There’s Nothing Soapy About This $17M Manor, Listed By ‘Days of Our Lives’ Producer

One of the longest-running scripted television shows in the world, Days of Our Lives recently celebrated its 61st birthday. Ken Corday, son of the original creators, still manages the series today, which airs weekly on Peacock. Now, Corday is going off script and listing his Toluca Lake estate for $16.995 million.

If he gets his ask, the producer would turn a pretty profit from his original purchase price of $445,000. And, the 10343 Valley Spring Lane estate would join the neighborhood’s highest-ever sales, following the acclaimed Bob Hope estate that sold back in 2023. According to Robb Report, Corday shared the home with his longtime wife Sherry until the couple divorced in 2024. 

Now, the seven-bedroom, 13-bathroom estate is Toluca Lake’s most expensive active listing. Corday enlisted Kevin A. Clark to reimagine the 10,760-square-foot residence in the early aughts. He delivered soaring wooden beams, richly paneled walls, and stately fireplaces throughout, including a cozy library and a living room with space for a baby grand piano. 

Upstairs, the primary suite boasts its own private balcony, fireplace, dual closets, and a soaking tub overlooking the lush, landscaped grounds. Spanning nearly an acre, the grounds feature a pool and spa, covered brick dining terrace, lounge area, and detached guest house. A home theater, wine-tasting room, and wellness studio round out the amenities, making the estate ideal for entertaining and hosting of all kinds.

Listed with Craig Strong of Compass, this estate offers a rare combination of countryside allure and Hollywood proximity.
