John Cusack, an actor best known for his roles in romantic comedies like 1989’s "Say Anything," seems to have crafted his own real estate happy ending. He just sold his Malibu home for $10.3 million, according to The Los Angeles Times.
The 50-year-old actor first gained fame for the 1980s film "Better Off Dead" and this week will begin filming thriller "Misfortune," according to the Times.
Built in 1974, Mr. Cusack’s Spanish-style multi-level home came on the market this March for $13.5 million, or $75,000 a month, according to the paper. Property records show that the house last switched hands in 1999 for $2.1 million.
Sitting along a stretch of sand in a gated community, the 4,660-square-foot house has three bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. It features high ceilings, painted beams and wrought iron chandeliers.
The master suite, outfitted with a large bath and a fireplace, opens to a private balcony. The living room boasts a coastline and open water view.
Other living areas include a large kitchen, a den/office and an exercise room. The lower level of the home has a dry sauna and direct access to the beach.
