How I Met Your Mother star, Alyson Hannigan, and her husband, fellow actor Alexis Denisof of Angel fame, are selling an architectural masterpiece home known as the Sherman Residence.
At $18 million, a sale near the listing price would be more than twice the $7.95 million the couple paid for the Encino compound back in 2016, according to records.

Expansive windows line each of the home’s five bedrooms, framing views of the manicured grounds – complete with sycamore, orange and avocado trees – from every room.
Tucked away behind solid wooden gates, the property also features a guesthouse, a north-south tennis court with a viewing pavilion and a three-car garage.
