Inside An Iconic $21,000,000 Mansion Once Owned By Madonna | On The Market | Architectural Digest

День тому

Today Architectural Digest takes you to the famed Hollywood Hills for a tour of the iconic Castillo Del Lago, currently on the market for $21,000,000. Built in 1926 by architect John DeLario, this stunning hillside mansion is an epitomic example of Spanish-colonial design in southern California-and was once home to the 'Queen of Pop' Madonna.

For such a large house, each room feels cozy, and steeped in history. I prefer the view of the lake...it looks like Italy. I love that the current owner took advantage of the Moorish style, and enhanced it with all the lovely fabrics. I definitely prefer this to those slick marble, steel, and glass mansions with no heart. My house is much smaller, but the colored tile, arches, nooks, and built-ins give it much the same feel. Great in-depth tour.

@robertfraser9873 Рік тому

I always thought that this was Madonna's most beautiful home. It seemed to be her style as she looks loves Spanish style things. I actually loved how she had it painted pink and yellow stripes. Even though it should have been intense, it really wasn't. I think she probably left because this house was spoiled for her because it's where her stalker Robert Hopkins broke in and got into the garden. He was only stopped from making it inside the house because her security spotted him and manage to shoot him in the leg so that he was stopped from making it any further into the grounds.

Madonna wrote my #1, absolute favorite album of hers, Bedtime Stories, there. She sold it because a stalker scaled her wall with the intention of killing her. She wasn’t home at the time but her security shot the guy. I believe he’s still in a ward. God, I’d give anything to walk around this house and just look around. Haha. Thank you for this video.

@@artisthusnatalal3099 The stalker thing happened in 1995. She even had to testify against him in court. He was in prison for several years but has shown no sign of improvement so he’s in some kind of psychiatric place somewhere. A few years ago it was in the news that he had escaped but he was eventually caught. Madonna sold the house soon after giving birth to her first daughter because she didn’t feel the house was safe.
