I met Donna Summer back in 1980 at Gelson's market in Westlake and she was driving a black Maserati. I approached her asking her, politely, "are you Donna Summer?" She replied, "Only when I want to be." I asked her for her autograph and she was so sweet and kind. She wasn't wearing an ounce of make-up and she was beautiful. She had on a skirt, and was wearing a wrap around sweater, and she had clogs on her feet. A natural beauty. R.I.P. pretty lady ❤

Thanks for this! I have never seen your channel. I am a retired designer and love this house. You do a great job pointing everything out and explaining the layout as much as you know. You surely have done this a lot. Find a realtor to give you a basic tour of these properties and all the general descriptions of the detailing throughout! Most experienced realtors would jump at the chance for any free advice in exchange for a mention in the description. It would really enhance the tour as you go knowing what some areas could be used for as well as some basic architectural features. For example...the pantries by the dining room. One would no doubt be full of silver and china for serving a large dinner party. Your readers can imagine the opulence. It would take a full kitchen staff to prepare and serve formal occasions and maybe a cook and server or housekeeper for every day....etc. Have fun and enjoy your explorations!

Her mansion was beautiful and I remember it featured a huge outdoor rectangular shaped swimming 🏊‍♀️ pool. From our perspective it looked like it backed up to Long Island Sound.

Love the whole mansion but the closet is amazing what woman wouldn’t want a closet like that, it’s my dream home. Thank you so very much for sharing ❤❤❤

[@belfiore_18]

Donna was married to an Italian so when you mentioned the ceiling I wasn’t surprised! I agree with you about all the beauty in the home it’s a crying shame they demolished it .

[@Hossak]

She was beautiful and her house is just as magnificent as she was. RIP lovely lady.

[@silassoule5077]

This should have been reserved and converted into a museum in her memory.

[@laurabrandao7246]

Yes 👏 👏

[@user-qe9np4zq2h]

It should be converted into to homes for people since it is abandoned. The greed of people to let a home like this fall into disrepair is truly sickening.

[@cheryldowling6647]

Who would pay for the up keep? The maintenance would cost a fortune.

Love this video! Was that a white corset on the sconce leading up the stairs in the very beginning?

[@mustbherpersonality]

Rest in peace Ms. Summer. That home is beautiful. I think the room with the yellow walls is a sun parlor and the gray wall, I think, is Venetian plaster. That kitchen is a dream!

[@deniseneri]

Dude, nice job on the tour! I've been a realtor for 33 years. I must point out that you missed in the three-car garage there are lifts. Which means six car garage. Thought that was way worth noting! Again good job.

[@JoeMama-eg4zv]

Where are the lifts! I wanna see! That sounds so cool!😊

[@carlabarrick8538]

Oh and to add after watching further, the opposite side of the gigantic closet and master bedroom on the 2nd floor, the first room you came into was probably her glam room where she had hair and makeup help her get ready for events. Donna was an icon and very glamorous so she would have big spaces for her clothing dating back to the 1970s, costumes with her everyday clothes. And I know what all the spaces in the dressing room are for. Plus the unfinished back area looks like a planned recording studio that just didn't happen. I agree, it's too bad it's being demoed instead of restored and lived in. It's so beautiful.

[@karenmorris6503]

Mirrored walls in basement was most likely an exercise room/dance studio. Thank you! I loved the tour and enjoyed seeing the opulence. I loved her songs! Enjoyed the dream imagining her in each room living her life.

[@MrMspam03]

I had the privilege of seeing her in concert at Chastain Park in Atlanta around 2005. Someone at work gave me their 2 front row tickets because they couldn't make it. The concert was awesome!! Glad I was able to go see her perform! She did not disappoint.. rip ❤❤

I found information on the estate sale held in September 2022, it included professional recording equipment; I suspect it originally belonged to Donna and her husband Bruce but was left behind when Bruce sold the house.

Bruce sold the house in 2012.

[@theoneandonly1158]

I've seen bigger. It the process of being finished with cars and extremely expensive women's clothing. I forgot the name but a brain surgeon and his son went flying on a 1 engine place, they hit thunder and lightning. He was not experienced so both of them died. Insurance? Yes he had BUT just a month before he lapsed it. So, she couldn't afford it it was left abandoned. It is massive, bigger than Donnas.

[@jessierob97]

This is one of the most amazing mansions I’ve ever had the privilege to see. No words to describe this one. I can’t imagine living in a house that large. Never mind trying to pay for the up-keep. Thank for for this one.

[@donnamarienelms3933]

Gorgeous home! I can see her personality all over it. Hopefully, the new buyers will sell all the appliances doors, etc. it’s just a shame that you can’t be restored to its natural beauty, especially on the outside and thank you for the tour!

Donna’s home is incredible! She was the first artist I became obsessed with as a little girl. I loved her, loved her music. I was heartbroken when she passed away. I can’t believe that it’s already been 12 years. I’ll never forget her. It’s such a treat to see her home and to visualize her here. Sing with the angels, Ms. Donna. ❤

Absolutely breathe taking!! This should be historically saved. She was a beautifully person inside and out. When I have to clean house I put her music on. I get a lot done. God bless you Donna.

[@nickshires1459]

Donna moved to this area because she enjoyed the kindness of the local people and the respect of community when she once visited. Fun fact - in that garage, she rekindled her hobby of painting. Go look up her art. She was a true artist of many forms. Upsetting to hear the property will be divided up. Lots of expansion in this area.

[@seasonedsofisticate1901]

What area? Or at least what state is that?

[@seasonedsofisticate1901]

It’s generally called a ‘family room’ right off of the kitchen in a house that size and then you generally have a formal living room and dining room in the front when you come in or sometimes a study is in the front too. The room with the sconces on the wall was probably an office.

I believe that room in the basement with mirrors all over was likely a gym. Having a dry sauna and a shower right there next to the mirror maze would make sense that it was used as a gym…at least to me, lol
