The 70-year-old show runner has reportedly struggled with a gambling addiction that left him with $17 million in arrears to the IRS, despite making more than $100 million over his long and storied career, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The Cape Cod-style vacation home with a weathered, shingled exterior and bright blue shutters has been fully renovated inside. There's also a four-bedroom guest house with "beachy decor" and an outside shower, plus a "romantic pond house."
