Pat Boone Seeks Buyer for Longtime Beverly Hills Home

Pat Boone is selling his Beverly Hills estate at a price much higher than “For a Penny.”

The 92-year-old singer has listed his longtime home at 904 North Beverly Drive for just shy of $23 million, Mansion Global reported. Boone and his late wife Shirley, who died in 2019 at age 84, bought the property in 1960 for $159,000.

Boone has lived there ever since, even hosting his friend and peer Elvis Presley for pool days and other visits in the 1960s. Besides Elvis, Boone welcomed other Hollywood A-listers like Gregory Peck and Zsa Zsa Gabor into his home.

The listing marks the first time the estate has publicly hit the market after Boone unsuccessfully shopped it privately more than a decade ago. He listed it in 2014 as a private pocket listing before publicly offering $18.5 million and ultimately pulling it from the market, Robb Report reported.

“When we found this place, it wasn’t my first choice because it’s at the corner of Beverly Drive and Sunset Boulevard, but it was a big lot and a beautiful home with all the bedrooms and baths that we would need, plus a room over the garage that became their playroom on rainy days,” Boone told Mansion Global.

At 92, the “Love Letters in the Sand” crooner is ready to downsize from his massive Beverly Hills manse. “I would probably do better in a smaller place here,” he told Mansion Global. “I don’t need a place this big, but I love it, and I still walk around and enjoy it all.”

Set on just over an acre in the Beverly Hills Flats, the 1939-built Colonial Revival home spans roughly 7,000 square feet with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and a separate guest house. The estate includes formal living and dining rooms, a wood-paneled music room, a home office, a recreation room with a wet bar and pool table and a primary suite with dual bathrooms and a dressing room. Outside, the acre-plus lot has large lawns, mature trees, a brick-lined swimming pool, a basketball court and one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest house that the Boones added during their ownership.
