A mega mansion located at 1201 Laurel Way is then again in the market after being sold just over a year and a half. According to LA Curbed, the Beverly Hills mansion was sold for $31 million and now it is reportedly back in the market for $42 million.
The Real Deal shared that the house features six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, surrounded with glass walls, own screening rooms, personal gym and an over-the-top 1,000-bottle wine cellar. It also includes a massive infinity pool which appears to surround half of the entire house, as well as a relaxing Zen garden.
LA Curbed reported that the house is also known for its history of controversies which includes borderline illegal permitting as well as neighborhood lawsuits. In 2006, then-owner of the house Richard Papalian tried to demolish the 4,318-square-foot one-story house which was already there since 1957.
The city then allowed Papalian to only tear-down 50 percent of the whole structure but instead he tore down 90 percent of it. And with that he built a mansion with all the tacky trimmings that goes with it. The 1950's one-story house became an 11,200-square-foot, glass-walled mega mansion. The three-story house is 9 feet taller than the allowed neighborhood restrictions. His neighbors sued him for what he did but according to Papalian the city allowed him with all the remodeling he did but then the city denied it.
In October 2013, the mansion was in the market for $36 million but it was sold for $31 million four months later. The owner who bought the house put it back in the market again with a good markup. But this time the owner did not do any renovations and in some what looks the same as how it was for the past months. The potential buyer will still enjoy the luxury that the mansion got to offer.
