See the former Frank Sinatra home that Mindy Kaling just bought for $9.55 million
A swanky Malibu house built by Frank and Barbara Sinatra has been sold to actress-comedian Mindy Kaling for $9.55 million, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The Bee wrote about the home in December 2018 when it was listed for $12.9 million. The two-story house, built in 1992, has seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms and 5,824 square feet of living space.
The master suite consists of a lounge, fireplace, sauna and its own hair salon. Other features include beach-formal living and dining areas and a wet bar in the dining area which accommodates both indoor and outdoor entertaining, an elevator with a leopard print design wall covering and a pool.
Kaling, 40, starred in her comedy series “The Mindy Project.” She also wrote, acted, produced and directed for “The Office.”
Toptenrealestatedeals.com, which writes about real estate around the world, said the Broad Beach home may have been the Sinatras’ favorite residence. In her book, Lady Blue Eyes: My Life With Frank, Barbara Sinatra described life in the beach house and “their poker games where jokes and laughter flowed as fast as the food and drinks,” according to the real estate website.
It was a celebrity hangout, according to The Times. Among the stars who regularly visited the estate are Dick Martin, Jack Lemmon, Gregory Peck, Eydie Gormé, Robert Wagner and Dick Van Dyke, listing agent Leonard Rabinowitz, a longtime friend of the Sinatras, told the Times.
With Barbara Sinatra’s death in 2017, her son from a former marriage put the property on the market, toptenrealestatedeals. com reported. Frank Sinatra died in 1998.
The listing agents were Jack Friedkin of Hilton & Hyland and Chris Cortazzo of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.
