The home of magician-comedian Justin Willman, whose new show “Magic for Humans” premiered on Netflix last month, has quickly found a buyer in the Hollywood Hills.

The Mediterran­ean-style house, dating to the early 1920s, hit the market in late July, and was listed as pending less than a week later and sold for $1.618 million — $119,000 over the asking price.

The 2,134-square-foot house was updated by Willman’s wife, interior designer Jillian Sipkins, who introduced new elements while maintainin­g many original details.

Features include arched doorways, exposed beams and Saltillo floors.

The kitchen has been refreshed, save for a vintage stove.

A living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room, a library, four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms complete the floor plan. Additional flex space lies on the basement level.

Outside, mature trees and landscapin­g provide cover for decking, a circular spa and an alfresco dining area. Further up the hillside, a lookout takes in the surroundin­g hills.

Leslie Romenesko of Douglas Elliman was the listing agent.

Willman, 38, has been a frequent guest on such talk shows as “The Tonight Show,” “Ellen” and “Conan.”

He’s also hosted the cooking competitio­n show “Cupcake Wars” and the game show “Win, Lose or Draw.”
