A Piece Of Hollywood History Hits The Market
An opulent home that once served as Frank Sinatra’s Los Angeles bachelor pad has been listed for sale for the first time in 53 years. Known as Villa Dorada, the 7,400-square-foot Spanish-style mansion was built in 1929. A home with such prestige does not come cheap, and it is currently listed at $7.5 million.
The hilltop property, located at 2200 Maravilla Drive, sits in a quiet cul-de-sac in the Outpost Estates neighborhood. A step inside reveals a perfectly preserved piece of Los Angeles’ Golden Age. According to the official listing held by Compass Real Estate:
