The project also clarifies reports that the famous property had been demolished or was facing demolition.Instead, the estate is being transformed into what Tavangarian calls a Taylor\/Tavangarian manor, with the original home being combined with a major new addition.\u201cWe\u2019re trying to create something that is a continuation of Elizabeth Taylor and her legacy while creating a phase 2 to enhance the beauty that is already here.\u201dHe believes the property\u2019s unique character can be preserved while making it a place where Taylor \u201cwould be comfortable living in.\u201d\u201cI\u2019m approaching this as though she is my client,\u201d he told New York Post.<\/p>\n Taylor bought the estate for $2 million back in 1981 from Nancy, Frank Sinatra\u2019s first wife, and lived there until her death in 2011 at the age of 79. Parts of the original 7,000-square-foot home will become an Elizabeth Taylor wing. Her master bedroom and bathroom, beauty centre and other spaces she treasured are being restored.The home will also retain much of the room where Taylor kept her famous jewellery in velvet-lined cases. \u201cWe\u2019re just modernizing it from a point of view of functionality,\u201d Tavangarian told The Post.A gallery filled with Elizabeth Taylor-related artwork is also planned. Taylor was an iconic actress and humanitarian activist who gave audiences decades of exceptional performances and much-needed pathos.<\/p>\n The original home is being restored to strengthen its 60-year-old structure, while the rest will connect to a new 12,000-square-foot addition.A large hill next to the house has already been levelled to create space for the new section. The addition will use Tavangarian\u2019s signature construction methods, including underground framing and deep foundation footings.These will allow walls, floors and ceilings to be built underground and strengthened like a heavy-duty bunker to hold back thousands of tons of shifting earth.New York Post reported that the new section will include a 4,500-square-foot retractable roof for stargazing and an expansive grass overlay.Taylor\u2019s ranch-style home has two levels and five bedrooms. The addition will be three levels in some areas and will have three bedrooms.The existing brick exterior will remain and continue onto the new structure to create a similar look between the old and new sections.The new part of the home will also have a high-end screening room, a spa and other wellness amenities.There will even be a family \u201cpajama room\u201d, where residents and guests can relax, watch a huge-screen TV and enjoy popcorn and other treats from canisters placed around the room.<\/p>\n Tavangarian plans to keep much of the estate\u2019s original landscaping. The thick bamboo that stood on the hill that has now been levelled will be removed.Taylor\u2019s striking sapphire-coloured pool, which reflected the colour of her eyes, will remain surrounded by natural landscaping and tall trees.The koi pond and shell-shaped fountain built by Taylor\u2019s nephew are also being restored.Arbors of climbing roses will continue to dot the property, along with a bright pink hybrid tea rose named \u201cElizabeth Taylor\u201d.Some areas of the home are also being returned to their original state after being converted into a showroom and offices for a high-end audio\/visual company. The firm rented the property from former owner Rocky Malhotra and stayed for a period after Tavangarian bought the estate from the razor blade tycoon in summer 2021.Tavangarian said he paid $15 million for the compound and expects to spend at least another $47 million on its restoration and expansion.<\/p>\n There is currently no buyer lined up for the property. Tavangarian declined to say how much he might ask for it when the work is completed next year. His custom mansions often sell for more than $100 million.His luxury projects include Villa Siena, a 35,000-square-foot Bel Air mega mansion listed at $135 million.Tavangarian told the New York Post last month that he had a buyer for the long-listed and repeatedly price-reduced property. The deal fell through after the potential buyer reconsidered and decided they \u201cdidn\u2019t want that kind of footprint in LA.\u201dThe compound was relisted this month at $135 million after first being put up for sale in autumn 2024 for $177 million.<\/div>\n Elizabeth Taylor\u2019s Bel Air home is getting a Hollywood glam makeover, but the star\u2019s touch is staying intact.The
