Dan Castellaneta, the iconic voice of the Homer Simpson character on the long-running animated series “The Simpsons,” is selling his waterfront property in Santa Barbara.

The two-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom condo is listed for $6.9m (US$4.5m).

The actor purchased this beachy retreat in 2015 for just over $3m, so he should make out with a tidy profit if the home sells in the range of its price guide.

The living, dining, and kitchen areas flow seamlessly, while oak floors, a Sonos system, and gas fireplace give the abode an upscale feel.

Stainless appliances, a Viking range, and custom cabinets fill the eat-in kitchen.

The single-story home also has a powder room, storage, and newly installed radiant-heat flooring.

The property is secured by 24-hour guarded gates and an on-site manager. There’s also a groundskeeping crew to keep the things tidy.

Castellaneta is one of the original “Simpsons” voice actors, along with Hank Azaria, Nancy Cartwright, and Julie Kavner, among others.

In addition to speaking for Homer, the comedian also voices numerous other characters, including Krusty the Clown, Mayor Quimby, and Groundskeeper Willie.
