Former Hollywood Hills Abode of "Days of Our Lives" Star Peter Reckell Re-enters Market at $3 Million
The former Hollywood Hills residence of Peter Reckell, the esteemed actor from "Days of Our Lives," has been listed for sale at a price nearing $3 million. This property, originally acquired by Reckell in 1984 during the peak of his career, served as his private sanctuary away from the public eye. After changing hands in 2003, the dwelling, which has undergone careful preservation and updates, now presents a unique opportunity for a new owner to inhabit a piece of Hollywood history.
Celebrity Haven Returns to the Market
In 1984, at the youthful age of 29, Peter Reckell, who captivated audiences as Bo Brady in the popular soap opera "Days of Our Lives," made a significant personal acquisition: a charming chalet-inspired home nestled in the exclusive Hollywood Hills. This dwelling became his peaceful refuge, a stark contrast to his on-screen persona as a rugged rebel. Within its walls, Reckell found solace, engaging in martial arts and music recording.
The property's ownership transitioned in 2003 when it was sold to Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Stephen Pincus for $1.55 million. Following Dr. Pincus's passing earlier this year, his estate has decided to place the meticulously maintained 1950s residence back on the market. The current asking price stands at $2.995 million, a testament to its enduring appeal and prime location. The listing is being handled by Adriana Yedidsion and Bianca Fields of Carolwood Estates, in collaboration with Mark Cianciulli and Patrick Sweeney of The CREM Group.
The entrance of the home, tucked away from the street, is distinguished by its brick-accented lower facade and three wooden garage doors. A substantial timber entry gate leads to the ground level, which boasts a soundproof recording studio and an adaptable adjacent area. A striking corrugated iron art wall lines the staircase, guiding visitors to the main floor. Here, a double-height living room commands attention, featuring a stacked-stone fireplace and elegant vertical windows. Adjacent to this impressive space are a kitchen and dining area, complete with integrated wine and glass storage, along with family and billiard rooms. A bedroom on this level has been thoughtfully converted into an office.
The upper level is dedicated to private quarters, including a spacious primary suite. This luxurious retreat offers a cozy fireplace, French doors opening onto an expansive balcony, a custom walk-in closet, and a mosaic-tiled bathroom equipped with dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, and a separate shower. Another bedroom provides a distinctive sleeping loft, accessible via a ladder, while a mezzanine reading nook offers a serene overlook of the great room below.
The terraced backyard is a haven for relaxation, featuring a built-in bench seating area and a hot tub. Surrounded by patios and lush greenery, this secluded outdoor oasis seamlessly connects to multiple entertaining decks, providing a quiet, wooded escape—the very solitude Reckell himself sought decades ago.
This unique offering not only provides a luxurious living experience but also a tangible connection to Hollywood's rich history, presenting an ideal opportunity for those seeking both elegance and tranquility.
