Hot Property: Comedian Russell Peters looks to shed landlord role

LOS ANGELES _ Russell Peters is looking to leave his landlord responsibilities behind in Malibu. The comedian-actor's ocean-view estate, which is now tenant-occupied until 2023, is back up for sale at $7.995 million.

There's plenty to like about the coastal abode, which spans 10,000 square feet on 1.35 acres. Past a gated driveway and porte-cochere, the home opens through double doors to a grand chandelier-topped foyer.

Completely remodeled under his ownership, the interior holds such highlights as a restaurant-quality wet bar, a rounded sunroom, a movie theater, a gym and a wraparound terrace overlooking the ocean.

Dark floors of tile and hardwood switch off in the living spaces, which include an indoor-outdoor living room, formal dining room, family room and sleek kitchen with a breakfast nook.

The master suite _ one of seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms _ extends to a rounded lounge and a spacious bathroom with a free-standing tub and sauna.

Out back, landscaped lounges and lawns surround a swimming pool and spa.

Peters, 48, has produced a number of comedy specials, including "Outsourced" and, more recently, "Almost Famous." The Canadian stand-up comedian voiced the character Rocky the Rhino in the 2016 film version of "The Jungle Book." He also appeared in, among other movies, "Source Code" and "Chef."

He bought the place in 2014 for $4.725 million.
