Former actress Betty White’s long-time Los Angeles home has sold for $10.678 million (£8.5 million), after being listed in late April.
According to the US website TMZ, White had shared the five-bedroom property, located in the Brentwood neighbourhood with her late husband Allen Ludden, who died in 1981.
The five-bedroom, six-bathroom property, belonging to the actress – who starred in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls – boasts a swimming pool and beautiful views of The Getty Museum.
The home was sold by Marlene Okulick of Sotheby’s International Realty – Pacific Palisades Brokerage, and came after her home in Carmel, California, recently sold for nearly $3 million more than its original list price.
The Wall Street Journal, in a statement from her estate, said: “Betty White was a California girl through and through. Despite living in New York when she and Allen Ludden were first married, she longed to be ‘back home’ in Los Angeles where she grew up.”
She and her husband reportedly bought the house in 1968, and it was built in 1952.
Prospective viewers of the home had to be prequalified to tour the inside of the house, which wasn’t pictured in any listing images.

The property is spread across three-quarters of an acre and features a swimming pool, along with gardens filled with flowers decorating the property, which was also filled with shrubs and trees.
In addition to the main house, which is said to include a three-car garage, there is also a detached guest house.
The separate building was reportedly a popular spot for White and Ludden to play charades with their famous friends, including Burt Reynolds, Jimmy Stewart and his wife Gloria, and Dinah Shore.
