Hugh Hefner Selling $28M Mansion

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner is unloading the Holmby Hills mansion adjacent to the Playboy Mansion for $27,995,000. The mansion has been home to his estranged wife Kimberly and their two teenage sons since the late 1990s.

The two-story, 7,300-square-foot (700 square meters) English manor-style personal residence was built in 1929 and purchased by Hefner in 1998.

It has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a library and commons for staff. Some of the walls are hand-painted, and there is a hand-carved staircase.

The home sits on 2.3 acres (one hectare), borders the Los Angeles Country Club and has a pool.

The two homes share a fence and the boys, heading off to college, could easily walk between their parents' respective houses.

The Hefners married in 1989 and despite appearances otherwise, never divorced.

Here is a Google map from above the two homes. The Playboy Mansion's backyard appears to have been tented at the time it was taken:

Not a good idea, Hef. Assisted living has gotten pretty expensive.

[BobDobbs757]

So does that include free party crashing whenever you like it?

[Faraja]

If you look really close at the Google map, you can see Bill Maher in the Grotto.

Do you get a case of Lysol and Clorox when the sale closes?

[Cuyahoga]

I'm sure many skeevy old men will jump at the opportunity to buy this property...

[MyGuyO]

It's about time, Hef. Give it up...and all the very young grandaughter-age girlies, too.

I always visioned staying at the mansion would be like at weekend at Bernie's. Hef died years ago, but they just keep propping him up and taking photo's with him.

And I can only imagine someone with morals going in and coming out feeling like they can't wash off the immorality that was inside his mansion.

The girls adulate over Hef while they're getting exposure but once it comes time to have children they want no parts of his life or him. The boys' mother left him because of his lifestyle but she had been part of it.

one down... how many more left??

[firewmn]

So he isn't selling the "Bunny Hutch".. only a ex's place... ooohh...
