The Nancy Sinatra House, a veritable midcentury-modern time capsule in Beverly Hills, California, recently walked off the market. You might even say it speed-walked, having sold for $50,000 above the asking price in less than three weeks.
Listed at $2,950,000, the four-bedroom, 3.5-bath, ranch-style pad went for $3 million.
Built in 1963, the perfectly preserved property last changed hands in 1973 for a scant $103,000. The Robb Report says the 1973 buyers’ daughter is the seller today.
Much of the singer’s swinging style has been left intact, including walls of gold-crackle mirrors; parquet wood floors; and a padded, geometric martini bar illuminated by Mediterranean lighting.
There are numerous photos in the listing of Frank Sinatra’s eldest daughter enjoying her swanky pad, including one shot in the primary suite, with her boots pulled out of the walk-in closet.
The listing also includes photos of Nancy perched perkily in her living room, which is decked out with glass walls; sliders; and a unique, double-sided, upholstered architectural fireplace.
The formal library is also a unique feature in this 2,785-square-foot home.
The existing kitchen is reported to be original, too. And while there are no listing photos of it, the listing description notes that this is a “wonderful opportunity to restore this midcentury gem with a glamorous Hollywood history!”
Outdoors, there are also numerous period accoutrements on the .28-acre lot, including a front courtyard paved with herringbone brick, a wrought-iron bench supported by chains attached to a wall, and an outdoor feature wall with Grecian urns.
The back of the property sports a pentagon-shaped pool, green-and-white striped awnings, and a wooden deck overlooking verdant hills.
Nancy Sinatra, 83, is known for 1960s hits like “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’,” “Sugartown,” and “Somethin’ Stupid”—a duet with her father. She also starred on the big screen — her last film was the musical, “Speedway,” with Elvis Presley. Plus, she appeared on classic television shows such as “The Ed Sullivan Show” and “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In.”
