Before his death, legendary entertainer Dean Martin was famous for many reasons, including hosting lavish parties in his luxurious mansion. The home is for sale for $1.8 million. Take a look inside this modern mansion.
The late actor, singer, and comedian Dean Martin was one of the biggest figures in the entertainment industry during the mid-20th century. Often described as the “King of Cool,” the entertainment legend was known for his charisma and sense of humor.
A man of many talents, Martin built a successful career that spanned many years, and to this day, he is remembered as one of the finest actors in Hollywood. Here’s a look at the icon’s life on and off the big screen.
The couple’s marriage didn’t last long, and after a few years, they separated in 1949. After the divorce, Martin won custody of their children. Shortly after his first divorce, the famous actor married his second wife, Dorothy Jean “Jeanne” Biegger.
MARTIN — THE PROUD FAMILY MAN
For many of today’s famous Hollywood dads, family life is precious because there is so little to share. However, things were a little different for the famous husbands and fathers of the 1950s and 1960s.
Martin was one such man, who focused on being a great family man. In his 78 years, the “The Door Is Still Open To My Heart” singer was married three times and had eight children — seven biological and one adopted.
During his time living in this lavish home, Martin hosted parties and invited many Hollywood stars to attend.
MARTIN’S PALM SPRINGS LUXURY HOME
To this day, Martin is remembered for his great career success and his love of luxury is still talked about. Before his death, the award-winning artist was the proud owner of a lavish apartment located at 447 W. Mariscal Road in the Palm Springs neighborhood.
The neighborhood is not only home to luxurious private and family homes; other buildings are also used for certain events. Martin often joined his Rat Pack friends David Jr. and Sinatra to perform for charity at the Palm Springs Riviera Resort.
The Palm Springs neighborhood, designed by architects Krisel and Palmer, boasts 330 homes. In addition to Martin’s apartment, the homes of celebrities such as Joan Collins, Kirk Douglas, Elvis Presley, and Marilyn Monroe are all located in that environment.
INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR. Martin’s house, known as “The Tea Dance House,” was built in 1954 and measures 2,342 square feet. The interior of the house includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Furthermore, it has a white grand piano located in the living room, alongside several art collections. The fireplace, expensive floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and white terrazzo floors are best described as a masterpiece. The kitchen is fully equipped with a double dishwasher, wine refrigerator, ice maker, double oven, refrigerator, and a six-burner gas stove.
