The price was definitely right for the Barker family. A month after listing the TV icon’s longtime Hollywood home for $2.998 million, Bob Barker’s estate has sold for $3.788 million!
Considered to be one of Outpost Estate’s most famous homes, the 1929 build sits on the site of an adobe (the original “Outpost”), which was the very first home built in Hollywood. General Harrison Grey Otis, the founder of the Los Angeles Times, purchased this adobe in 1880 and lived in it until his death in 1917.
The Outpost was then demolished and the current home was built in its place in classic Spanish Colonial Revival style. The home boasts 4,855 square feet of living space with a 601 square foot basement that could open onto its own private backyard.
The home consists of four bedrooms and three baths on the second floor and did contain two bedrooms/one bathroom in the basement. Each of the second-floor baths contain both a shower and tub. There are an additional two half baths on the ground floor.
The home has an original fresco on the hallway ceiling and features both rounded doors and doorways, a fireplace in the living room, original stained glass windows and doors, and an original bar in the library/den.
The property also has a large pool and a great flat backyard with a grand Oak Tree framing the property.
The listing materials note that the home is a Historic-Cultural Monument and a warning that the Mills Act Historical Property Contract Program should also be investigated prior to any residing or renovation plans.
Robert Valandra with the Flying V Realty Co. held the listing, while Jordan Ginsburg and Bennett Hirsch with the Agency repped the buyer.
