A Beverly Hills megamansion that singer Mariah Carey once rented hit the market Monday asking $31.99 million.
The 15,000-square-foot residence, inspired by a mashup of European architectural styles from Baroque to Louis XV, is located on a 0.6-acre lot on Laurel Way.
The three-story home includes eight bedrooms, and an entryway that features a 30-foot rotunda and not one, but two imposing double stairways, one outdoors and one indoors.
It was built by a Russian couple who immigrated in the 1970s, and set about building their dream home, much to their neighbors’ consternation.
“I used all of what Europe has to offer,” Natalie Glosman, whose husband Leonid is a dentist, told Today.com in 2014.
The Glosmans purchased the land for $2.2 million in 1988 and sold the home in 2019 for $30 million. The buyer was a California entity, BHLW LLC, according to property records.
Last year, Mariah Carey rented the house for three months in the spring, which was asking for $125,000 in monthly rent at the time. The Queen of Christmas then partnered with Booking.com.
The house has some additional Hollywood elan, as it served as filming location on several occasions.
Danny DeVito and one of the cast members of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” have been filmed there, according to Today, and in the second season of “True Detective,” it stood in for the “incredibly gaudy” home of the corrupt and alcoholic mayor Austin Chessani, according to Curbed.
Alla Furman and David Kramer of Hilton & Hyland/Forbes Global Properties are marketing the property.
