Sinatra's 'Rat Pack' Home is Back!
This is the home where Nancy Sinatra grew up. In her book, "Frank Sinatra, My Father", she said of the home, "Our house sat on about three acres. We had a pool, a badminton court, a big fishpond, a separate play yard, a beautiful rose garden and an orchard." Those were idyllic years until it all turned sour with Frank's endless affairs, rare appearances at home and finally a divorce from Nancy's mother, Nancy Barbato.

The home, having stood untouched for 50 years, was put on the market last year at $22.5m. It was snapped up by Paramount CEO, Brad Grey, for $18.5m in November. He has now put it back on the market a year later, sans pink walls and furniture, for a whopping $23.5m, considering the home hasn't changed in architecture since 1936. Of course it is probably the most desirable 2.3 acres in Holmby Hills in Bel Air! An attractive red brick hacienda sprawling over green lawns, the rooms are huge and airy; capable of large scale entertaining with plenty of space left over. Though there has been talk of tearing it down for one more mega mansion, the style is timeless and a blank slate to dress up or down at one's own whimsy. Though you'll probably not find the badminton court, play yard or same plantings from Nancy's childhood, the grounds are totally private and hold endless possibilities. At 8,631sf, the house contains 7 bedrooms, 7 baths, library, staff quarters, family room, 4 fireplaces, parking for 20 cars, courtyard, pool, patios and all within the elite gated community. A loving touch could bring this property back to its original splendor in no time.

Purchased by Frank Sinatra in 1948, this fine piece of Hollywood history can now be yours. Priced at $23.5m.
