When Garrett Camp, Uber’s cofounder, purchased 594 S. Mapleton Dr., Los Angeles, the transaction set a record for a Beverly Hills address. Camp obtained the 56,000 sq. ft. home, known as “The Manor,” for $72.5 million.
The property has a long reputation for glam. Actor-singer Bing Crosby had a home at that address, but new owner Aaron Spelling razed it in 1983. Spelling was the influential producer of 1980s television hits, including The Love Boat, Dynasty, and Beverly Hills 90210.
The structure’s unique “W” design broadcasts its wondrous scope immediately upon viewing; the home comprises rolling lawns, a rose garden, 14 bedrooms, 27 baths, and even an onsite beauty parlor.
The foyer sets a tony tone immediately, welcoming owners to a lux retreat and introducing visitors to a wholly unique dwelling.
The formal living room is impressively designed, from the intricate filigree accents on the ceiling to the wall of windows providing an attractive view.
The living room is an ideal spot to spend time with guests before heading into the nearby dining room. Whether a menu includes caviar or corn on the cob, this setting adapts seamlessly.
The floor plan includes numerous spaces to host casual gatherings. This den, for example, is well-suited to an after-dinner brandy, cigars, and engaging conversations.
Another casual space is this comfortable but upscale spot for watching television or simply enjoying the cozy fireplace.
Want some more immersive pastimes? The onsite movie theater is well-suited to escaping real-world pressures for a Hollywood drama, comedy, western, or sci-fi adventure.
The homeowners can also engage in some healthy competition and light exercise, thanks to the home’s inclusion of a bowling alley.
The back of the property offers a bigger cardio challenge: laps in the gorgeous pool.
And to get the owner’s heart rate up a little higher, a set of tennis can be had just steps away.
After all that exercise, it might be time to retire to the master suite. It is an absolute haven, offering relaxation, quiet, and solitude.
