The quaint Studio City residence where actor Ed Asner made his home for more than a decade has sold for $1.955 million, or $107,000 more than the asking price.
Asner bought the 1956 ranch-style house in 1996 for $540,000 and lived there until 2013, when he sold the place for $1.306 million. Since then, it changed hands once more, selling two years ago for about $1.53 million, records show.
Though extensively updated since the actor’s ownership, the two-story home retains such character details as used brick, vaulted ceilings and French doors with arched transoms. Within some 2,800 square feet of interior are a formal living/dining room, an office and a center-island kitchen.

The master suite has a room for a sitting area, a fireplace and a cedar-lined walk-in closet for a total of three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Outside, brick patio surrounds a circular spa and swimming pool. A small fruit tree grove and an herb/vegetable garden lie in the side yard.
The property hit the market in June and sold in about a month, records show.
Dennis Chernov and Kevin Silver of Keller Williams Realty, Studio City, had the listing. Peter Lorimer of PLG Estates represented the buyer.
