Will everybody love Ray Romano‘s Venice, CA, modern farmhouse?

We should have the answer to that question before long. The three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is now on the market for $2,499,000.

The popular sitcom actor grabbed the pad in 2017 for $2,100,000—just over the $1.99 million asking price.

The 1,863-square-foot house in the Los Angeles beach community was built in 1956, but had been fully remodeled shortly before Romano purchased it.

Distinctive from the other ranch homes in the area, this one has an expansive great room with light-filled spaces for dining, cooking, and lounging. Blond hardwood flooring flows throughout most of the house.

The kitchen has a navy blue and white theme, with white cabinets and countertops, a generous blue-sided island with bar seating, stainless-steel appliances, and a range hood.

The primary suite features a walk-in closet and bath with a modern dual shower and vanities. There are also French doors that open to a backyard deck.

There are two more bedrooms, which share a second bath, plus a bonus room that’s currently being shown as an office and could be repurposed as a gym or additional sleeping quarters.

Outside, the backyard features a spacious deck—perfect for dining or relaxing—as well as a grassy lawn, lush bougainvillea, and other mature foliage.

The manicured front yard has an expansive driveway leading to the two-car garage, surrounded by lawns and planter areas with snake grass, greenery, and flowering plants.

The locale is not exactly walking distance to Venice’s famous beach or boardwalk, but it is a quick drive there—or to all the trendy shops and restaurants in the area.

Ray Romano’s real estate

It’s unlikely that Romano used this West Side home as a primary residence. It’s reported that the comedian also owns a Mediterranean-style mansion on more than an acre of land in the star-studded San Fernando Valley neighborhood known as Encino Oaks.

And the comedian is also said to have an oceanfront house on Malibu’s swanky Broad Beach.

Romano, 64, is probably best known for his role on the CBS sitcom “Everybody Loves Raymond.” He won three Emmys for his work as producer and lead actor on the series, which ran from 1996 to 2005. Since then he’s been a standout in other series, including “Men of a Certain Age,” “Parenthood,” “Get Shorty,” and “Made for Love.”

Romano also has a notable film career. He’s the voice of Manny in the “Ice Age” animated series, and his critically acclaimed roles include “The Big Sick”  and the Martin Scorsese crime drama “The Irishman,” among others.
