The stunning Los Angeles mansion used by John F. Kennedy on his honeymoon has been put up for sale for a staggering $95 million.
Beverly House is a 29-bedroom property nestled in the middle of the world famous 90210 zip cod, just a few streets from Sunset Boulevard.
Staggering: The Beverly House has 29 bedrooms, 40 bathrooms, a nightclub, a cinema and a living room with 22-foot ceilings
In addition to hosting the newlyweds in 1953, Beverly House was also used for a number of scenes in The Godfather including the infamous 'horse's head' moment, as well as the house used in The Bodyguard with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.
The hefty price-tag might sound ultra-expensive but it is deal compared to the $165 million it was advertised for in 2007.
Boasting 70,000sq ft of interior space, the airy mansion includes a 50-foot entry hall with loggia, living room with 22-foot high arched ceilings, and a library.
It has a whopping 29 bedrooms, 40 bathrooms, night club, movie theater and a billiard room containing herringbone parquet floors and a massive carved stone fireplace mantle from San Simeon.
The house was built in 1925 by English born architect Gordon Kaufman, the man best known for his work on the Hoover Dam.
President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier were married in September 1953, after JFK was elected US Senator. He was 36. She, just 24 at the time of their wedding
The Kennedys were married at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Newport, Rhode Island as part of a massive ceremony with more than 800 guests
The home was bought by banker Milton Getz but its most famous owner was publishing giant William Randolph Hearst.
The media mogul was given the property as a gift by US actress Marion Davies in 1946, with his 'mistress' paying just $120,000 for the mansion.
Built out of terra-cotta stucco, the H-shaped residence combines Spanish and Italian style. It has intricately carved ceilings and panelled walls, French doors, balconies, arched ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, which overlook cascading waterfalls to the pool and the Venetian columns beyond the pool house.
Outside, the property boasts 3.7-acres of landscaped gardens, and includes a 75-foot long swimming pool, two tennis courts and a sit-down dining area for up to 400.
