Larry King Lists Beverly Hills Mansion for $17 Million

Radio host extraordinaire Larry King has recently listed his Beverly Hills mansion for a cool $16.9 million. The mansion listing comes about amid King’s split from singer/actress Shawn Southwick, the two originally purchased the home together for $11.7 million in 2007.

King’s mansion listing has opened up a window into the life of the media magnate, giving anyone who can afford it an opportunity to experience the luxury seven-bed, nine-bath estate that King enjoyed for for the past twelve years. The estate is set on a gated lot that spans half an acre, giving the media recluse plenty of space from the prying eyes of the paparazzi. Another layer of privacy is provided by tall hedges around the guest house and pool area.

Once you enter the main 10.700 square foot estate, you are greeted by an magnus opus of architecture, a distinctly Mediterranean style that bosts a glamorous double height ceiling and dual staircases, covered in sandy, taupe hues that spark a sense of old world terra cotta. The villa also boasts italian limestone tiles, with plaster used throughout the home to further the atmosphere of a Tuscan villa.

On one side of the entryway is the dining room, across from the extravagant living room, furnished with an inviting set of upholstry carefully placed around the spacious lodge.

Other perks include a fitness room, a game room, and an arched loggia with stone columns outside the front door fit for a king.
