One of the first homes built in Hollywoodland in 1920 was once owned by Madonna

A former Madonna residence in the Hollywood Hills is going on the market for $21 miโ„“โ„“io๐š—. The approximately 10,500 square foot Spanish-style home features views of the famous Hollywood sign.

The 1920s-era home, known as Castillo del Lago, is situated on a ridge beneath the famous Hollywood sign. According to a memoir authored by her brother, Christopher Ciccone, Madonna purchased the home for about $5 miโ„“โ„“io๐š— in 1993 and sold it in 1996.

Records indicate that fashion designer Leon Max of Max Studio is the current owner of the home.

According to the 2007 book โ€œHouses of Los Angeles,โ€ the Spanish-style villa, created by renowned architect John DeLario, was one of the first houses constructed in Hollywoodland, a neighborhood that began as a 1920s real-estate development.

The house has since become a local monument. Later, according to the movie database IMDb, scenes from the 1984 film โ€œBeverly Hills Copโ€ were filmed there.

According to records, Madonna sold the home to commercial director Joe Pytka, who then sold it for $7 miโ„“โ„“io๐š— to Mr. Max. Mr. Max claimed that after buying the house, he gave the turrets and retaining walls their original weathered-white hue.

A breezeway was also opened by him in order to โ€œgain back something resembling a minstrelโ€™s gallery overhษ‘๐š—gi๐š—g the main inner courtyard.โ€ According to him, he replanted าบanging gardens with vines including fig ivy, wisteria, and jasmine.

The nine-bedroom home, which is around 10,500 square feet, includes views of Lake Hollywood and downtown Los Angeles. The property consists of a pair of towers, one functioning as the entrance, showcasing a stunning spiral staircase and an antique elevator with wooden paneling.

Within the primary suite, a second tower is present with lounge furniture. The property is adorned with opulent architectural features such as terracotta flooring, coffered ceilings, vibrant tilework, and Moorish-style arched entrances throughout.

Elaborate wooden beams embellish the two-story living room while the central courtyard is graced with a fountain and an outdoor fireplace. Additionally, the property has numerous terraces, a wine room, a media room, and an outdoor lap pool.
