Why is legendary crooner Pat Boone selling now?
At 92, Boone told Mansion Global it is time to downsize. "I would probably do better in a smaller place here," he said. "I don't need a place this big, but I love it, and I still walk around and enjoy it all."
After 66 years raising his family in the home he bought for his late wife Shirley and their four daughters, the move marks a major chapter for one of America's most enduring pop icons.
What makes this Beverly Hills estate special?
The two-story white stucco residence sits behind gates and hedges on more than an acre at the iconic corner of Beverly Drive and Sunset Boulevard, steps from the Beverly Hills Hotel. Completed in the late 1930s, the home is positioned as a renovation or development opportunity.
Inside, a carved stone portico leads to a central hallway with a curving timber staircase. Formal living and dining rooms flank the entry, while a retro kitchen with a breakfast banquette opens to a recreation room with a wet bar and pool table. A wood-paneled music room, home office with fireplace, and an upstairs primary suite with a mirrored dressing area and dual baths round out the roughly 7,000 square feet.
Outdoors, a rectangular swimming pool, flagstone terrace, sprawling lawns, a guesthouse, and a basketball court beside a three-car garage complete the compound.
Has Boone tried to sell this home before?
Yes. Boone first attempted to sell the property in 2014, quietly shopping it as a private pocket listing before publicly offering it for $18.5 million. He ultimately withdrew that listing and held on to the residence.
The new ask of nearly $23 million reflects the property's return after more than a decade off the market. For more celebrity property stories, see our Luxury Real Estate & Dream Homes coverage.
How does this home connect to rock-and-roll history?
Back in the late 1950s, Boone and Elvis Presley ranked as the nation's two biggest pop stars—Boone with his wholesome image and Presley with his rebellious edge. Despite their contrasting styles, the Tennessee natives were close friends, and Presley often visited Boone at this Beverly Hills address.
