Betty White's long-time residence in Los Angeles has been listed on the market for an impressive $10.575 million, as reported by the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday. Situated in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood, White shared this home with her late husband, Allen Ludden, until his passing in 1981. The property is expected to garner significant interest, given that White's previous residence in Carmel, California sold for nearly $3 million over its initial listing price. Sotheby's International Realty agent Marlene Okulick is responsible for listing the property.
Being a true Californian at heart, Betty White's estate expressed that she yearned to return to her hometown of Los Angeles, where she spent her formative years, despite initially living in New York with Ludden.
Although White and her husband acquired the house in 1968, it dates back to 1952. The residence, conveniently located near various film and television studios, offered both seclusion and privacy—qualities desired by the couple.
Interested buyers must meet prequalification criteria, and access to tour the interior is currently restricted, as no images of the home's insides are available in the listing. While luxurious by most standards, the property may not match the opulence of its neighboring estates. Boasting five bedrooms and six bathrooms, the house also features a picturesque yard with breathtaking views of the renowned J.
The gardens of White's home are adorned with colorful flowers, complemented by attractive shrubs and trees. Additionally, the house includes a sunroom where Betty would often delight in gazing upon her gardens. The actress' estate likely promotes the home as a teardown due to the high demand for property in this prestigious section of Los Angeles, ensuring a substantial final sale. Alongside the main house, which incorporates a three-car garage, there is also a detached guest house. This separate building served as a popular gathering spot for White and Ludden to engage in lively games of charades with their famous friends, including Burt Reynolds, Jimmy Stewart, Gloria Stewart, and Dinah Shore.
