Sylvester Stallone in the Spotlight

0-82

This Golden Globe Winners’ Residence is the Ultimate Retreat from Fast Paced Living:

Sylvester Stallone may be best known for his portrayals of tough guys, but behind his closed doors there is a softer, much gentler side to him.

This side of him is portrayed throughout his home which is designed with New Age overtones and his own artistic flare.

The expansive outdoor details include multiple terraces, a pool and spa shaded by lush palms, and a built-in fire pit. The residence backs up to a burbling creek.

Located in La Quinta, CA, the 5,173-square-foot, four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home was purchased over 6 years ago for $4.2 million.

Heavy wood double doors open up to a vaulted ceiling in the entryway.  A stone fireplace is the focal point on one wall of the living room while the spacious kitchen features an oversized island finished with wood and stone.

The upstairs ensuite includes a disappearing flat screen TV at the foot of the bed for entertainment, a fireplace as well as a walkout private terrace. The serene master bath includes a two-sink vanity and a tub.

Intricate interior details include these built-in shelves, arched entryways, beamed ceilings, a wine room, walk-in closets and a powder room.

Apparently a prolific painter, it is said that as you walk through the property there are over a dozen paintings that he painted himself, including this one that greets guests as they enter this large and attractive bedroom.

His living room coffee table has a rhinoceros statue with the world on top, signifying protection for his family.

Like this room, the other living areas have full wall height windows that allow people to enjoy breathtaking views of the private grounds.

Family and guest will enjoy this quiet and elegant living area, equipped with a large custom built in TV, and nicely lit with both indoor and natural lighting.
