Hi Ashley,
Technically speaking, the house used as Eric Knox's bachelor pad was
actually a set created for the movie. However, it was based, as the
commenter below noted, on the "Chemosphere House" located at 7776
Torreyson Drive, Los Angeles.
(http://events.calendarlive.com/top/1,1419,L-LATimes-Search-X!ArticleDetail-10699,00.html?search_area=Articles&channel=Search
: "...says "Charlie's Angels" director McG, who commissioned a
re-creation of the Chemosphere for the film...)


Google search used: ://www.google.com/search?q=%22Chemosphere%22+house++los+angeles,+ca&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&start=10&sa=N

Using that search I found a link to 
http://www.indydewey.8k.com/roadtrip.html which provided the address.

I verified the information by entering the address "7776 Torreyson"
into Google and found this description of the house which matches the
Chemosphere's unique description:

" "BODY DOUBLE" also features a number of other familiar Hollywood
landmarks: ...And that oddball, octagonal house-on-stilts where most
of the movie takes place isn't just a studio prop - it's real a real
home, and it's located at 7776 Torreyson Drive, south of Mulholland
Drive in the Hollywood Hills."

I was unable to find where, although it might be in this article
(abstract free, full article $2.50), about the building:

http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/abstract/62830392.html?did=62830392&FMT=ABS&FMTS=FT&desc=STYLE+%2f+HOME%3b+ONCE+UPON+A+PAD%3b+On+the+movie+set+of+%27Charlie%27s+Angels,%27+a+fantasy+bachelor+hangout+with+all+the+comforts+of+home

which was:

"inspired by architect John Lautner's 1960 Hollywood Hills
"Chemosphere" house."
