Legendary comedian Bob Hope had serious real estate in his portfolio. After his death in 2003 and that of his wife, Dolores, in 2011, the legacy of his properties lives on. The couple's compound in Los Angeles can still be picked up for $12 million.
While no doubt a hefty sum, it's a fraction of its original asking price. It was initially listed in 2013 for $27.5 million and reduced to $23 million in early 2015. In late 2015, the price was slashed again to its current figure. Yet this prestigious piece of property sits on the market.
While the price has gone down, nothing has changed in the mansion. Features of the private, gated space on 2.6 acres in the exclusive Toluca Lake neighborhood include a 14,876-square-foot main home, a two-bedroom guesthouse and staff quarters, a one-hole golf course and putting green, manicured grounds, and a pool.
