301 North Carolwood Drive is a private residence located at 301 North Carolwood Drive in the city of Los Angeles, ranking as the twelfth largest private residence in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The mansion was completed in 2016 on one of the most expensive streets in the world.

## History

The Mon Rêve estate originally stood at 301 North Carolwood Drive, once owned by celebrity Barbra Streisand. When Streisand owned the property it featured a 9,500 square foot home with five bedrooms and seven baths. The walled and gated Mediterranean-style home featured a pool, two-story living room, sunrooms, library and screening room. Streisand had decorated the interior with her Art Nouveau collection.

The home was sold to music executive Les Bider in 2000 and demolished shortly thereafter. The vacant lot was listed at US $13,995,000 by Linda May Properties, purchased in 2014 by David Bohnett for US $13.25 million. Bohnett used the land as his own personal park before selling it to Dream Projects LA and developer Gala Asher.

The current home was completed in 2016 and listed at US $150 million on April 12, 2016, the second most expensive residence for sale in the United States at the time. It was purchased in 2016 by billionaire Tom Gores, owner of the Detroit Pistons, in a US $100 million transaction in which several properties changed hands.
