Bob Barker‘s historic property was listed for $2.9 million — however whoever snapped it up ended up spending much more to purchase it … going effectively over asking.
Actual property sources inform TMZ … inside designer Julia Dempster sealed the deal Thursday by plunking down a whopping $3,788,000 on the 6-bedroom, 6-bath Spanish Colonial Revival-style Hollywood Hills property, this only a month after it hit the market.
We’re informed the property had a staggering 250 showings, so it was clearly in excessive demand … therefore why Julia needed to dig deep into her pockets to snag it. Now, she will get to take a seat again, loosen up and luxuriate in her new residence, which is a real slice of L.A. historical past.
Thought of one of many first, if not THE first, homes in Hollywood, it has been dubbed the Authentic “Outpost” after the founding father of the L.A. Instances, Basic Harrison Gray Otis, had all of it to himself again within the Eighties.
After its demolition, the present residence was erected as a replacement and adjusted possession a couple of instances earlier than lastly coming into BB’s possession, the place he lived for 50 years.
Bob — who died in August last year on the age of 99 — did not make any modifications to the property since buying it in ’69 … so it had a great deal of its OG attraction and options.
Robert Valandra of The Flying V Realty Funding Co. held the itemizing.
