On the left of Cage's house, you see the house with the oval pool.<br /><br />2. Click on the "s" on the "compass". Not the arrow next to the "s", the actual "s". This will switch the map to a different angle which is a more recent photo. <br /><br />Now you will see Cage's house at the top left, the house people think is Grey's to the right, and the house Mama posted a photo of in the bottom left -- on the previously vacant lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-17657461494825925752009-04-23T21:18:00.000-07:002009-04-23T21:18:00.000-07:00I am a bit confused on how osme of these homes are...I am a bit confused on how osme of these homes are selling. I have spoken with several high end builders in LA recently who are so desperate for business that you can now build these high quality homes at a fraction of what you usta be able to. $400 / sq ft now builds you an awsome house. That said, but the last lot in Beverly Park that is $10mm, build a 30k sq ft house for $12m and have only spent $22m for a bigger house that is exaclty what you wanted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-62939956563586005852009-04-23T21:13:00.000-07:002009-04-23T21:13:00.000-07:00Wow, no wonder this house sold before Nic Cages. ...Wow, no wonder this house sold before Nic Cages.

However, previously there was a home on the property. It too was a large Georgian-style home, although not as large as the new one, and during the 1930s was the California residence of actress Merle Oberon and her husband, producer Alexander Korda (they also had a beach cottage, an apartment in New York City and rented a manor house in Denham, England. The April 1990 Architectural Digest - Academy Awards Collectors' Edition includes a number of photographs. It was a charming home, but probably wasn't considered big enough for the owners who built the current one. <br />-- Armchair Architectural HistorianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-59528724635945765442009-04-23T20:15:00.000-07:002009-04-23T20:15:00.000-07:00now that it has been established that this home is...now that it has been established that this home is new, here are some pictures!<br /><br />more pics here:<br />http://www.hablinski-manion.com/gallery.asp?pcid=12291491754689&cid=C%20%20Bel-Air%20ResidenceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-74610254254595484522009-04-23T18:13:00.000-07:002009-04-23T18:13:00.000-07:00My bad.
