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.
