Frank Sinatra’s Iconic Los Angeles Home on the Market

In the words of Frank Sinatra, “It’s just money.” Well, that sentiment might mean something different when it comes to his long-cherished Los Angeles bachelor pad, which is hitting the market for $7.5 million—its first availability in over 50 years.

Situated at 2200 Maravilla Drive, this distinguished mansion captures the essence of Old Hollywood with its luxurious features and breathtaking vistas stretching from downtown Los Angeles all the way to the Pacific Ocean.

John Zaffarano, a real estate agent, reflects on the home’s lively past, noting, “When you remember that Frank Sinatra actually lived here, you can imagine the parties and energy that once filled this room.”

This expansive property spans 7,400 square feet and includes six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and a sparkling pool, along with rare original elements, like Art Deco magnesite floors and the original intercom system. There’s even a quaint telephone room that adds to its historical charm.

Known as Villa Dorada, the estate is a “meticulously preserved 1929 Spanish Revival estate,” according to Zaffarano, and it marks the first time this home has been publicly listed in over five decades.

Villa Dorada has been a significant part of Hollywood’s story, having welcomed iconic figures such as Bela Lugosi and Oscar-winning songwriter Jimmy Van Heusen during its heyday.

Sinatra transformed the mansion into one of the standout bachelor pads of his time, sharing the space with noteworthy friends like Van Heusen.

To present the home’s splendor, a luxury staging studio collaborated to emphasize its historic architecture, demonstrating its compatibility with modern lifestyles. Ryan Worthington, the senior designer, remarked, “From the moment you walk through the front door, you can feel the historic beauty in every detail,” adding that the design seeks to complement rather than overshadow the home’s original features.

Notably, Villa Dorada isn’t the only property connected to Sinatra making waves on the market. Earlier this year, a mid-century modern mansion briefly rented by Sinatra in Chatsworth sold for $8 million.

Additionally, in May, a home once owned by Sinatra’s fourth wife, Barbara, was sold for $2.25 million, capturing further interest in the legacy of the legendary singer.
