Thank you for being a friend — by paying more than the asking price!
After come to market in April for $10.57 million, and for the first time in more than 50 years, the late Betty White’s Los Angeles home was sold, her brokerage told the Post.
The final sale price: approximately $10.67 million, some $100,000 more than the request. The identity of the new owner is not immediately clear.
The house is in the affluent neighborhood of Brentwood, 506 North Carmelina Ave.and it’s there the titan of the “Golden Girls” lived at the time of his death on last New Year’s Eve at the age of 99 – less than three weeks of his 100th birthday and less than a week after having a stroke. After his death, fans gathered outside the property to pay their respects to the star, who entertained generations of viewers during his more than 80-year career.
Despite the charm of the luxury home, a structure built in 1952 complete with canary-yellow shutters, the listing says the property would be sold for the value of the land, adding that it offers the buyer the option of building the home from his dreams on flat ground. In addition, potential buyers could not access the interior of the house during visits. (The house, however, was known to have a room full of stuffed animals, due to his lifelong love of animals. It also has five bedrooms and 3,029 square feet of space.)
The land covers 0.72 acres and offers views of the Getty Museum and nearby mountains. The grounds also have gardens and mature trees.
White and her late husband, Allen Ludden, bought the spread in 1968. Its selling points: its proximity to various studios where she worked, as well as its privacy.
The couple also owned a beachfront home in Carmel, California – they bought the land for it in 1978 – which would have been their dream home after it was built. This property listed for $7.95 million in March and sold just weeks after hitting the market for a considerably higher $10.77 million following an apparent bidding war.
Marlene Okulick Sotheby’s International Realty – Pacific Palisades Brokerage – had the Los Angeles property listing.
