Television host Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have certainly kept their real estate agent busy this year.

Three months after buying a Beverly Hills estate from Adam Levine, the Hollywood power couple has sold another home in the 90210 for $15.5 million.

The Hollywood Regency-style house, designed by architect-to-the-stars John Elgin Woolf, was the longtime home of actress and philanthropist Marjorie Lord. Following Lord’s death in 2015, the property was restored by Los Angeles-based design firm Marmol Radziner.

Built in 1962, the glamorous single-story home features a circular foyer, scaled common rooms and an office/den. The center-island kitchen has been updated. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open to a covered patio.

The 5,100 square feet of living space include five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Each of the five bedrooms was designed with a private courtyard.

Outside, there’s a built-in barbecue and a swimming pool. Views take in the cityscape and, on a clear day, the ocean.

DeGeneres, 61, has won multiple Emmys for “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,†which premiered in 2003. Last year she co-created and produced the show “Little Big Shots†with Steve Harvey.

De Rossi, 46, has television credits that include the legal drama “Ally McBeal†and the sitcom “Arrested Development.â€
