Real Estate
In 2012, Offerman and Mullally listed a home in LA for $12.65 million. The residence features just over 3,800 square feet of living space and three bedrooms. The pair obviously plan to collect a healthy profit margin on the sale, as they originally purchased the residence way back in 2003 for "just" $3.95 million. Notable details include clear views of the city and the Pacific Ocean beyond. The outdoor area features a neatly terraced yard complete with a plunge pool. The property is also located in the Birds Street neighborhood, which is home to celebs like Keanu Reeves and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Also in 2012, it was reported that Nick and his wife were purchasing a home in the affluent neighborhood of Bel-Air. The couple acquired the LA home for a sum of $4.15 million. The luxurious residence spans a total of 5,168 square feet, and it boasts four bedrooms. Tucked away in a cul-de-sac above Stone Canyon Reservoir, the home represents an upgrade for Offerman – despite being much cheaper than the asking price of his previous home. Notable features include stunning views of the San Fernando Valley, polished concrete floors, and a small yet charming pool.
In 2013, Offerman and Mullally managed to sell their home in The Birds, although they didn't receive their full asking price of $12.65 million. In the end, the pair settled upon a final selling price of $9.97 million. Despite the price drop of well over $2.5 million, Nick still walked away with a sizable profit margin. Remember, the couple originally purchased the home back in 2003 for under $4 million.
