After cutting a rug as a contestant on “Dancing With the Stars,” actor Jesse Metcalfe has cut himself a deal in the housing market, selling his Hollywood Hills home of more than five years for $3.675 million.
Metcalfe, who was paired up with Sharna Burgess on the dance competition show, listed the 1930s traditional-style home in September for $3.995 million and had an offer in hand roughly five weeks later, records show.
The roughly 3,500-square-foot house has been updated with neutral hues and dark hardwood floors.

The sale price registers as slightly higher than average for the Hollywood Hills/Sunset Strip area, where land prices start in the low hundreds of thousands and contemporary mansions built on speculation command eight-figure prices. In September, based on 19 single-family home sales, the median sales price was $2.9 million, up 8.2% year-over-year, according to CoreLogic

Set just above the Sunset Strip, the gated estate sits behind mature hedges with a swimming pool and spa, a fire pit and an outdoor dining pavilion.
The 1930s house features four bedrooms including an expanded primary suite with an attached salon.
