After just a month and a half on the market, Betty White’s last Los Angeles home has officially sold. Listed for $10.575 million, the home fetched more than asking with a final price of $10.678 million. The property measures in just shy of three quarters of an acre, with the colonial-style home set at a comfortable distance from the street, and a large backyard.
The late Golden Girls star bought the home with her then-husband Allen Ludden in 1968, relatively soon after it was built in 1952. The space was reportedly her primary residence in the 53 years between the purchase and her death in December of 2021, its Brentwood location allowing for a convenient proximity to studios. “Betty White was a California girl through and through,” White’s estate said in a statement to Wall Street Journal. “Despite living in New York when she and Allen Ludden were first married, she longed to be ‘back home’ in Los Angeles where she grew up.”

Though there’s a main house, a guesthouse, and a three car garage on the land currently, it was sold as a teardown. No prospective buyers were allowed into the 3,029 square foot home, though the land and location speaks for itself. Mature trees dot the property, particularly along the perimeter, providing a quaint atmosphere and ample privacy from neighbors, and residents can also enjoy views of the mountains and the Getty Museum.
The listing was held by Marlene Okulick of Sotheby’s International Realty Pacific Palisades Brokerage.
