Natasha Henstridge sells her L.A. home

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, Calif., home for $1.75 million.

The traditional-style house in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley was built in 1935 and sits on about half an acre. It 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. The cover girl costarred opposite Jonny Lee Miller as his fiancee 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).

Henstridge is moving toward the Pacific Ocean and will be renting until she picks her new neighborhood, according to her listing agent.

A Santa Paula, Calif., ranch once owned by actor Steve McQueen and his third wife, Barbara Minty, has come on the market for $1.95 million. The pair moved to the 15.3-acre Ventura County ranch, northwest or Los Angeles, in 1979 and were married in the home's living room in January 1980.

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

The ranch includes 3 acres of Syrah vineyards.
