Famed actor Cary Grant‘s former Beverly Hills estate has been put on the market by his widow, Barbara, after undergoing an extraordinary transformation to turn it into a modern manse worthy of its impressive Hollywood legacy.
The property spans 2.36 acres—at the heart of which sits a 15,700-square-foot residence filled with luxury amenities that has soared to the top of the week’s most expensive homes list.
Barbara, now 74, inherited the property and the original 1940s abode after the famed actor died in 1986, and recently spent six years transforming it into a lavish megamansion with the help of her second husband, real estate investor David Jaynes.
The gated three-level dwelling, which took six years to complete, offers views spanning from the Pacific Ocean to downtown Los Angeles, rift-sawn white oak flooring, a limestone fireplace, oversized windows, and a designer kitchen.
Other highlights include a climate-controlled 640-bottle wine room, a sculptural staircase, a primary suite with dual bathrooms and walk-in closets, “multiple” guest suites, a “glam room,” massage room, an art studio, and full fitness center.
It also has 7,200 square feet of outdoor terraces that overlook a 52-foot pool and tennis court.
Other jaw-dropping estates to make this week’s most expensive list include a three-story penthouse at the Surf Club, Four Seasons Private Residences in Florida, a mountain mansion in Wyoming with ski-out amenity, and another Beverly Hills megamansion that originally hit the market in 2022 for an eye-watering $87 million.
