Amateur Architect's Dream Project

Hearst's Hollywood Home on the Market

Want to own a piece of Hollywood history? The Beverly House,  in–where else?–Beverly Hills is over 50,000-square-feet and 3.7 acres of fabled story. If these walls could talk, we'd probably have enough gossip for a few juicy tell-alls. This is the former home of William Randolph Hearst and actress Marion Davies, the location of JFK and Jackie's honeymoon, and no doubt home to countless Hollywood legends and lore.

But looking through the photos I can't help but hum the swinging background music that was playing as lawyer Tom gets a tour on his visit to L.A. in the Godfather–you know, right before that bigwig director (and owner of the house in the film) wakes up to a freshly lopped horse head at the foot of his bed.




Think you could make it through a night without visions of dead horses galloping through your dreams? The place could be yours for the bargain-basement price of $95 mil–a big drop from the original asking price a few years ago of $165 million. So giddy up!
Find more information on the Beverly House from the L.A. Times, or at the home's official website.
