Betty Marion White was an American actress and entertainer with a career that spanned nearly 7 decades! In addition to being everyone’s favorite grandma, Betty White was most often recognized for her roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Girls, and most recently the hit comedy Hot in Cleveland. In addition to her acting, Betty also made television history as being the first woman to produce a television sitcom, the series Life with Elizabeth. You know her, you love her, but have you ever seen where this television legend called home? Check out incredible photos of the Betty White home and more below!

Where Did Betty White Live?

Betty White spent the majority of her time at her beach home in Carmel, California. In addition to Carmel, Betty also owned a modest residence in an upscale community in Brentwood, California.

Betty White House Brentwood California

This picturesque abode played host to Betty White for over 50 years! The property was purchased by White and then-husband, Allen Ludden, in 1968 due to its close proximity to studios.

Located in an upscale community in Brentwood, Calif, the 2-story residence boasted 3,000 square feet as well as 5 spacious bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.

Some amenities you could expect to find in this humble home included a sunroom that overlooked the lush grounds (one of Betty’s favorite spots in the home), swimming pool, 3-car garage, and a guest house where famous names, such as Burt Reynolds, occasionally stayed during visits to Betty and Allen’s home.

Only 4 months after White’s death, the property sold for $10.678 million in June 2022.

Unfortunately, Betty White’s Brentwood home is no longer standing as of June 2022. The property was demolished to make room for a new structure.

This gorgeous oceanfront estate was actually built by Betty and her husband. Sadly, the couple had little time to enjoy it together though as Ludden would pass away shortly after its construction in 1981.
Despite this, Betty loved this home dearly and created many wonderful memories here with family and friends.

The 3-story residence offers 3,600 square feet of living space, 4 bedrooms and 4 and a half bathrooms.

Oh yeah, and let’s not forget about the endless supply of natural lighting and panoramic ocean views of Lobos Nature Reserve, Monastery Beach, and Ribera Beach from almost every room in the house!

A large skylight and walls of glass make this dining room and kitchen both vibrant, welcoming spaces that are made to feel even more spacious by the vaulted ceilings.

Upstairs, the luxury continues in the master suite and ensuite bath. Plenty of space for seating areas and a massive bed as well as a stunning view of the ocean make this one seriously incredible place to snooze!

If the view of the beach isn’t already amazing enough, the lush gardens on the grounds provide some next-level landscape eye-candy.

The property sold in 2022 for $10.755 million – nearly 3 million over asking! What makes this even more surprising is the fact that the buyer wasn’t even allowed access to the home prior to purchase – they were only allowed to view the exterior.

Betty White husbands included Dick Barker (1945-1945), Lane Allen (1947-1949), and Allen Ludden (1963-1981). Ludden passed away from stomach cancer on June 9, 1981.

Betty White Challenge

Following her passing, fans of Betty White started a viral fundraiser known as the “Betty White Challenge.”
The challenge, which honors the late icon’s love of animals, asks fans to make a donation to an animal shelter or rescue in Betty’s name on her birthday. Surprising everyone at the time, this challenge ended up raising $12.7 million on Facebook and Instagram alone!

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that Betty White was one incredible woman and is dearly missed by us all.
