Valerie Bertinelli has attracted a buyer for her Los Angeles home less than one month after listing it for sale for $2.5 million.
The 62-year-old actress has reached a new step in the process of selling the property as someone has shown explicit interest in it, mere weeks after it hit the market.
Earlier this month she listed the sprawling space, which boats three bedrooms and three bathrooms and is located in Laurel Hills.

Adding to the home’s appeal is the secluded backyard, which includes a fire pit and built-in seating, reported the news outlet.
The home first went under contract earlier this month on August 10, sweeping up an interested party in just a couple of weeks.
Prior to tying the knot with Vitale, the brunette beauty was married to the rock star Eddie Van Halen, with whom she shared son Wolfgang. Eddie passed away in October 2020.

In front is a drive-up driveway that leads to an attached garage. The entranceway has a step up with a glass front door that leads into the living room which has a high ceiling, hardwood floors and a fireplace.
The kitchen is perfect for chef Valerie, with a big island for prepping foods. The bedrooms are spacious with views to the back yard. And a spacious swimming pool is perfect for glamorous Hollywood icon Bertinelli.
In mid July it was revealed that she had responded to Vitale after he challenged the validity of their December 2010 prenuptial agreement.

Goodbye! Food Network star Valerie Bertinelli of the show Valerie’s Home Cooking has listed her sprawling ranch style mansion in the Hollywood Hills
The Food Network star has now asked for a separate trial regarding their prenup which could stall their divorce proceedings, according to a Monday report from People.
In early July Vitale asked to be awarded $50,000 per month in spousal support and $200,000 in legal fees but the beauty has maintained that their prenup has a ‘waiver of temporary and permanent spousal support.’
The Touched By An Angel actress and Vitale married on New Year’s Day 2011 at their Malibu, California residence after dating for years.
The Hot In Cleveland actress filed for separation from Vitale in November 2021 stating ‘irreconcilable differences.’ She filed for divorce in May.
On Wednesday, Valerie filed a 13-page request to bifurcate her marital status from financial issues in her and Vitale’s divorce, according to court records obtained by People.

The paperwork reportedly explain that Bertinelli hopes for ‘an early and separate trial on the issue of validity of Premarital Agreement.’
And if it moved forward, the divorce proceedings would be delayed until validity is determined.
Bertinelli’s lawyers have argued that bifurcation could ‘assist the parties to achieve settlement of remaining issues.’
This comes after Vitale asked to receive $50,000 per month in spousal support and $200,000 in legal fees in early July, according to the records.
But she maintains that their 2010 prenup has a ‘waiver of temporary and permanent spousal support.’
He also tried to block his estranged spouse from requesting spousal support.

Valerie’s and Tom’s split has been challenging. In her book Enough Already: Learning to Love the Way I Am Today, Bertinelli described her parting from Vitale as slow and painful.
‘We have drifted from the interests that made us a couple and found that those differences can’t be fixed,’ she said.
‘He is a good man who is going through many of the same issues that I have faced: What can he do to add meaning and purpose to his life?
‘Where can he find joy? What is he passionate about? What has he learned? And what does he do differently going forward? The paths we thought we were on changed’ she revealed.
