This classic, one-story ranch home in Beverly Hills has been a Sinatra family mainstay for decades. Now it’s time for a new tune—the home is on the market for $8 million.

Records indicate this was the 90210 home of music legend Frank Sinatra’s first wife, Nancy Barbato Sinatra, the mother of the iconic crooner’s three children.

Even after the couple divorced in 1951, the elder Nancy remained an integral part of his life, which included myriad affairs and three more wives: Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow, and Barbara Marx.

Built in 1979, the home isn’t sprawling and flashy. It gives off homey and warm—yet elegant—vibes. With four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and 4,785 square feet, every inch of the home is classically appointed for both comfort and style.

Located in the hilly part of Beverly Hills at the end of a long, private, tree-lined drive, the home sits on a lot that measures just over an acre, and offers serene canyon views.

A few of the highlights include vaulted and coffered ceilings, French doors leading to an inner courtyard, and stately fireplaces in the living room and master bedroom. According to the listing details, there’s also a fabulous walk-in bar “where Hollywood and international celebrities have gathered to toast one another for decades.”

The master suite is a glorious retreat, thanks to a double-sided fireplace, his-and-hers baths, soaring vaulted ceilings, and a spacious loft overlooking the room.

Nancy Barbato Sinatra met Frank when she was 17 and he was 19. They married in 1939. Their marriage lasted for 12 years, during which time she worked as a secretary and answered her husband’s fan mail.

In the 1940s, they moved to Southern California as Frank’s movie career was burgeoning. She remained in the Los Angeles area for the rest of her life.

In July 2018, Nancy Barbato Sinatra passed away at age 101. Frank preceded her in death in 1998, but former couple had reportedly remained on good terms. When asked why she never remarried, she asked a journalist incredulously, “After Sinatra?”
