Swift has been renovating the home in the past year, according to toptenrealestatedeals.com. The Georgian Revival has seven bedrooms and ten baths, which Swift is working towards landmark status ensure its preservation for future generations of movie fans.

The mansion offers a library-screening room, guest suite with a private entrance on the home’s main level, a library, card room, gym and an additional private guest apartment above the garage. A veranda that overlooks the city skyline in the master suite. Outside resides a swimming pool and pool house with kitchenette and sunken tennis courts.

The home was a popular location for many of the era’s Hollywood stars including Clark Gable and Charlie Chaplin, and used by Goldwyn for a few of his films, which include Wuthering Heights and The Best Years of Our Lives, a 1946 Oscar-winner.
