On a hilltop in Chatsworth, a swingin' pad once home to crooner Frank Sinatra is for sale at $12.5 million.
The legendary singer and actor enjoyed an extended stay at the seven-acre estate in the 1960s when he leased it for about a decade from bank heiress and original owner Dora Hutchinson.
More recently, the Midcentury Modern-style home has become a bit of a celebrity in its own right, appearing as a backdrop in television episodes of "Mad Men" and "Californication" as well as the 2006 film "Dreamgirls."
The streamlined single-story house was designed by noted civic architect William Pereira, whose works include Washington's Kennedy Center and the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco.
Built in 1949, the residence is distinguished by such modernist staples as clean lines and open-plan space.
Formal living and dining rooms, a den with a wet bar and an updated kitchen are within about 8,200 square feet of living space.
Including a guest house and a pool cabana, there are seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms and two powder rooms.
Outside, the park-like setting centers on a trellis-topped patio that creates an L-shape around a swimming pool and flagstone pool deck.
A smaller dipping pool/spa lies near the guest house.
The property was previously up for sale in 2015 at $7.5 million. It last sold in 1998 for $1.54 million, records show.
