The estate is set behind a gated entry way, and is tucked between lush trees providing privacy.
In a warm orange color, much of the house’s exterior is covered in sprawling ivy and also features a side of french doors and windows.
Inside, the house features vaulted ceilings, with exposed beams in dark wood and matching framed archways.
Dark wood runs through the home, also featured in window panes, sculpted pillars throughout and panelling in the library/den combination room.

The cream color of the walls compliments the dark wood flooring and white stone fireplace.
One of the seven bedrooms is the main suit that is attached to a large ensuite with double sinks and mirrors on a dark wood vanity, with velvet drapes providing coverage to personal items.
Stone work lines the glass shower, and tub tucked under a window.
Off the suite is a large balcony with red stone flooring, a wrought iron railing and views of the backyard and pool.
Staying close: Priscilla was married to Elvis from 1967 until 1973, before his death in 1977, she bought the home so he could be close to their daughter Lisa Marie, 52 (pictured in 1967)
Outside, short shrubs line the walkways with brick detailing in the driveway and paths, and as well stairs leading from the indoor living space outside.
More wrought iron railings and an ivy covered iron archway provide separation from entry into the estate and private spaces.
An outdoor seating area accompanies a stone fireplace for cozy evenings.
For guests a private guest suite sits above the garage.
Close to Lisa Marie: ‘Elvis stayed in the Holmby Hills home I found for us,’ she said. ‘We were very, very close, and I wanted to make sure his house was near to our daughter, Lisa Marie’ (the family in 1968)
