Pat Boone bought Beverly Hills estate for $159,000; now it asks $22.95m
Pat Boone and his late wife Shirley bought a Beverly Hills estate for $159,000 in 1960. The property is now on the market for $22.95 million after significant appreciation in real estate values. The estate features a six-bedroom residence and a guest house on 1.12 acres. Boone has decided to sell the property after living there for more than six decades.
Sixty-six years ago, singer and actor Pat Boone purchased a Beverly Hills estate for a modest $159,000 alongside his late wife Shirley. Today, the property at 904 North Beverly Drive is once again on the market, with an asking price of $22.95 million. The 7,032-square-foot residence, built in 1939, sits on a sprawling 1.12-acre lot within the Beverly Hills Flats neighborhood.
Boon, now 92, owned the home for six decades, acquiring it with Shirley in 1960 when they had four young daughters and sought a spacious family home in the area.
The listing highlights the property's rarity as a legacy estate, emphasizing its expansive lawns, mature trees, and privacy despite its proximity to some of Beverly Hills' busiest streets. Pat Boone purchased the land in 1960 when the home was about 20 years old, and it has since seen a valuation increase of over 140 times its original purchase price.
The estate features six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a three-car garage, a swimming pool, and a separate guest house. Boone and Shirley made several modifications to the property during their time there, including the addition of a guest house, an enclosed patio, and a recreation room with a large dining table, wet bar, and pool table.
The main residence retains traditional elements such as hardwood and carpeted floors, three fireplaces, and a formal living and dining area.
The Boones' decision to sell the property stems from their desire to downsize after hosting numerous Hollywood figures at the estate over the years, including Elvis Presley and Gregory Peck. The listing agent describes the property as a potential for renovation or redevelopment, highlighting its unique size and luxurious features.
