Brian Grazer gets top dollar for his Malibu digs

Brian Grazer, the prolific film and television producer, has sold his Malibu Colony beach house for $17.375 million, making it the second most expensive sale to post so far this year in the local Multiple Listing Service.

Designed for entertaining and built in 1995, the renovated Mediterranean-style home features a deck off the living room and breakfast room.

The three-story house has 6,067 square feet of living space, including an art studio, a media room, an office, a gym, five bedrooms and eight bathrooms.

An indoor swimming pool is adjacent to the two-car attached garage.

An architectural gem in the desert

Grazer, 62, co-founded Imagine Entertainment with Ron Howard. He won an Oscar for “A Beautiful Mind” (2001). He has been an executive producer for TV series, including “How to Live With Your Parents,” “Friday Night Lights” and “Arrested Development.”

Public records show Grazer bought the oceanfront house in 2003 for $13.5 million.

Stephen Shapiro of Westside Estate Agency, Beverly Hills, was the listing agent. Cristie St. James of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Chad Rogers of Hilton & Hyland represented the buyer.
