Elizabeth Taylor's former Bel Air estate is undergoing a $47 million makeover while preserving the actress's unique character and memories. The 1.3-acre property, which Taylor owned for 30 years, will be transformed into a Taylor/Tavangarian manor, combining the original home with a new addition. Developer Ardie Tavangarian aims to create a space that both honors Taylor's legacy and meets modern living standards.
The original 7,000-square-foot home will become an Elizabeth Taylor wing, featuring her master bedroom, bathroom, beauty center, and other cherished spaces. Her famous jewelry, kept in velvet-lined cases, will also be retained. A gallery showcasing Taylor-related artwork is planned, and the property will boast a retractable roof for stargazing, a spa, a wellness center, and a family "pajama room".
The estate's original landscaping, including a sapphire-colored pool, koi pond, and arbor-covered pathways, will be preserved. Tavangarian has invested $15 million in the project and expects to spend at least $47 million in total, with the completed property potentially selling for over $100 million.
