Actor-comedian Jonah Hill of the “Jump Street” movies has listed his home in the Hollywood Hills for sale at $2.995 million.

It’s only the second time the Midcentury compound will change hands. The original 1959 house was built for actress Beverly Garland by her husband, Fillmore Crank. Hill bought the property five years ago for $1.865 million.

Including the detached guesthouse, there are four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms in 3,660 square feet of living space.
