HOUSE OF THE DAY: California's Legendary Hearst Mansion Can Be Yours For $135 Million
According to real estate blog Curbed, the famous Beverly House in Los Angeles first went on sale back in 2007 for a whopping $165 million. That price was dropped to $95 million in 2010, and was relisted as a rental in February 2013 for a jaw-dropping $600,000 per month, making it the most expensive rental at the time in the U.S.
Now the New York Daily News is reporting that the extravagant mansion is once again up for grabs, this time for $135 million.
So what makes the high-end home so special? Besides the fact that it's absolutely gorgeous, with 50,000 square feet of living space, 28 bedrooms, 3.7 acres of original landscaping, and an Art Deco nightclub (seriously), the property listing on Hilton & Highland says the house was designed by famed architect Gordon Kaufmann.
Beverly House was originally built in 1926 for banking executive Milton Getz. Then in 1946, actress Marion Davies bought it for William Randolph Hearst, who lived out the rest of his life here.
Other famous guests have included John F. Kennedy and Jackie O., who stayed at the house on their honeymoon, and the fictional producer Jack Woltz in "The Godfather," who woke up to find the severed head of a horse in his bed - an offer he couldn't refuse. It's currently owned by attorney and investor Leonard M. Ross.
