According to a story in the L.A. Times, the longtime Brentwood home of the late comic?Phyllis Diller?? who recently died at age 95 ? has?come on the market at $12.9 million.?The home, built in 1914 in a Country English style, sits on a 1.25-acre flat lot. ?Her son and executor, Perry Diller, plans to sell the home?s contents at a future auction.
Diller bought the 9,266-square-foot house in 1965 and personalized it to reflect her varied pursuits. ?According to the story in the Times:
In the decades she owned the house, Diller named many of its 22 rooms. The living room became the?Bob Hope?Salon after the comic actor she considered her mentor. A large oil painting of Hope, presented to her by the actor, stands on an easel in the room, and a concert grand occupies an alcove. A classically trained musician, Diller played the piano, organ and harpsichord.
The Bach Room doubled as her office and a salon. Her baby grand sat on a stage at one end of the room.
Some room names were takes on sight gags: a yellow guest room was called the Canary Suite; the red-walled kitchen, the Scarlet Scullery; a room with an organ in it, the?Pump Room. More than one room was devoted to her wigs and costumes.
But perhaps most reflective of her comic sensibilities are these two: A powder room named the Edith Head for the Academy Award-winning costume designer; and a mirrored telephone room called the John Wilkes Booth.
What a great, legendary comic! ?Want to know more about this listing or other homes on the Westside? ?Contact us at Klein Real Estate for details.
