A one-time residence of 1960’s and 70’s actress Raquel Welch has hit the market. The house—situated in the Beverly Hills Post Office neighborhood—is being offered with an asking price of $5.7 million.
The 6,217 square foot main residence represents an amalgam of styles, with a Mediterranean facade. With the guest house, the property contains six bedrooms and eight baths. The home contains an elevator.
The interior of the main house incorporates traditional and modern design styles. A double-height foyer is anchored by a staircase, which features a wrought-iron balustrade in the art deco style. Living room, dining room and kitchen are all traditional; the dining room is very formal, with a cut-glass chandelier, the living room works a fireplace into the layout, and the kitchen is French provincial, with a pair of chandeliers looking a little bit out of place. The home’s family room features a second fireplace, and sets of French doors to one of a pair of balconies.
The master suite features a sitting room with fireplace, and a very large bath involving a great deal of green marble. There is access to the patio and pool area, via another two sets of French doors, from the master’s salon.
The property exterior features a fireplace and lounge. There is a fitness room in the garage.
Raquel Welch’s role in the 1966 Hammer classic ‘One Million Years B.C.’ yielded few lines of dialogue, and one of the most iconic pin-up posters of the era. She went on to appear in dozens of films.
