Late Frank Sinatra’s hideaway home has been put on the market again, and this time for a reduced price of 3.7 million dollars.
Sinatra designed the retreat in the late 1960s with architect Ross Patten and contractor Albinas Zemaitaitus. The home took three years to complete at a cost of 1.9 million dollars, Fox News reported.
It had been designed as a hangout for Sinatra and his Rat Pack buddies, but the home, which was first listed in 2009 for 4.8 million dollars, also hosted a variety of other celebrities and politicians.
The actor had named the home “Villa Maggio” after his Oscar-winning role as
Private Angelo Maggio in the film ‘From Here to Eternity’, and he had owned it for 12 years before he donated it to Loyola Marymount University.
Evidently, the school didn’t make use of it and sold it in 1989 for 1.4 million dollars. Perched on seven-plus acres of elevated granite terrain, Villa Maggio includes a main house and two guest homes, a pool, helipad, and a total of 9 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, many with views of the surrounding hills.
