Hefner's Playmate Wife Strips $1.4M From Hollywood Hills Home

LOS ANGELES, CA — Crystal Hefner, Hugh Hefner's Widow and third wife, is having trouble selling her sleek Hollywood Hills home after the better part of a year on the market. So she stripped 1.4 million from her asking price recently.

Hugh Hefner paid $5 million for the sleek home in the Hollywood Hills for his 27-year-old wife shortly before he died. "Although they lived together at the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles, Hugh wanted to ensure that Crystal would be taken care of after he'd passed on to the silk bathrobe in the sky," according to Realtor.com.

Now she's asking $5.8 million for her four bedroom, two bathroom hillside house. Carved into the hillside, the home features a stunning view of the city. The open concept home opens to the outdoors with a private backyard with a glass tile infinity edge pool and spa and lounge areas. Built in 2011, the home boasts designer finishings by Bontempi, White Oak and Brazilian Walnut flooring, and a butcher block floating staircase. The master bath offers an Antonio Lupe bath tub, and a Gessi steam Shower with 9 shower heads.
