Per House Beautiful, Alvin Weintraub found it difficult to sell the house after Trent Reznor left, and its fate was sealed by demolition in 1994. Upon rebuilding the new property, an Andalusian-style mansion nicknamed "Villa Bella," Weintraub changed the address to 10066 Cielo Drive to start afresh. Even with this new beginning, the house remained unsold for several years until it was snapped up by "Full House" creator Jeff Franklin in 2000.
Over a period of 20 years, architects Todd Riley and Richard Landry completely redesigned the nine-bedroom, 18-bath mansion, and Franklin first listed "Villa Bella" for a staggering $85 million in January 2022 (via Zillow). The price was subsequently dropped to $70 million in April 2022, $60 million in September 2022, and $49,500,00 in October 2023. These continuous price drops indicate that Franklin may have been struggling to sell the property despite its immense amenities, which included a gym, a screening room with a bar, and a tropical pool, among many others. The property sitting at 10066 Cielo Drive may have been completely rebuilt and renamed, but it seems it cannot fully escape its tragic past.
