$25 Million WOW! House: Ronald Reagan's Former Pacific Palisades Pad

A plaque marks the spot where Ronald Reagan, still in the shower, got the call from Jimmy Carter conceding the election.

PACIFIC PALISADES, CA -- If $25 million of pure luxury isn't enough for you, how about a plaque celebrating the home's history? This home that Ronald and Nancy Reagan left to live in the White House, has seen a significant price reduction.

The old world style new build features seven bedrooms and nine full baths. It also bears a plaque marking the place where Ronald Reagan learned he won the presidency. According to theDaily Mail, the plaque bears Nancy Reagan's description of the moment: "I'll never forget the night he was elected. It was just after 5, so it was already nighttime on the East Coast. I took a bath, and Ronnie got in the shower. The phone started ringing.

'It was President Carter, calling from Washington to concede the election and to congratulate Ronnie on winning. So I jumped out of the tub, started banging on the shower door, and he heard Jimmy Carter's voice say. ''Mr. Reagan? Congratulations. You're President of the United States''. We ran to the TV. There we were, standing in our towels, listening to them say he had been elected."
