Update: If a property is sitting in today’s market, the first thing you need to do is re-examine the list price. Such is the case for the Laguna Beach property Better Davis once called home, which was listed in the Spring of 2021 for $19.995 million. Now, the owners have taking the aggressive step of shaving $3 million off asking!
The oceanfront, French Normandy-style home is now listed at $16.995 million with John Cain of Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty holding the listing.
Actress Bette Davis’ one-time Orange County beach house has just been listed for a cool $19,995,000.
The house originally belonged to Charles Prisk, owner of the Pasadena Star-News and Long Beach Press-Telegram. Davis lived in the home with her third husband, William Grant Sherry, and their daughter, Barbara, from 1947-1950.
According to the listing, the property features six bedrooms and eight bathrooms amongst 5,400 square feet of living space. A private courtyard entry leads to the home’s main entrance, guest house entrance, and dining terrace with stairs leading to a sunny lounge area with direct beach access.
The main house features a Lookout Room and adjoining family room and dining room, all with stunning views of the Pacific.
