I am a couple months late on this one but wanted to make sure it still got posted. Patricia Heaton of Everybody Loves Raymond purchased a Toluca Lake mansion for $5.4 million on March 7, 2013 according to the fine folks at Trulia Luxe Living.
The home measures 5 Beds/7 Baths on 7,649 sqft on a total lot size of 0.75 acres built in 1998 which was designed by renowned architect Kevin Clark. The listing description states:
A prime example of how a quality home should be built. This spectacular Tuscan Villa was designed by renowned architect Kevin Clark and was carefully thought out and built by its currents owners without compromise One of the most important estates to ever come on the market in Toluca Lake, a community known for its proximity to all the major studios yet its small town feel. Rarely will you find the combination of a home like this with an ideal floor plan on 32,491 square feet of park-like private grounds.

Heaton may have also lived in Van Nuys at one point but dont quote me as that is pure speculation so take with a fine grain of salt.
