"Built in 1913, the home is set behind iron gates at the end of a 100-yard, tree-lined driveway. Behind a yellow exterior topped with clay tile, the floor plan holds nine bedrooms, seven bathrooms and an abundance of grand formal spaces. Ceiling medallions, columns, paneled walls, splashes of marble and parquet and herringbone floors are among details found throughout the four-story floor plan."
"The estate is known casually as the "Dynasty" mansion for its use as the setting of a famous fight scene between Krystle and Alexis in the 1980s soap opera "Dynasty." The property also has credits that include such films as "Terms of Endearment" and "Billy Madison." Former owners of the estate include David Zander, a film and commercial producer, and Leslie Tolan, producer of "The Larry Sanders Show.""
"It's a hefty price tag but something of a discount considering the property's history. The estate last sold for $20 million in 2013 and in 2017 was put up for sale at a whopping $28 million."
