Deal or No Deal? Howie Mandel’s Home Is For Sale

howietwo

Will Howie Mandel be able to strike a deal on his newly listed Malibu residence? Mandel purchased the property for $3 million in 2006, but in true Howie style, he tore down the original home and enlisted architect Douglas Burdge to design a charming, New England-inspired beach house. Located within walking distance of Malibu’s pristine beaches, the sun-drenched home boasts soaring ceilings, several fireplaces, hardwood floors and crisp, white walls. (Would you expect anything less from America’s favorite germaphobe?) Listed for $7.25 million, the property also offers a pool, expansive patios and panoramic ocean views.

What do you say, “Deal or No Deal?”
