Former Betty Grable Home
An artful combination of what man and nature can create when each has respect for the other; this is what you'll find in this graciously appointed manse of the stars. Enter this property and you'll feel the cares of the world fall away with each step. Built in 1937 with six bedrooms and seven bathrooms and now updated with modern amenities that compliment the original architecture, this lovely home enchants at every turn. It's not hard to see why a long line of celebrities have chosen to live here over the years. Some include Betty Grable (Hugh Hefner told NPR Radio in 2007 that Betty Grable was his inspiration for starting Playboy magazine), Steven Stills, Jacqueline Smith and John Delorean. Designed by Paul T. Emery, this 3,500sf residence boasts a beautifully updated kitchen, den with beamed ceilings, media room and office. The rest of the acre consists of mature trees, some flowering, on park-like grounds that include a pool and spa. From the seductive gated entry with its canopy of shade trees, to the two-story entrance, you become immediately aware of the tasteful understated elegance that pervades the entire property. A careful blend of house and nature with wide sweeps of glass drawing you to the garden; everything you'd expect from a fine English country house.
