Priscilla Presley's $16M Beverly Hills House Is Straight Out Of A Fairy Tale

Priscilla Presley is making moves. The former wife of Elvis Presley has placed her longtime Beverly Hills mansion on the market for $16 million after she bought it in the 70s. Built in 1951, the private estate has long been protected from prying eyes, and for the first time in 45 years, we have a chance to take a peek inside.

1. The Rich Italian Villa-Style Mansion

Located in one of the world's most exclusive zip codes, 90210 in Beverly Hills, the 8,952-square-foot storybook-style residence boasts seven bedrooms, eight-and-a-half bathrooms, a tiled swimming pool, and a tennis court.

2. A 'Sanctuary’

Priscilla Presley described the estate as a sanctuary because it is set behind a gated entryway, and is tucked between lush trees offering a mix of splendor and privacy. 

3. The Garden Courtyard

Brick walkways and patios, fountain features, gardens, and creeping vines give the mansion a relaxing feel. 

4. The Living Room

Inside, the living room displays such character details as vaulted ceilings, exposed beams in dark wood, matching framed archways and multiple sets of French doors. 

5. The Living Room 

The cream color of the walls compliments the dark wood ceilings and the white stone fireplace. 

6. The Library/Den Combination Room

Dark wood carries throughout the home. The library/den room is characterized by dark wood ceilings, window panes, several comfortable sofas. Priscilla Presley must have enjoyed many special moments here.

7. A Corner Of A Sitting Room

A Steinway & Sons grand piano sits below a crystal chandelier at the corner of a sitting room. The leaded-glass window fills the space with dewy natural light.

8. The Dining Room

The red velvet curtains provide privacy for the dining room and give the home a medieval feel. 

9. The Master Suite

There are seven bedrooms, which are spread throughout the multi-level home. The master suite comes complete with a fireplace and a cabinet with family photos on it. The curtains provide a relaxing atmosphere and make the room brighter.

Off the suite is a large balcony, featuring a red stone floor and wrought iron railing. You can take in the view of the backyard and the swimming pool from here. 

11. The Primary Bathroom

The glamorous curtains make this bathroom look like it's straight out of a fairy tale. The large ensuite has double sinks and mirrors on a dark wood vanity. It must be relaxing to bath here after a long day.

13. The Swimming Pool

Brick steps lead from the house to this tiled swimming pool.

16. Close To Their Daughter

Priscilla, 75, was married to the legendary singer Elvis Presley from 1967 to 1973. Before Elvis’ death in 1977, Priscilla bought this house so Elvis could be close to their daughter Lisa Marie, who is now 52.
