The Los Angeles home of the late beloved actor Betty White has gone on the market for an asking price of $10.57 million.
Sotheby's International Realty this week listed the five-bedroom, six-bath Colonial in Los Angeles' Brentwood Park neighborhood, built in 1952. The "Golden Girls" and "Mary Tyler Moore Show" star had lived in the two-story house at 506 N. Carmelina Ave. since 1968, originally with her late husband Allen Ludden, and she died there Dec. 31 of a stroke at age 99.
The more than 3,000-square-foot home has a swimming pool and nearly three-quarters of an acre of "huge parklike grounds," according to the listing, which boasts "views of the Getty Museum and mountains."
The listing goes on to note that, "There will be no interior access of the home. All showings are of the exterior only," and Sotheby's expects the house to be demolished: "The property is being sold for land value."
The house came on the market just as White's second California home, at 2625 Ribera Rd. in Carmel-by-the-Sea, close to San Francisco, went into contract for what The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday said was $10.77 million — well above the $7.95 million asking price in another Sotheby's listing.
That three-story, four-bedroom home, constructed in 1981 for White and Ludden, who died later that year, "displays panoramic ocean views of the Point Lobos Nature Reserve, Ribera Beach and Monastery Beach from nearly every room, thanks to the genius of architect Richard Hicks," the listing states.
Television Academy Hall of Famer and five-time Emmy Award winner White, who well into her 90s co-starred in the 2010-15 TV Land sitcom "Hot in Cleveland," was born in Oak Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, but as a toddler moved to Los Angeles with her family. There in her childhood and teens, in the 1920s and '30s, she lived at 454 N. Harper Ave. and 11444 Ayrshire Rd.
