In 1937 comedian Jack Benny bought this house for $250,000. At nearly 15,000 square feet the home boasts 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. Benny sold the house in 1965 and regretted it for the last 9 years of his life. Years later, Benny’s daughter Joan wanted to buy it back when it went on sale but was priced out of the market for it.
A neighbor, annoyed by gawking tourists, once put up a sign in his front yard, with an arrow pointing to Jack's house, which read: "Jack Benny Does Not Live Here. He Lives There."
