Hot Property: Kunal Nayyar of 'Big Bang Theory' flips the script in Hollywood Hills

LOS ANGELES _ Actor Kunal Nayyar is hoping to end his time in Hollywood Hills with a bang. The "Big Bang Theory" star and his wife, fashion designer and model Neha Kapur, have put their compound on the market for $3.995 million.

The leafy spot spans half an acre and makes the most of its space with a Mediterranean-style villa and a pair of guesthouses. Dense landscaping surrounds the salmon-colored exterior, which opens to 4,100 square feet of bright living spaces with white walls and floors of hardwood and tile.

A formal entry gives way to a living room with custom built-ins and a wet bar, and other highlights include a sky-lit chef's kitchen and office with picture windows that take in garden views. Three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms round out the main house. Each guesthouse adds one of each.

Courtyards and patios fill out the secluded grounds, leading to a romantic swimming pool set between a grill and covered fire pit. A separate pool house completes the property.

The listing comes about year after the couple purchased a home in L.A.'s Hancock Park neighborhood that once belonged to Nicolas Cage.

Nayyar, 39, became one of the world's highest-paid television actors during his 12-season run as astrophysicist Raj Koothrappali on "The Big Bang Theory." Kapur, 36, is a former beauty pageant contestant and founder of the Hensely clothing brand.
