A meticulously restored 1930s Italian Villa with palatial interiors and elegant finishes is now on the market for $26,000,000.

With a coveted 90210 zip code, the Beverly Hills property sits on a 25,000-square-foot lot on the famed Maple Drive. And as it happens on this ritzy street, the seller is no stranger to fame; former supermodel and Pirelli calendar girl, Christina Estrada, is the owner.

But not for long, as Estrada has enlisted the help of top producer and luxury expert Gary Gold with Forward One to offload the 8-bedroom home.

“This is the quintessential Beverly Hills Estate located on the best block of the best street in Flats,” says listing agent Gary Gold with Forward One. “This is the type of home you see in a movie portraying the good life.”

In fact, Gold was spot on. A fictional property said to be located at 24 Maple Drive is one of the most recognizable — and desirable — homes in movie history: the house Steve Martin’s character owned in 1991’s Father of the Bride.
