Kathy Griffin is officially saying goodbye to her Los Angeles home.

The comedian has sold her eight-bedroom, 12-bathroom Bel Air estate for $14 million, Variety reports. In September, PEOPLE reported that the A Hell Of A Story star, 60, had listed the 13,377-square-foot home for $15.995 million with Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles realtors Josh and Matt Altman of Douglas Elliman.

According to the listing, the home features a "sheer scale and brightness" that will "take your breath away." A chef's kitchen boasts two islands and flows into a living room area with wood beam ceilings, and mountainous views are visible through glass doors off the master bedroom, along with a large private balcony offering outdoor relaxation.

The main suite is also equipped with a fireplace, dual bathrooms and two walk-in closets.

Throughout the home, there is also a home office, a private theater room and a wine cellar bar. The backyard features a pavilion, lounge space and an infinity-edge pool.

Back in 2016, Griffin gave PEOPLE an exclusive tour of the L.A. residence, opening up about how she made it her own. The star purchased the place for $10.5 million in the same year. "This is my dream house, for sure," she said at the time.

"It's a big middle finger to Hollywood and all of Beverly Hills and other snooty neighborhoods where I don't really belong," she said of the property, adding that she embraced its "over-the-top" elements and "ridiculous rooms."

The Emmy winner also addressed her extensive wine cellar — which she had trouble fully stocking.

"I have a wine cellar that's for a thousand bottles of wine," Griffin told PEOPLE. "If one more person is like, 'When are you going to fill it..." I'm thinking, 'I don't know, when a thousand people come over?'"

Griffin also shared that she kept her Grammy and Emmy awards on display in her minimalist-yet-luxe foyer. She's put a guest book there that was a gift to her from Joan Rivers.

"Whenever people don't want to sign it, I always show them Joan's as the first signature," she said. "'That's right, get your pen, Joan wants you to sign it, so sign it!'"

She also had a framed photo of the late comedy legend in her home office: "I have my own office, which I love. There's a beautiful picture of Joan Rivers and she looks over me and watches me with guidance."
