It was her final home, now Betty White’s cherished California house sells for $10.7M
The bright yellow front door that graced the front of comedy icon Betty White’s longtime Brentwood home has a new owner.
According to multiple news outlets including Architectural Digest, the place where the legend died sold for $10.67 million — about $100,000 aboveasking price — over a month after gracing the California real estate market.
Only thing is, the five-bedroom, six-bathroom house was being sold as a teardown, so that vivid yellow door might be no more. The land the home resides on will offer a new owner a “unique opportunity to build” their dream home, the listing on Sotheby’s International Realty said, McClatchy News reported.
The “Golden Girls” actor and her husband, game show host Allen Ludden, bought the 3,029-square-foot home in the 1960s. White spent her final days in the house, where she died on Dec. 29, 2021, her good friend and agent Jeff Witjas said.
“She really is a homebody, so towards the end of her life, she spent most of her life at home, almost all of it,” he said according to ETOnline.com. “She was very comfortable. It was her home.”
White also owned a jaw-dropping vacation home in the coastal city of Carmel, California, a place that was referred to as “her special sanctuary,” which sold for $10.77 million, McClatchy News reported.
The beloved actor had brilliant comedy timing in every show she starred in, and became a household name after starring on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” Later in life, she starred in numerous films including “The Proposal” and television programs such as “Hot in Cleveland,” Biography said.
