Although Malibu Colony may have been where everybody knew his name, "Cheers" star Ted Danson is moving on, having sold his Cape Cod-style house for an undisclosed price. It had been listed at $16,750,000.
Danson and his wife, actress Mary Steenburgen, have had the house on and off the market for about a year. It was originally listed at $18 million.
The 3,550-square-foot home had been remodeled and totally renovated in 2002. It has hickory floors, ocean views and 8-foot sliding French doors that open onto the oceanfront patio and deck area.
An oceanfront tearoom features a ceiling-mounted projection screen that is part of a large entertainment system, according to listing information. The dining room overlooks the Pacific -- a view framed by the hand-painted fireplace insets and antique aqua glass and crystal chandelier.
The kitchen has a farmhouse sink and painted tin ceilings, along with the prerequisite Viking range and dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer.
The master suite is the pièce de résistance, with a fireplace and many built-ins, a large sun deck, a walk-in closet and a luxurious bath. Each additional bedroom suite features custom moldings, sisal floor coverings and Waterworks fixtures and tile.
There is a first-floor guest suite with a private entrance.
And of course it's all in the colony, which is guard-gated.
Danson played bartender Sam on the NBC hit sitcom "Cheers" from 1982 to 1993, winning Emmys for best actor in 1990 and 1993. He periodically plays himself on "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
Steenburgen, an Academy Award winner for her role in the 1980 film "Melvin and Howard," married Danson in 1995. She appears in "Step Brothers," with Will Ferrell, due out this summer.
