The home of Phil and Claire Dunphy from the hit ABC sitcom "Modern family," has reportedly sold for $2.1 million.
The Los Angeles Times broke the news of the sale noting that Mitch Hagerman of Coldwell Banker real estate was representing the famous Cheviot Hills home. Benjamin S. Lee of the real estate brokerage assisted the buyers of the house in the transaction.
The "Modern Family" home came up on the listing market for $2.35 million in March. Despite its widespread fame, it sold under the asking price. However, the owners managed to make a profit off the sale.
Paul Chiames, the owner of the house, purchased the place in 2006 for $1.97 million. He told The Wall Street Journal that most of the shooting took place outside the house. For the interior shots, a replica of the home's layout was used in a studio setting. Apparently, Chiames got paid for each shoot. However, he decided to sell and relocate for a better career opportunity.
According to the listing records, the residence is a 2683-square-feet single-storey home, sitting on a 6393 square-feet lot. Comprising of four bedrooms and five bathrooms, the home has large doors and windows with dark hardwood flooring and drywall ceilings.
The home appeared in a 2012 Architectural Digest feature, where production designer Richard Berg gives a detailed account on some of the featured rooms of the house. He describes the Dunphys' home as "Pottery Barn meets Restoration Hardware."
"'The secret sauce' in the Dunphy residence is the stripes including the upholstery on the armchair in the living room. The stripes and splashes of bright color enliven what could otherwise be a pretty humdrum space," Berg said while talking about the great room of the residence.
The dining room and fireplace are also shown in the feature. Check out the photos, here.
A formal living room is also there but most of the action takes place in the great room and the kitchen in the Dunphy house.
"The kitchen is now truly the center of the house. We couldn't do a show called 'Modern Family' if we didn't see the kitchen as part of the dining and family room in one flowing space," Steve Levitan, creator of the series, told the Los Angeles Times.
