The house where actress Yvonne de Carlo spent a quarter century sells. Meanwhile, a new series based on 'The Munsters' is being developed.

The spacious estate that went on the market in January sold for $6.695 million by a team from Coldwell Banker. Christophe Choo, from the Beverly Hills office, handled both the buyers and sellers of the transaction. The property had previously been on the market for five years with other brokers.
The house includes a 1920s guest house, a pool house and an 8,000-square-foot main house. There's also a swimming pool and a barn on the gated 7.6-acre site, and the land is zoned for equestrian use.
