Elvis Presley's Former Hillcrest Drive Home has sold for $14.5 Million
Wednesday, March 19, 2014, by Bianca Barragan
Elvis Presley's French Regency home in the fancy Trousdale Estates located at 1174 Hillcrest Drive has been sold.
The house has been on quite the rollercoaster since it popped onto the market in the fall of 2012. The house, built in 1958, sold for $9.8 million in December that year to Peter Morton, founder of the Hard Rock Cafe. ($3.195 million below the asking price.) Immediately there were rumors that Morton wanted to tear down the house and, though these plans were never official, the issue quickly became fraught: It turned out that the house was designed by Rex Lotery, listed on Bev Hills's newly-adopted Master List of Architects Whose Work Shall Not Be Harmed (ok, the list isn't that powerful, but it's a factor in preservation). Then, just last month, the house was up for rent for $45,000 (!!!), but now, the ever-reliable Real Estalker tells us that the house has sold (off-market, of course) for $14.5 million (and a tidy profit) to a "mysterious corporate entity."
