Rickles, who gained fame on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson,” purchased the traditional-style property in 2004 for $3.3 million.

The 3,421-square-foot estate has four bedrooms and five bathrooms with “deeded rights to Little Dume Beach,” according to listing details. The two-story home also has an eat-in kitchen with vaulted ceilings, a tennis court and swimming pool.
