Hot Property: Quick sale for 'Criminal Minds' star

LOS ANGELES _ Tony Award-winning actor Joe Mantegna didn't have to wait long to find a buyer for his Toluca Lake home.

The Tudor-style manor had an offer in hand about a week after it hit the market in late January. It sold for $4 million, or $195,000 less than the asking price.

Mantegna, whose myriad credits include "Three Amigos" and "The Godfather Part III," paid $1.58 million for the property about three decades ago.

Built in 1989, the stately two-story has held up nicely over the years with a charming half-timbered and brick facade. Inside, lattice windows, custom molding and rich hardwood floors bring character to formal living spaces. An impressive great room is reached by illuminated stairs and boasts a movie theater, a game room and a pub-style bar.

The home's 7,363 square feet also include four bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, a foyer with a sweeping staircase, a wood-paneled office, formal living room, chandelier-topped dining room and a center-island chef's kitchen.

French doors in the indoor-outdoor family room open onto a backyard patio and lawn, as well as a swimming pool surrounded by palm trees. A deck off the master suite overlooks the space from above.

Mantegna, 72, has been acting since the 1970s. He's worked extensively with playwright David Mamet, appearing in his Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Glengarry Glen Ross" and his films "House of Games," "Things Change" and "Homicide." Since the 1990s, he has also voiced the role of Fat Tony on "The Simpsons."
