Sip your morning coffee and take a virtual tour of our celebrity house of the day. Today: A flashback to Elizabeth Taylor's old stomping grounds.The dearly departed Elizabeth Taylor used to frequent this Miami Beach, Florida residence back in the 1950's, when her fiancé's family. Now it's for sale -- or rent -- for a large price tag. For those looking to purchase, $13.9 million will get you this 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom. Worried about commitment? You can rent for $50,000 a month. And no worries -- your friends and hangers-on will also have a place to lounge in this waterfront property. The guest house helps take up some of the home's acre of land.
Thanks to our friends at Realtor.com, we can take you past the guarded gate and inside.
Even the aerial view of this property is mouth-watering. The location and size of the house is amazing. The landscaping looks so lush and warm! Let's take a closer look...
A palm tree-lined walk leads you up to the front door. Dramatic, tall pillars support the roof over-hang. With all that sunshine, we don't mind a little extra shade.
This living space is huge! The open room is perfect for gathering with friends and family. Even though the room isn't adjacent to any of the giant windows, open walls make sure the light gets all the way to the middle of the home.
Moving closer to the exterior, you have this sunroom with even more room to lounge. The wall of windows allows for a spectacular water view. And if you don't mind the humid heat, you can sit on the shaded patio.
This extremely modern kitchen has sleek, high-gloss cabinets, a sleek counter, a sleek hood...you get the idea. We like the black and white color scheme -- very 1950's, yet so very now.
The whole house has lots of windows, but the light spilling into this room is breathtaking! (And so is the unobstructed view of green palm trees and blue skies.) The hardwood flooring and white walls make the bedroom a serene, relaxing place. Feeling like going outside? French doors lead you to a patio.
We had to include a photo of this picturesque pool! Can't you just see yourself lounging on a chaise, sipping a frozen drink? We sure can. The Florida sun probably keeps the water at a perfect temp. If you walk from the main house pictured across the pool area, you will get to the guest house. But our big question is this: Is that where Elizabeth Taylor stayed on her visits?
