Award winning writer and producer Joe Keenan listed his expansive property in the hills, above Studio City, for $6.75 million.
Keenan and his long-time partner, Gerry Bernardi, bought the California property in July 1997 for $1.5 million, reports Variety. The writer producer also purchased the house next to the estate three years later for $625,000. However, the said property is reportedly not included in the sale transaction.
The Variety report describes Keenan's expansive property as a picturesque estate in the hills. On the property is a white, stucco-sided modified Colonial house that was originally built in the late 1930s. The property has three bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. In total, the gated real estate measures 1.48 acres, wherein the house has 5,297 square feet of living space. Trees surrounds the property with views of the San Fernando Valley peeking through the trees from the raised front porch. The house also features an angle entrance gallery which opens to the central courtyard and leads to a formal living room with a fireplace. Adjacent to the formal living room is a fully paneled dining room which has another fireplace.
The well-equipped although somewhat outmoded galley kitchen also has extra wide spaces and comes with dark colored cabinets. It even opens up to an informal dining area which currently is decked out as a lounge with Art Deco sofa and chairs. Keenan's house also has a family room, home gym, double home offices and a wood paneled library.
On the second floor of the modified Colonial mansion are two en suite guest bedrooms wherein one has a private sitting room. The master suite has its own fireplace, wet bar, a spacious custom walk-in closet with glass fronted wardrobes and a luxuriously designed master bath. On the grounds of Keenan's estate are a spa, oval swimming pool and an outdoor dining area with a fireplace which is perfect for entertaining.
Keenan is best known for writing and producing TV hits such as "Frasier" and "Desperate Housewives," according to IMDb. He also wrote the screenplay for the animated film, "Flushed Away." Aside from TV and big screen projects, the writer and producer also authored three comic novels namely "Blue Heaven," "Puttin' On the Ritz" and "My Lucky Star."
