Back on October 15, 2013, the always informative Lauren Beale at LA Times Hot Property revealed that The Office star, Jenna Fischer has sold her Studio City home for $2.015 million on October 9, 2013. The home was first listed on August 13, 2013 for $1,988,000 and apparently was in a bidding war as it sold for $27k more than asking price. 

The home measures 4 Beds/4 Baths on 3,490 sqft on a total lot size of 0.33 acres built in 2009. The listing description states: 
Once in a lifetime, a true "trophy property" like this comes along. .. .and is not to be missed! Enter through gated Mediterranean courtyard with private Moroccan fountain into a stunning house of uncompromising detail and beauty. This warm inviting home greets you with grand open entertaining spaces that lead out to breathtaking panoramic views from almost every room. This private celebrity owned home boasts a dream center island kitchen with all high end appliances including La Cornue, Miele & Bosch, with Carrera marble counters, butlers pantry, dual temperature wine fridge, and custom cabinets. Resplendent with soaring ceilings and beautifully executed Moroccan tiled fireplaces in both living room and family room, and gleaming hardwood floors throughout. Romantic master suite features a steam shower, huge "Lets go shopping" closet, and it's own private balcony. Enjoy Al Fresco dining with large decks, patios, and a generous flat play yard surrounded by magnificent oak trees. Rarely do you find a hillside home with incredible views and a backyard, while also being minutes from shopping and all studios. Newer construction with 3 car garage too! This is a gem that won't last long.
Fischer purchased this property for $1,830,000 on October 27, 2009 which represents a gain of $185,000 from the final sale price before expenses. Fischer is no stranger to the SFV as she previously lived in another Studio City home with her ex-husband James Gunn who is now the sole owner of that home. Fischer recently made celebrity real estate gossip headlines when she purchased the former Casey Stengel (Baseball Hall of Famer) estate in Glendale back in November 2012 for $1.9 million which was discussed here and here.
