Larry Hagman’s Santa Monica ocean-front penthouse sold for $5.2 million
Larry Hagman’s Santa Monica ocean-front penthouse was put up for sale in January, two months after the star passed away following a yearlong battle with cancer.
After 63 days on the market the home finally sold on February 28, according to property managers Surterre Properties.
The penthouse had been listed at $5.2 million, but no sales price was named in the press release.
As Larry Hagman’s wife of 58 years, Maj Axelsson, is suffering from Alzheimers, their Ojai, California estate was also posted for sale.
As of March, Larry Hagman’s Ojai estate, which he appropriately named “Heaven”, is still available for sale for just under $6.5 million, according real estate brokers Kogevinas, who represent the property.
The spectacular property boasts a 20,000 square-foot home with nine bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and five swimming pools.
The Tuscan-style home also has a man-made babbling creek, 400 rose bushes as well as olive, grapefruit, lime, orange, and avocado trees.
However, the sprawling property’s best feature is the mind-blowing 360-degree view of the mountains and Pacific Ocean.
