Screenwriters Keith Merryman and David A. Newman were the buyers of comedian Chris D’Elia’s Beachwood Canyon home, which sold earlier this year for $1.9 million.

Tucked behind walls and gates, the multi-level Mediterranean features decorative tile risers, arched doors and exposed beams. The approximately 2,600 square feet of living space includes an eat-in kitchen, a media room, an office, three bedrooms and four bathrooms.

The formal living/dining room has a wall of arched windows that bring treetop and city views inside.

Outdoors, mature trees and hedges provide a backdrop for various sitting areas and a fenced swimming pool.

The property, which also counts comedian and television host Craig Ferguson as a former owner, came up for sale in September for $2.1 million, records show.

Merryman and Newman have writing credits that include the romantic comedies “Friends with Benefits” (2011) and “Think Like a Man” (2012). The duo is also writing the television adaptation for “Think Like a Man” and will executive produce the series.

D’Elia, 36, has produced two stand-up specials, including last year’s “Incorrigible.” This year he had a part in the Netflix movie “XOXO” and will appear in the upcoming film “Half Magic.”
