After being on the market for more than a week, the attractive house is now for emergency sale.
If Del Toro can buy the property for the full asking price, he will make a tidy profit on the property he bought in 2012 for $1.65 million.
The award-winning director (he's won two Oscars and an Emmy, among other awards) is perhaps best known for his 2017 film The Shape of Water, which was nominated for 13 Oscars.
Here's a look at the delightful details of Del Toro's bright mansion.
The airy living room has an ornate stone fireplace. The nearby great room has a brick fireplace and wet bar to create a similar effect.
The kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line stainless steel Viking appliances, heated drawers, custom cabinets, and a lovely island.
The master bedroom suite awaits behind double doors and includes a smart built-in office, sitting area, another fireplace and walk-in closet.
The master bathroom is dramatic, with a double vanity, deep tub and green tile.
On the half-acre yard, there is a pool and pool house with a fireplace, a kitchenette and a full bathroom.
Del Toro's work skews toward the dark and mysterious, including "Cabinet of curiosity," which he's currently creating on Netflix, and "Pinocchio," a 2022 film he wrote and directed.
