LOS ANGELES _ Actress Lori Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, have one less thing to worry about as they await sentencing for their role in the college admissions scandal. The pair have sold their Bel-Air estate to Tinder co-founder Justin Mateen for $18.75 million _ or about half the $35 million they had asked for the estate.
Set overlooking the Bel-Air Country Club, the Spanish villa-style house was designed by architect Roland Coate and recently remodeled by L.A.-based firm Standard Architecture.
The 1929-built home, once owned by actors Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland, measures some 12,000 square feet with seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms and designer-done spaces that take in sweeping golf-course views.
Past a two-story entry with a sweeping staircase, there's a step-down living room, a paneled library, a chef's kitchen and a lounge with a marble wet bar. Pivoting walls of glass open outside, where a patio lined with arches leads to a swimming pool and spa.
A gym, a five-car garage and a circular motor court finish off the property, which covers about three-quarters of an acre.
Loughlin, 56, is known best for her role as Aunt Becky in "Full House," and her other credits include "90210" and "When Calls the Heart." Giannulli, 57, founded clothing company Mossimo in the '80s.
In May, the couple pleaded guilty to charges connected to the college admissions bribery scandal. They are awaiting sentencing.
Mateen co-founded Tinder in 2012 and served as chief marketing officer before resigning amid sexual harassment allegations.
