A California property once home to one of the iconic “Golden Girls” has listed for $7.65 million.
The five-bedroom residence, built in 1948, is at 1240 N. Wetherly Drive, in the lower Bird streets north of Sunset in the Hollywood Hills, Gimme Shelter has learned.
The home was once owned by Estelle Getty — born Estelle Gettleman — who played Sophia Petrillo on the hit show from 1985 to 1992.

Next, an open chef’s kitchen features a walk-in pantry, as well as a breakfast bar and an informal dining area. Light streams in from large windows and French doors that open to the backyard.
