A slice of music history in Beverly Hills where legend once dwelled—the former home of the King, Elvis Presley, and his bride, Priscilla, rests on a privileged promontory in Trousdale Estates. Behind gated walls, the recently refreshed mid-century estate evokes Presley’s indelible legacy as both cultural icon and archetypal American dreamer. It is currently available for occupancy in exchange for a monthly tribute of $30,000.
The French Regency abode—replete with the echoes of celestial cityscapes and maritime infinity—is a canvas for aristocratic affinities. Within, vaulted chambers bask in California sunlight, illuminated by soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass. The master suite exudes opulence befitting rock royalty—coffered ceilings, marble fireplaces, European inspired finishes. The grounds contain both guest quarters and luxury respites, from the poolside patio to the four-car motor court.
Though the Presleys inhabited this home but briefly, welcoming their only daughter Lisa Marie into the world within its walls, one can still discern echoes of “Jailhouse Rock” in the halls, remnants of the legend born a poor boy from Tupelo, who sang his way into immortality with a hip-shaking snarl and a Heartbreak Hotel soul. This estate once housed an American crown prince and his wife. Though they are gone, behind these gates their spirits may yet linger.
