Leonardo DiCaprio went above and beyond the asking price to purchase Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Spanish Colonial home in Los Angeles’ Los Feliz neighborhood for $7.1 million.
The 45-year-old Modern Family star and his husband Justin Mikita previously set the asking price at $6.995 million, substantially more than he paid for the elegant home, according to Dirt.
This marks the second Los Feliz home for DiCaprio, 46, after he bought another 1920s-era home from Moby in 2018 for $4.9 million.
New acquisition: Leonardo DiCaprio, 46, purchased a home in the hills of Los Angeles’ Los Feliz neighborhood from Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson, 45, according to Dirt.

Bush created with images from porn films, and a mosaic of Arnold Schwarzenegger from his bodybuilding days in the same style, according to Architectural Digest.
Prior to selling, the couple bought a mansion in Encino for $8.7 million.
