fiancée in the ABC comedy-drama "Eli Stone" (2008-09), which aired its final episode in July.

Among other recent TV appearances, she was in the miniseries "Impact" (2009). She has done television commercials for brands including Old Spice and Lady Stetson.

Henstridge is moving toward the ocean and will be renting until she picks her new neighborhood, according to listing agent Matt Epstein of Re/Max on the Boulevard, Sherman Oaks.

Tiffany Fedell and Josephine Rossi of Coldwell Banker, Sherman Oaks, represented the buyer.

Where Bullitt used to relax

A Santa Paula ranch once owned by actor Steve McQueen and his third wife, Barbara Minty, has come on the market for $1.95 million.


The 1892 Victorian-style house has antique stained-glass windows, mountain views, and family room and kitchen fireplaces.


He picked the ranch because it reminded him of the Slater, Mo., farm where he lived during his childhood and because of its proximity to Santa Paula Airport, where he flew his yellow Stearman biplane.

Known for his macho roles and tough-guy persona, the box-office star appeared in such films as "The Magnificent Seven" (1960), "The Great Escape" (1963), "Bullitt" (1968), "Papillon" (1973) and "The Towering Inferno" (1974).

McQueen, who had contracted mesothelioma, died of a heart attack following surgery in 1980. He was 50.

The listing agents are David Kean and John Aaroe of the John Aaroe Group, Los Angeles.
