- LOS ANGELES: Candy Spelling has officially, and finally, sold her beloved Candyland mansion.
- The 56,500 square-foot, Holmby Hills home includes 27 baths - not including the one that Spelling took on the sale.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Spelling, the widow of TV producer Aaron Spelling and mother of actress Tori Spelling, has sold the 4.7-acre estate to 22-year-old, British racing Formula 1 racing heiress Petra Ecclestone, after it sat on the market for a little over two years. And it appears that Spelling is among the victims of the current depressed housing market; while Candy had been asking $150 million for the home, which was built in 1991, Ecclestone picked it up for a mere $85 million cash - just over half of what Spelling had been seeking.
Still a princely sum, but Ecclestone - who's marrying entrepreneur James Stunt next month and plans to use Candyland as a part-time residence - is getting a lot for her (or rather, her father's) money: The mansion has an estimated 123 rooms, including 14 bedrooms, several gift-wrapping rooms, and an on-site beauty salon. Oh, and there's also a bowling alley, a 17,000-square-foot attic, and a flower-cutting room.
