<\/p>\n

It just doesn\u2019t get more old-Hollywood glam than the Los Angeles<\/a> estate known as\u00a0Castillo del Lago.<\/p>\n

Set on legendary Mulholland Drive in the Hollywood Hills, this spread is said to have been a Bugsy Siegel<\/strong>\u00a0lair in the 1930s.<\/p>\n

After that, it served as a prominent movie location for 1984\u2019s \u201cBeverly Hills Cop\u201d and as\u00a0Madonna<\/strong>\u2018s home in the 1990s. The home currently belongs to fashion titan Leon Max<\/strong>, of Max Studio, according to the Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And if you happen to have $21 million lying around, you could be the next owner of this lavish, nine-bedroom, six-bath dwelling.<\/p>\n

Originally designed in 1926 by noted architect\u00a0John DeLario<\/strong>, the 10,513-square-foot mansion features classic Spanish architecture and is quite the local landmark.<\/p>\n

Situated behind private gates on top of a ridge, the house is accessible by a winding driveway. With its signature tower and gazebos, the property could easily be mistaken for a peaceful monastery or resort.<\/p>\n

It has all gracious design details of the era, including wood-beam and\u00a0coffered ceilings, custom wrought-iron railings and balconies, terra cotta flooring, colored tile, statement fireplaces, and Spanish archways.<\/p>\n

Some of its more arresting architectural features include the hand-stenciled wood beams and two-story fireplace in the formal living room; the richly paneled library with its distinctive fireplace; the formal dining room\u2019s unique, honeycomb-patterned ceiling; and a vintage, wood-paneled elevator.<\/p>\n

An array of opulent fabrics and tapestries are found throughout the home\u2019s bedrooms.<\/p>\n

Max bought the property in 2010, when his Max Studio retail locations were ubiquitous in malls across the U.S. He paid $7 million for the estate and set to work restoring and redecorating with remarkable flair.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a classic lap pool, fountains, terraces, rolling lawns, rose gardens, sculpted hedges, draping wisteria, citrus trees, and mature-specimen trees\u2014including palms\u2014and brilliantly blooming bougainvillea.<\/p>\n
