Dolly Parton's Former Bird Streets Estate Lists for $7.95 Million in Los Angeles
A residence in the Bird Streets, previously owned by Dolly Parton and Carl Dean, has hit the market for $7.95 million, its first listing in 25 years. Parton, who passed away in August at the age of 80, acquired the property in December 1985 for $750,000. The couple sold it in March 1990 for $1.2 million, and Eric M. Shore purchased it in 2001 for approximately $2 million. In 2009, Shore transformed the 1970s home into a contemporary mansion. This two-story, 4,700-square-foot residence includes four bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and a powder room. The listing is managed by Edward Tinney and Kurt Rappaport, featuring outdoor amenities like a geometric pool, spa, and Zen gardens.
