Sidney Kimmel’s Malibu home which was formerly the residence of “The Tonight Show” Host, Johnny Carson, has been listed for sale with Hilton & Hyland at an asking price of $81.5 million USD. Situated down a private drive with mature trees, an ample four acre property located on a high bluff overlooking the Pacific, is an over 7,000 square foot modern masterpiece designed by famed Malibu architect Ed Niles.
Hallmark features of the residence include a double triangle-shaped living room with 30-foot high ceilings and floor to ceiling glass which frames the home’s dramatic ocean views. Abundant natural light floods the residence’s indoor botanical garden that is devoted to trees. Unique highlights of this home also include an Asian-inspired lounge, state of the art kitchen, a wine cellar, and formal interior and exterior dinning areas. Located upstairs is a full floor master suite with advantageous terraces with commanding views; as well as his and hers onyx bathrooms, walk-in closets, and personal offices.
Rich landscaping allows for a truly inspiring experience in the garden with walking paths, a koi pond, waterfalls, a saltwater pool, and direct access to the beach below. There is a sunken professional tennis court on the property, which was a gift to Johnny Carson from his long time employer, NBC. Located beside the tennis court is a viewing pavilion offering two lavish bedrooms, a gym, a media room, and walls that open to welcome that fresh Malibu air. Additionally there is an elevator, guesthouse, property manager’s office, staff facilities, and a security office.
