Did millions in renovations and reaped a tidy profit upon selling it. Ive stayed in it several times and photographed much of the insides for our Annual Report. I was bummed when we sold it. Its a super nice property. It was known as the western whitehouse for many years as most of the presidents between 1965 1990 stayed there while visiting the LA area.
