We mentioned last month that David Duchovny and Téa Leoni put their home on the market and then dropped the listing a couple of weeks later. There were conflicting stories about whether they were rethinking the sale or wanting to return to New York, and their agent wouldn’t confirm whether the house had an offer.
The LA Times is now confirming that the couple does indeed have an offer on the house, although there’s not any information on the buyer at this time, including the price paid. The home was listed for $12 million.
As mentioned before, the home is 6,578 square-feet, has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, two pools, a gym, and a guest house. The home was sold quite quickly, considering the real estate market (and the economy).
Duchovny is best known for his role as Fox Mulder on the tv series X-Files. As seems to be the trend right now, the characters in the series return in a movie (now in theaters). While we watched the series at the beginning, it eventually got too weird for us to continue. We probably stopped watching sometime after the episode “Home” — which is just too creepy for words. Remember the three brothers from Pennsylvania, and the woman under the bed? Yeah, that one. *shudder*
Anywho, in addition to the X-Files movie, Mulder has been in the series Californication. Anyone else start hearing the Red Hot Chile Peppers when they see the series name? Our favorite Duchovny film would probably be the sleeper Return to Me. Why, yes, we do like sappy movies once in a while.
Leoni, on the other hand… well, sorry but we’re just not a fan of the work she’s been doing. Although, in spite of the reviews, we kinda liked Spanglish, but that was more in spite of Leoni than because of her.
We’ll keep watching for news of who bought the home and let you know when we see something.
