The rollercoaster ride that has been the buying and selling of Villa Firenze appears to have come to an end. For now.
After picking up the 31,000 square foot home at auction in 2021 for $60 million, biotech entrepreneur Roy Eddleman listed the trophy property for $120 million in May of 2022. Then, the sixth most-expensive residential listing in Los Angeles, Villa Firenze got plenty of media attention but apparently no takers.
Eddleman soon after passed away, leaving his estate to handle the ongoing attempt to offload the mansion. The property was most recently priced at $67.5 million before finding a buyer for $52 million.
In all, the property makes up 9.85 mostly flat acres across three lots. In all, there are 12 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, but the real selling point are the amenities, naturally. There’s the two-story rotunda library with a secret passage to the master suite, the lavish home bar, screening room and gift wrapping room. For self care, there’s a home spa and fully equipped gym, while outside offers a lighted tennis court, half basketball court, soccer field, child’s maze and a jogging trail.
Across the motor court, a separate guest house includes two ensuite bedrooms, a kitchen, private patio and spa. Additionally, the pool house includes two additional bedrooms, a cabana with an open-air kitchen and entertainment area and pool baths and dressing rooms.
Richard Klug of Sotheby’s International held the listing, while Jade Mills of Coldwell Banker Realty represented the buyer.
