I met Donna Summer back in 1980 at Gelson's market in Westlake and she was driving a black Maserati. I approached her asking her, politely, "are you Donna Summer?" She replied, "Only when I want to be." I asked her for her autograph and she was so sweet and kind. She wasn't wearing an ounce of make-up and she was beautiful. She had on a skirt, and was wearing a wrap around sweater, and she had clogs on her feet. A natural beauty. R.I.P. pretty lady ❤

Thanks for this! I have never seen your channel. I am a retired designer and love this house. You do a great job pointing everything out and explaining the layout as much as you know. You surely have done this a lot. Find a realtor to give you a basic tour of these properties and all the general descriptions of the detailing throughout! Most experienced realtors would jump at the chance for any free advice in exchange for a mention in the description. It would really enhance the tour as you go knowing what some areas could be used for as well as some basic architectural features. For example...the pantries by the dining room. One would no doubt be full of silver and china for serving a large dinner party. Your readers can imagine the opulence. It would take a full kitchen staff to prepare and serve formal occasions and maybe a cook and server or housekeeper for every day....etc. Have fun and enjoy your explorations!

I also was a fan from the first time I heard her sing , a sweet soul you could see in her eyes and a massive soulful voice . It was a gift from God .I don’t think she ever hit a wrong note . I will miss her always.

Oh and to add after watching further, the opposite side of the gigantic closet and master bedroom on the 2nd floor, the first room you came into was probably her glam room where she had hair and makeup help her get ready for events. Donna was an icon and very glamorous so she would have big spaces for her clothing dating back to the 1970s, costumes with her everyday clothes. And I know what all the spaces in the dressing room are for. Plus the unfinished back area looks like a planned recording studio that just didn't happen. I agree, it's too bad it's being demoed instead of restored and lived in. It's so beautiful.

It's hard to pick a favorite! I love the whole entire house! Thank you for sharing 😊

This is one of the most amazing mansions I’ve ever had the privilege to see. No words to describe this one. I can’t imagine living in a house that large. Never mind trying to pay for the up-keep. Thank for for this one.

I was a little kid in the 70s dancing to all of Donna Summers hits. She was my absolute favorite. I made my mom buy me all of her records and would dance to them for hours. I’m so happy to see that she finished her final years in such an exquisite home. Magnificent.

Those random rooms were probably offices , guestrooms, libraries, gym, media rooms, or maybe even a den. Sn: I hope you guys always stay together when exploring, never ever separate. Nice video. 👌🏾

I adore this whole showing! Thanks so much! The chandeliers are amazing, but my favorite is the one with the mermaids! Gorgeous!

Gorgeous home! I can see her personality all over it. Hopefully, the new buyers will sell all the appliances doors, etc. it’s just a shame that you can’t be restored to its natural beauty, especially on the outside and thank you for the tour!

Not that Impressive unless I owned it or had some thing from it. I don’t get excited about other peoples money or property certain people do everybody should work on what they desire what they can afford and what they want counting other peoples money and property is other peoples not yours.❤

My uncle was Donna’s teacher in Boston schools he said she was a real star even then..she’s the pride of Boston... Uncle tehn went on to become the NKOTB traveling teacher. He was their Freud. RIP Donna, Uncle Mark.

She had a lovely mansion, May her soul rest in peace 💐

Nothing as wonderful than a main floor laundry room ❤

The fact that there’s thousands of abandoned homes/property in the United States and still homeless is still a crisis, unbelievable

Dude, nice job on the tour! I've been a realtor for 33 years. I must point out that you missed in the three-car garage there are lifts. Which means six car garage. Thought that was way worth noting! Again good job.

Good to see Big Bankz is an Oklahoma boy , keep living your best life brother , love the content!

Awww man, I love history and historical stories. This makes me sad and happy at the same time.

Donna’s home is incredible! She was the first artist I became obsessed with as a little girl. I loved her, loved her music. I was heartbroken when she passed away. I can’t believe that it’s already been 12 years. I’ll never forget her. It’s such a treat to see her home and to visualize her here. Sing with the angels, Ms. Donna. ❤

This should have been reserved and converted into a museum in her memory.

It should be converted into to homes for people since it is abandoned. The greed of people to let a home like this fall into disrepair is truly sickening.

Beautiful home.....that master closet is the size of the house I live in!!! Really beautiful built in's and features. The mirrored area in the basement, and that unfinished attic space were just plain odd! While it's beautiful, I just can't imagine why anyone would need or want a home that huge! I suppose rich celebrities have lots of family and work related gatherings, and staff to help keep it clean and tidy. But I'd need a map to get around that place....it's like a maze!! Love the herringbone floorings, too.

This videi is featured in "Heat Magazine." Shocked it did'nt have a pool! 32:30 Walk in attic space. It's a shame to see her home of only 30 yrs demolished! Too bad they couldn't have made it into a museum. She was such a legend. Thank you for such a special upload!

The reason the windows are boarded up is to keep them from being broken. Before they tare it down they will remove the windows and counters , cabinets, the lights and all the sinks , anything they can save. And they will sell it or reuse it in other properties or donate it to Habitat For Humanity

I've seen bigger. It the process of being finished with cars and extremely expensive women's clothing. I forgot the name but a brain surgeon and his son went flying on a 1 engine place, they hit thunder and lightning. He was not experienced so both of them died. Insurance? Yes he had BUT just a month before he lapsed it. So, she couldn't afford it it was left abandoned. It is massive, bigger than Donnas.

32:14 looks like a "garage" type storage room where all the house maintenance supplies might be stored. Nice tour! Thanks for sharing. Disco Forever

Thanks for the awesome tour. Donna Summer is such a music icon. Who can forget her beautiful smile. What a spectacular house, shame it will be demolished. I was surprised as well that there was no pool or landscaped back yard. When you showed the mirrored room I kinda wonder if that was a quiet space whee she could practice her stage personna

I just started watching your videos and I am very impressed with how respectful you are of the houses themselves, of the families that used to live in them, and of the belongings they left behind. Nicely done. I’m now a subscriber.

She was so glamorous! Rest peacefully, you worked hard for the money and we can see that!!! xoxo

Love the kitchen , dining room . And, I love the living room, love love the ceiling. IT seems to me to be a good and great house. { I would change out the black flooring for wood , natural flooring. } The marble floored bathroom is beautiful , I think. That closet - spectacular for a closet.

I cant believe they would knock down that beautiful home. Loved the parquet flooring ❤ and the big walk in ...every girls dream ❤

This house is endless, I feel like I'm at IKEA, I love it! The kitchen, the primary closet, the balconies, the staircase(all of them), the privacy, it just kept on giving.

A beautiful mansion. It's such a shame it will be demolished. I loved the kitchen. The granite and the openness . I wish I had a closet that big. ❤

The home is only 29 years old. It needs to be cleaned and kept. The place is gorgeous. There is no need to tear this house down.

So sad this house is absolutely STUNNING

Donna moved to this area because she enjoyed the kindness of the local people and the respect of community when she once visited. Fun fact - in that garage, she rekindled her hobby of painting. Go look up her art. She was a true artist of many forms. Upsetting to hear the property will be divided up. Lots of expansion in this area.

It’s generally called a ‘family room’ right off of the kitchen in a house that size and then you generally have a formal living room and dining room in the front when you come in or sometimes a study is in the front too. The room with the sconces on the wall was probably an office.

The design on the walls is called picture-frame molding. Gorgeous😍🖼️🖼️🖼️

They tare down all the beautiful things! It's sad Mrs Summers family let her home go... It should be kept, it's iconic!

I found information on the estate sale held in September 2022, it included professional recording equipment; I suspect it originally belonged to Donna and her husband Bruce but was left behind when Bruce sold the house.
