Well, it has some interesting angles, seems to really capitalize upon the views and isn’t entirely ugly. Looks more like an office building than a home, though.

The view with the pool is showing only one side of the house, but it looks like a golf visor to me, and of course, Bob Hope loved golf.

Wow, I had no idea. His home is gorgeous. It still looks innovative 47 years later, too.

And is just me, or does that place remind anyone else of the house in Forbidden Planet..?

Truly an incredible "home."
Bob Hope was one of a kind.

I think the place is gorgeous, and great surroundings too.
To: BenLurkin
looks like a maintenance nightmare to me since everything is probably a one-off. still, i guess if you can afford a $13 million home, you can afford a full time staff, including a staff manager and general contractor, cleaning staff, kitchen staff, maintenance staff, and a grounds staff.
I can see why it didn’t sell for $50 million.
