Would you eat green eggs and ham here? The longtime residence of children\u2019s book author Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, has come on the market.<\/p>\n

The award-winning writer lived in the splendid hilltop estate in La Jolla, CA,<\/a> for over a half-century. It\u2019s where he wrote many of his beloved books.<\/p>\n

The property has been divided into four parcels, which add up to a little over 4 acres. The parcel with the main mansion can be purchased separately<\/a> for $11,995,000. The remaining three parcels of land can be purchased separately or together. In total, the whole enchilada is available for $18,995,000.<\/p>\n

The Mediterranean mansion is where Geisel wrote some of his most famous children\u2019s literature, including \u201cThe Cat in the Hat\u201d and \u201cHow the Grinch Stole Christmas!\u201d<\/p>\n

In a charming detail, the etched glass on the front door depicts the cat in the hat.<\/p>\n

The home has been extensively rebuilt since Geisel died in 1991. He was 87.<\/p>\n

But some of the whimsical features remain, including a secret hiding place behind the bookshelves. A local news reporter shared the hideaway on Twitter.<\/p>\n

The 5,000-square-foot mansion has three bedrooms, and the 1.5-acre parcel it sits on includes a pool.<\/p>\n

Offers were due last week, says listing agent Jason Barry<\/strong>, with Barry Estates. Those bids are currently under consideration.<\/p>\n

Geisel and his first wife, Helen Palmer, purchased the estate in the late 1940s.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe chose this property specifically because of how unique and beautiful it is,\u201d Barry says of Geisel. \u201cThe 270-degree views, they are stunning. It\u2019s a very unique offering.\u201d<\/p>\n

The property was gifted by the Geisel Trust<\/a> to the University of California at San Diego in 2019.<\/p>\n
