According to data from ATTOM Data Solutions, from the second quarter of this year, the average house price in the US is 255,000 USD. However, Business Insider said that in Los Angeles, a villa is worth up to 960 times more than this figure. The Chartwell Estate is being offered for sale at $245 million and has become the most expensive home in the US.
The Chartwell Estate is located on a campus of more than 4.2 hectares in Bel Air, Los Angeles. According to a real estate company, this is the area with the most prestigious residential community in the city.
This villa is owned by construction engineer Lynn Atkinson. It was designed in 1930 and completed a few years later. Not long after, The Chartwell Estate was resold to Univision billionaire - A. Jerrold Perenchio.
In the 80s, billionaire Jerrold Perenchio - the new owner of the villa, carried out a major renovation to bring the neoclassical style of the 18th century of France to The Chartwell Estate. Designer Henri Samuel was given the task.
The renovation of the villa includes the interior, however, all images inside are kept secret. According to international media, this most expensive villa in the US is over 2,300m2 wide, with a total of 11 bedrooms, 18 bathrooms and a dance room.
In addition, this villa also has a car display room with a capacity of up to 40 cars, a wine wine wine cellar for 12,000 bottles, a tennis court and a guest house with 5 bedrooms.
The garden around The Chartwell Estate is carefully designed and pruned to look like flower gardens in French castles.
Inside the villa's premises, there is also a blue swimming pool about 23m long.
Not limited to a small space, the panoramic view of this $245 million villa can extend from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean.
The Chartwell Estate was the setting for the TV series The Beverly Hillbillies aired in the US in the period of 1962-201.
Many people can "fever" with the price of 245 million USD of this villa. However, last year, it was offered for sale at $ 350 million. Despite a decrease of more than $100 million, this is still the most expensive home in the US.
According to Business Insider, if Chartwell is successfully offered for sale, it will break the record of another villa in Los Angeles. Previously, in April this year, a villa in Malibu was successfully traded for $110 million.
