Elvis wanted this house to be perfect so he hired famed builder/interior decorator, Tom Lane of Newport Beach, California.
In contrast to his Memphis home "Graceland", this home was furnished with only the finest of the day. The extent of his deep appreciation for the only home he and Priscilla ever owned jointly, and where his daughter Lisa spent her first six years, can best be summed up by the statement he (Elvis) made when leaving. He said, "This home is so perfect that not even an ashtray should be moved." He sold this house fully furnaced. Don B.
