Six months after the death of five-time Emmy-nominated actress Barbara Bosson, her estate has put her former California home up for sale.
Bosson was 83 when she passed away in February and is best remembered for playing the role of Fay Furillo on the NBC police drama “Hill Street Blues” from 1981 through 1987.
The property, which was Bosson’s home for 40 years and her residence up until her death, is currently listed for $16.5 million with Douglas Elliman’s Elizabeth and Robert Puro.
Located in Los Angeles’s Pacific Palisades, on over an acre of lush land at an Amalfi Drive address, the gated estate includes over 6,000 square feet of space.
Constructed 90 years ago in the “Nantucket/East Coast-style” by the architecture firm Morgan, Walls and Clements (the same firm behind with the construction of Los Angeles landmarks including the Music Box and El Capitan Theatre), the home has a long history of famous inhabitants — Bosson only the most recent.
Among its star-studded roster of past residents are “The Philadelphia Story” producer and two-time Academy Award-winner Joseph L. Mankiewicz, the husband-and-wife musical duo the Captain and Tennille of inexplicable 1970s hit “Muskrat Love” fame — and Steven Bochco, Bosson’s ex-husband and the producer of “Hill Street Blues,” as well as “NYPD Blue” and “Doogie Howser.”
A winding brick pathway leads up to the home, which opens to a double-height foyer and, through it, a great room with 30-foot high vaulted ceilings and a brick fireplace.
Off the great room are a dining room, a breakfast nook and bar room-equipped kitchen and, through French doors, the backyard.
The first floor also contains a den, an office and the primary suite with a walk-in closet, dual bathrooms, a fireplace and views of the canyon.
Three more bedrooms are upstairs, including the second primary suite, also equipped with a fireplace and a walk-in closet.
Two more bedrooms are located on the far side of the house, making for six total (as well as six full baths and three half baths).
Outside, in addition to the landscaped grounds, there’s a tennis court and a pool.
