Elizabeth Taylor: Bel Air Mansion Sold to Unnamed Buyer

The Bel Air mansion belonging to Elizabeth Taylor been sold to an unnamed buyer. Details of the purchase price have also not been released. The house, a 1960's ranch-style, was where the Oscar-winning actress lived for 30 years, before she died of congestive heart failure in March. Taylor lived to be 79. The market price was $8.6 million. Christopher Wilding, Elizabeth's son, said "(The house was) where we all gathered, especially at Thanksgiving and Easter... She never entertained the notion of moving."

It's nice to have a home that holds so many cherished memories. Surely, whoever did purchase Taylor's house will create many of their own memories - hopefully in the same spirit as Elizabeth Taylor.

Taylor's Bel Air estate was, according to Mossler Properties, "fully gated and secured. "The luxurious hilltop residence sits on approximately 1.27 acres and has a private driveway, bricked motor court, swimming pool and stunning landscaping."

Elizabeth Taylor's Bel Air mansion sounds like a dream - it's no wonder the actress planned to spend her life in that house.

The main floor consisted of "a large, galley-style country kitchen, powder room, lower master suite, two family bedrooms with garden access, and maid's quarters." The upper level has a master suite that "offers treetop views, master bath with spa tub, adjacent dressing room/salon and two smaller bedrooms".

Not only does the buyer of the property now own a beautiful house - the home comes with the treasured memory of Elizabeth Taylor residing there.
