Melissa McCarthy shells out $2.4M on San Fernando Valley property
The celebrity duo reportedly offered $200,000 more than the original asking price
Actress and comedian Melissa McCarthy has added to her real estate portfolio after forking over $2.4 million for a San Fernando Valley property.
McCarthy reportedly offered roughly $200,000 more than the original asking price for the single-story home for her and her husband, actor and filmmaker Ben Falcone, according to Variety which confirmed the purchase through tax records.
The 2,800-square-foot, four-bedroom, and three-and-a-half bath farmhouse was built by Hunter Homes and sits within the Valley Village neighborhood of Los Angeles. Clad in steel grey, the exterior boasts a "bold" look, according to the listing.
By contrast, the interior of the home encompasses mainly white walls mixed with light wide-plank oak flooring, custom paneling and designer light fixtures.

This is not the first time the two-time Oscar nominee dabbled in real estate within San Fernando Valley.
In 2012, they spent more than $3.5 million for an estate owned by songwriter and game and talk show host Alan Thicke, Variety reported.
And in 2009, the couple spent $780,000 for a furnished rental, which according to Variety costs $10,000 per month when it pops up on the market.
