The home - which served as the residence of astronaut Garrett Breedlove (Jack Nicholson) in the 1983 comedy drama "Terms of Endearment" - sold for $2.85 million.
The Los Angeles Times broke the news of the sale noting that Daniel Dror of DSG Realty represented the buyer of the home while Richard Ray of John Daugherty Real Estate had the listing.
The home came up on the market with a $3.5 million price tag in November last year, the first time in 25 years. Several scenes of the movie were shot in the home, originally known as the Waldo Mansion. The backyard swimming pool, the kitchen and the master bedroom were shown exclusively in the movie.
According to the listing at Realtor.com, the Waldo mansion is a 6,598-square-feet single-family residence - comprising of three bedrooms, three full and one half bathrooms. Sitting on a private 0.57 acre lot, the home is fenced all around.
Interiors of the residence feature hardwood floors, high drywall ceilings, glass windows and wooden doors. A formal living room, a sitting room, an office, a dining area, a powder room and media room are some of its exclusive features.
Outside, the home is surrounded by a lily pond, ample sitting area and a parking garage. There is a detached guest house as well.

Several other movie locations are up for sale. The house featured in the movie "The Money Pit" is coming on the market for $12.5 million and the house in Al Pacino's "Scarface" is asking $35 million. The one in Clint Eastwood's "Trouble with the Curve" is also up for grabs at $1.19 million.
Directed by James L. Brooks, "Terms of Endearment" followed a mother and daughter as they navigated through relationships, family issues, life and death. It is based on the novel by Larry McMurtry. The movie won several Academy Award nominations and won five including one for Best Picture.
Nicholson was excited when he was chosen to play the role of Garrett Breedlove. Talking about the casting, he told Eleanor Quin of Turner Classic Movies:
"...I've always wanted to play older...One of the things that motivated me with that character is that everyone was starting to make a total cliche out of middle age crisis, they were dissatisfied, they hated their job. I just went against the grain of the cliche. I just wanted to say, 'Wait a minute. I happen to be this age and I'm not in any midlife crisis. I'm not an object of scorn or pity by anybody ten years younger than me.' There's got to be other people like me, so I'd like to represent that in this movie."
