If you were a fan of Johnny Carson, you should know that his mansion is up for sale. Find out what it looks like and what it's listed for.
While it’s true that California real estate prices in particular are often high, and that celebrity homes are often out of the price range of the average buyer, it can still come as a shock when the price tag is revealed. This is the case with the Johnny Carson mansion. The Compass listing recently went live, and while the lot size and size of the home are substantial, the nearly $40 million asking price still boggles the mind. But if you’ve got that kind of money, or are just curious to see what Carson’s home looks like today, it’s still fun to peruse the photos and listing details.
What Are the Specs on the Johnny Carson Mansion?
$40 million is a lot of money, so what exactly would you get for that sum? According to the listing, the Bel Air mansion is a little over 9,000 square feet, features six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, and sits on an acre and a half lot. Photos of the property show a large “motor court” in front of the house, leaving you plenty of parking if you wanted to host parties.
What Are the Standout Features of the Mansion?
A quick flip through the photos in the listing shows the grounds are immaculately kept and look more like a resort than the backyards many of us played in as kids. There’s a showstopping picture of one of the bathrooms featuring a soaking tub, a large vanity, and a fireplace. If you’re looking for a luxurious space to unwind in after a long day, this certainly makes the list.
The Compass listing also highlights several lovely features, including:
- two large garages
- high ceilings
- a basement with a wine cellar
- a wet bar
- pocket doors throughout the home
- a gourmet kitchen
- custom built-ins and wood paneling
- expansive views
- a detached, two-story guest house
- a tiered fountain
- a “signature oval swimming pool“
- a sun deck
- a cabana
- a tennis court that is “uniquely supported by its own pavilion with a covered seating area, kitchenette, and dedicated powder room.”
Additionally, the property is “secured by private gates and a dedicated security booth.” So if you’re looking for the feel of a gated community but limited to just your property, you’re set. The listing closes by describing this property as “a truly iconic luxury property ensconced within a private, park-like environment in one of the world’s most coveted locations.”
