"Built on a 5,000-square-foot lot, the Laguna home features a French Norman tower, which has stairs circling down to the beach. It has four bedrooms and three fireplaces, including one in the master bedroom, plus a large brick entry courtyard. It's historic too by local standards, dating to 1925."
"Midler, known to joke about having to apologize to her Democratic friends for owning a house in Orange County, paid $1,925,000 for the Victoria Beach property in August 1988, county property records show. The singer-actress once spent considerable time there, frequenting local florists and takeout joints."
"Victoria Beach has been a hangout over the years for celebrities such as O.J. and Nicole Brown Simpson, who once had a house there. The homes near Midler's include one owned by Ron Burkle, the Ralphs Grocery Co. merger-meister, philanthropist and Bill Clinton pal."
