The former longtime Los Angeles home of beloved television host Bob Barker has popped onto the market. It is being sold by interior designer Julia Dempster for $8.195 million—and hopefully “The Price is Right.” Dempster paid $3.784 million for the property—$800,000 over asking—last April according to Mansion Global. She brought her artful eye to the 1929 Spanish Colonial Revival, giving it new life while respecting its history.

In fact, the designer was not familiar with the home’s celebrity past, but was more intrigued by the home’s architectural details. “I’m British, so I didn’t even know who Bob Barker was—that was an added bonus,” Dempster told Mansion Global. Barker, who also hosted “Truth or Consequences” and who passed away in 2023 at age 99, owned the circa-1929 home for 54 years without changing or updating the property much.

Dempster restored the historic 5,906-square-foot haven, which included modifying the original ironwork balustrade, preserving and replacing wood floors, restoring the original doors, coating the walls in Portola Roman clay, modernizing the bathrooms, redoing and the clay tile roof. “Every intervention was made with respect to the original architecture. There were lots of things I wanted to keep, but they were just past the point of no return,” Dempster told Mansion Global.

The six-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom residence sits in Outpost Estates, where actor Nicholas Hoult also just listed an architectural gem. George Ouzounian and Jordan Ginsburg of The Agency represent Barker’s former property.
