British actor Clive Standen, whose recent credits include the NBC action-thriller “Taken,� was the buyer of actress Lucy Hale’s Studio City home that sold in June. The sale price was $2.45 million.

Built in 2004 and extensively updated during Hale’s stay, the hillside three-story features high ceilings, hardwood floors and oversized French doors. An entry staircase extends downward into the living room, which has a floor-to-ceiling fireplace. A dining room and updated kitchen sit off the living area. Sliding glass doors in the eat-in kitchen open to a balcony overlooking the canyon.

A fireplace, a sliding barn door and a chandelier-topped soaking tub highlight the master suite. There are four bedrooms and four bathrooms within nearly 3,900 square feet of living space.

Terraces and balconies add more living space outdoors. A lower patio holds a saltwater swimming pool and a cabana.

Standen, 38, has television credits that include the British soap “Doctors,� “Doctor Who� and the BBC TV series “Robin Hood.� He has had a recurring role on the History channel drama “Vikings� since 2013 and is set to appear in the upcoming NBC drama “Council of Dads.�
