The talk show host, 64, and wife Portia de Rossi, 49, have found a buyer for their 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom Montecito house, which went for $13.5 million, according to Dirt. They put the house, which is not their primary residence, on the market for $13.9 million in February after purchasing it four months earlier for $12 million in an off-market deal, PEOPLE confirmed at the time. DeGeneres's 3,980-square-foot property, which was listed by Riskin Partners Group, is built for indoor-outdoor living with retractable glass walls connecting many of the interior spaces to landscaped patios and entertaining areas.
