Michael Strahan, who has been doing swimmingly on daytime TV since he replaced Regis Philbin as “Live!” co-host, has one fewer place near the water now. His town house in Hermosa Beach has sold for $1.725 million.

The former NFL superstar and Fox football analyst had listed the custom walk-street home in August at $1.849 million.

A block from the beach, the 2,560-square-foot two-story house features dual living rooms, an elevator, a rooftop deck, two master bedroom suites, another bedroom and four bathrooms.

Strahan, 40, has seen ratings climb since his arrival this fall on “Live! With Kelly and Michael,” which he co-hosts with Kelly Ripa. The defensive end played for the New York Giants his entire NFL career, setting a record for sacks in a single season and retiring in 2008 after the Giants won Super Bowl XLII.

Public records show that Strahan bought the Hermosa Beach property in 2005 for $2.2 million.

Lee LeGrande of NW Real Estate Brokers was the listing agent.
