A historic property in L.A.’s Holmby Hills neighborhood that recently sold for nearly $30 million previously belonged to none other than the King of Rock ’n’ Roll. According to Mansion Global, the 1930s estate was where Elvis Presley, his then wife Priscilla Presley, and their young daughter, Lisa Marie, lived in the early 1970s before the couple split in 1973. Technically speaking, the famous family only owned the main house, which sold for $20 million, but the neighboring parcel, which features a koi fish pond and a traditional Japanese teahouse, sold to the same buyers for an additional $9.3 million.
Historic building records note that the architect originally intended for the seven-bedroom mansion to be built in a New England style, but the structure has undergone numerous aesthetic changes throughout the years. The Presleys, for instance, spent tens of thousands of dollars changing up the home’s interiors—completely redoing the kitchen and updating the second-floor bathroom, among other upgrades. They also installed French doors in place of the preexisting living room windows. Other changes to the main house over the years include the addition of a faux-Tudor-style wood framework on the front of the property.
The 2.35-acre compound also has a full-size tennis court with an adjacent viewing pavilion and a swimming pool. It is unclear which, or if any, of these amenities were available during the Presleys’ tenure at the home. It’s also unclear whether the new owners will opt to continue building on the ever-changing house or if they will opt to tear the existing property down and begin anew, as the compound was marketed as a “development opportunity.” Earlier this year, Priscilla put her own longtime Beverly Hills home on the market for $15.995 million.
