Hugh Hefner’s widow Crystal Harris sells the Hollywood Hills pad he left to her for $5.5m

Hugh Hefner’s widow Crystal Harris has finally found a buyer for the Hollywood Hills home that was left to her by the late Playboy founder for $5.5 million.

The 32-year-old former Playboy Playmate originally listed the California pad in January for $7.2 million, just four months after her husband died aged 91 at his legendary Playboy Mansion.

Hefner had bought the four-bedroom home for his third wife Crystal for $5 million in 2013, when the couple were living together in the Playboy mansion.

But after struggling to sell off the home, Crystal slashed the price by $700,000 in March and changed realtors. By November she dropped the price again, this time by $1 million and was able to secure a buyer.

Nestled against a hillside, the stunning 5,917 square-foot home that was built in 2011 boasts four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, according to Realtor.com. 

Photos of the property show hardwood paneling surrounding the pool, as well as a glass-railed balcony overlooking the backyard.

In the front lobby, a large metal sculpture of a camel stands next to a wood staircase that matches the ground level floors it leads down to.

The kitchen island includes space for three bar seats as well as its own sink, and there is a massive window just above the main sink.

One of the more striking elements of the home is a living room that can be opened up entirely at one end, leading onto a veranda.

After he bought this house, he and Crystal remained at the Playboy Mansion – which he was incapable of leaving her when he died, as he reportedly did not actually own the iconic Mansion but was renting it from Playboy Enterprises at the time.

The two made their love match legal on New Year’s Eve in 2012, when she was only 26 years old and he was a spry 86.

She first became one of his girlfriends in 2009, the year she turned 23, and they initially planned a 2011 wedding but broke up just before it was meant to happen.

‘I miss him every day,’ Crystal told Australia’s Sunday Telegraph.

‘He taught me a lot,’ she explained. ‘He taught me love. He taught me kindness, he was so kind to everybody, so welcoming to everybody into his home, it didn’t matter who you were.’

Crystal confessed she’s adopted a more ‘down-to-earth’ lifestyle as of late, trading in the makeup for a more low-key regimen.

‘I’ve never been the heels and dress and full makeup, I’ve never been that kind of person.

‘Maybe I felt like I had to be in the role I was in, being Playmate or being a part of Playboy, that I had to be dolled up,’ Crystal admitted.

‘I think now I am more myself, which is the more down-to-earth, minimal makeup, that is where I feel the most comfortable.’
