“America’s Got Talent” judge and TV host Howie Mandel added to his real estate portfolio recently with the purchase of a $2.6-million home in Hidden Hills.

The Los Angeles-area ranch-style is located behind guarded gates in the Hidden Hills community, among other celebrity-owned homes. The four-bedroom, 2.5-bath home stretches to just over 2,200 square feet, and the sale includes approved building plans to expand the home to nearly 10,000 square feet.

Luxe features like a cozy living room with a large white-brick fireplace meet with a cozy family room, and a dining room that offers plenty of space for family gatherings. The galley-style kitchen impresses as well with a large center island.

Mandel’s new digs also boast a separate guest/staff suite with its own bathroom. A two-stall barn, a covered patio, and a swimming pool fill out the property.
