A mansion with a starring role in the classic sitcom 'The Beverly Hillbillies' has become California's most expensive property after it reportedly sold for around $150 million.
It features 18 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, a ballroom and a five-bedroom guesthouse designed by well-known architect Wallace Neff. The mansion has panoramic views over the city and the Pacific Ocean, a 75-foot pool with spacious pool house, a tennis court, car gallery for 40 vehicles, 12,000-bottle wine cellar and manicured gardens with a spectacular fountain.
The Beaux Arts mansion was commissioned by engineer Lynn Atkinson, who filled it with gold and marble, Baccarat chandeliers, a vaulted morning room, walnut paneling and an extravagant copper roof, according to afrom 2000. Architect Richardson Robertson told the magazine the house"just symbolized old Bel-Air."
Atkinson's wife, Berenice, reportedly hated it on sight, asking:"Who would ever live in a house like this? It's so grandiose."It stood empty until Arnold Kirkeby, a hotelier, bought it for $200,000 in 1945. Another media mogul, Andrew Jerrold Perenchio, bought it for £13.5 million in 1987 and enlisted Samuel, who spent five years gutting and restoring the palatial home, adding a parquet de Versaille floor in the garden room.
