The former real estate of actor-comedian Dom DeLuise in Pacific Palisades is back in the news as a new modern home on the MLS and for sale at $21 million. DeLuise was famous for appearing in films such as the cult classic Blazing Saddles and the Cannonball Run; DeLuise purchased the property in 1968 for a mere $103,000, living there until his death in 2009. A little over a decade had passed when the land sold in 2021 for nearly $6.5 million to a developer associated with Provincetown Estates, which then replaced the 1950s house with a modern mansion. The new listing is presented by Anthony Marguleas of Amalfi Estates.
A Modern Mansion with Deep Roots in Hollywood
Completed in 2025, the house is about 10,421 square feet and 3 levels with an elevator, with a design reflectant of the owner’s European roots utilizing white oak flooring from Germany, dramatic wood-beamed ceilings and walls of glass showcasing the canyon views. The home has seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms and all of the furniture is available optionally for buyers.
Set behind gates on Corsica Drive and minutes to the Riviera Country Club or Brentwood Country Mart, the home has a notable street presence and bold first impression with the use of fire-resistant siding and tumbled natural stone on the exterior. Visitors are welcomed by a tree-lined courtyard with olive trees and vintage ceramics before entering the home through a custom-designed iron and glass entry double door into a high ceiling foyer with the formal living room to the left and formal dining room to the right.
Luxurious Amenities Across Every Level
Further in, the home opens to a warm fireside family room and landscaped backyard with a built-in pizza oven, outdoor kitchen, sculptural fire pit and pool and spa covered in checkered stone. The chef’s kitchen features Calacatta Monet marble countertops, a Lacanche range and eat-in island, with a butler’s pantry and informal breakfast nook nearby.
Adjoining the kitchen is a laundry area and an attached three-car garage. All of the bedrooms are en-suite. The lowest level also has a half-bath. There are two on the main level, with one currently staged as an office. On the second level is the primary suite, with a fireplace, sitting area with balcony, dual walk-in closets, and soaking tub. The lowest level has a cinema room with a private entrance for 21 seats, wine cellar, full gym and wellness/relaxation amenities that include steam room, sauna, cold plunge, and massage room; a wet-bar and large recreational lounge.
The home is a unique blend of an old Hollywood legacy and modern design, that presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking to own a redefine piece of celebrity history in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
