Zsa Zsa Gabor’s fabulous pink home has found a new owner

Real Estate

Late actress Zsa Zsa Gabor’s over-the-top California estate has at last found a new owner. 

This Palm Springs property, which was separately occupied by Zsa Zsa and her socialite sister Magda, hit the market early last year for $3.8 million, a price that was subsequently cut down to $2.8 million. 

It’s not yet known who bought the midcentury three-bedroom and for how much — but as of last week, the 3,441-square-foot residence was listed as a pending sale, Mansion Global first reported

Magda’s fourth husband, Arthur “Tony” Gallucci, built the home for her in 1964; she lived there until death did her part with it in 1997, when she was 81.

Following Magda’s passing, Zsa Zsa, who died at 99 in 2016, briefly called it home.

The colorful brick compound — which is painted like a Barbie Dreamhouse and full of flamboyant decor — was last listed for $2.6 million.

The three-bathroom abode is perched between mountains in the Little Tuscany area and has a variety of outdoor features, including a fire pit-equipped patio, a sprawling stone deck and an in-ground mosaic tile pool. 

The sellers, interior designer Tracy Turco and her husband Jerry, bought the house for $1.74 million in 2020 after falling in love with its retro design. 

“We kept looking for a prized [piece of] real estate,” Tracy told Mansion Global. “We wanted to have the pedigree of the old Hollywood history.” 

When they moved in, they found numerous relics from the Gabor sisters’ time there, including a handwritten note with a safe combination and an oil painting of Magda. 

The new buyer will inherit a home not so different from the one the Turcos purchased, as the couple chose not to update the kitchen. They also opted to maintain the original chandeliers and bathroom vanities. 

“I love the old,” Turco told the publication. “I’ll take a mid-century kitchen and not want to modernize it.”
