Treasured homes along the California coast often come with a Hollywood connection.
In Montecito, El Fureidis, a grand mansion most notably featured as the home and symbol of extreme wealth for Al Pacino’s titular character in the 1983 film Scarface, is now on the market for a whopping 40 million!
Looking like something nestled on the Mediterranean, the 12,000 square foot mansion is surrounded by a 10 -acre -estate. The five-bedroom, seven-bath home also features Neoclassical and Middle Eastern elements, such as tiled, interior fountains, domed ceilings and elaborate mosaics. Other noteworthy areas of the home include a central atrium, rooftop lounge with 360-degree views.
Also about the grounds are an array of curated spaces such as layered gardens, pools and terraces—outdoors spaces that served as the backdrop for Tony Montana’s wedding scene in Scarface.
And for the history buff like me, there’s an of old-world regality can also be found in the mansion’s massive dining room, whose barreled ceiling displays a scene in 24-karat gold leaf painting of Alexander the Great conquering Persepolis. Enjoy these photos of the mansion the Kingpin Tony Montana called home in the movie Scarface. https://www.businessinsider.com/scarface-mansion-on-sale-for-18-million-2015-5
