Ed Asner’s longtime home sells in Studio City [Photos]

If just the mention of the name Ed Asner puts the theme song from “The Mary Tyler Moore Show� in your head, then the actor’s longtime Studio City house will likely bring his trademark role -- affable, flawed, curmudgeonly, fatherly editor Lou Grant -- to mind too.

Talk about a warm fuzzy. The charming traditional-style home, which sold for $1,306,250, has that real-people-lived-here look. Described as “quaint� by Realtor.com, which spotted the sale, the place oozes wall-to-wall character.

Used brick, leaded-glass doors and windows, exposed-beam ceilings, brass hardware and French doors are among the 2,783-square-foot home’s charms. Living space includes dining and family rooms, an office, three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The self-contained master suite features a sitting area, a fireplace, another office and a walk-in cedar closet.

Brick steps lead off the back of the home, built in 1954, to a sunny patio and a swimming pool with a spa.

Asner, 84, is a past president of the Screen Actors Guild. The Emmy winner played Lou Grant in the 1970s sitcom “The Mary Tyler Moore Show� and in a spinoff newspaper drama.

Last year Asner appeared in the “The Glades� and the TV movie “Christmas on the Bayou.� This year he is in the series “Men at Work� and the films “Audrey,� “The Games Maker� and “Promoted.�

The home was purchased in 1996 for $540,000.

Ron Holliman and Constance Chesnut of Coldwell Banker were the listing agents. Stanton Snyder represented the buyer.
