Beverly House: Yours for £60m, the LA mansion used by JFK on his honeymoon 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. The house was built in 1925 by English-born architect Gordon Kaufman, the man best known for his work on the Hoover Dam. It 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. Source: South West News
