Dream house' built by Bob Hope where the actor lived with his family for 64 years and later died put on the market for $23 million, He was legendary for the parties that were thrown at his UFO-shaped house in Palm Springs.
But the home Bob Hope actually lived in with his family - and where he died in 2003 - in Los Angeles has been put up on the market for $23 million.

The Toluca Lake mansion - called The Hope Estate, naturally -  is set on 5.2-acres in the San Fernando Valley and has everything you would expect from the screen and stage veteran and his wife, Dolores.

Avid golfers, the pair installed a one-hole, 3-par course in their backyard, which was so big that President Nixon's helicopter once landed there, Yahoo Homes reported.

Linda Hope, one of the couple's four children, said it was her parents' 'dream house'.Built in 1939, the six bedroom, seven bathroom house is drenched in history.

From the guests it had entertained - Lucille Ball was a regular - to a long-running family joke that Dolores would 'add a room' whenever her husband went away on tour.

'When Dad came back, Mother would joke that he'd need a road map to find the bedroom,' Linda told The LA Times. The home has been renovated over the years, including an extensive overhaul in the 1950s that installed walls of glass.

There is a family room, bar and billiard room, formal dining room, informal dining room, a library and an office
The grounds feature a glass-encased indoor pool as well as an outdoor pool and a rose garden, according to Forbes.

There is also a two-bedroom, two-bath pool house plus a 4,000-square-foot guest house, where Hope’s staff lived.
