The former Encino pad of Andrews was reportedly built in 1960 and rests on more than 10800 sq.ft of land showcasing seven bedrooms, four baths, a family room and a home office that dual as a hobby area.
The home that covers a living space of more than 4,100 sq.ft., is said to have been built with an appeal of a ranch, despite a smaller space, notes LA Times.

Other features that speak of such discriminating taste of the former owners are a contemporary kitchen equipped with a breakfast room and a bar that is available for the new host to share with his guests during parties.
The Encino property was put up on the market in February, according to LA Times, at an asking price set to $2.149 million.

One of his children, Barbara Andrews, shared what her father felt about "The Mod Squad" in an interview with the Associated Press.
"He felt the show made a big difference because it was one of the first television series to address social issues such as drugs, prostitution and teen pregnancy that were more hush-hush before that time," Barbara told AP.
Andrews' stellar performance for "The Mod Squad" earned him an Emmy nomination (1970) and a Golden Globe nomination (1971), says IMDb. Other than the said series, Andrews appeared in the series "Sledge Hammer!" (1987) and "Murder, She Wrote" (1991), the database states.
