After several months on the market, Judy Garland’s former Hollywood Hills home – which Sammy Davis Jr. owned at one time – has sold for $4.675million.

Garland lived in the home from 1944 to 1948, along with then-husband Vincente Minnelli and their daughter, Liza Minnelli, who was born in 1946, according to People.

The property sits on a third of an acre of land, which includes landscaped gardens full of bamboo, tropical plants and fruit trees and a swimming pool.
Despite having been tweaked in the years since Garland owned the home, many of Woolf’s original design elements – such as his detailed railings – and floor plans remain.
The room that once belonged to baby Liza Minnelli still exists next to the downstairs living room space, as does the ‘Judy Garland Suite’ – the original master bedroom – which is behind a floor-to-ceiling bookcase.
An additional hidden room in the home lies behind a walk-in closet and dressing area.

After Garland moved out of the home, it was bought by comedian and actor Wally Cox, who then sold it to Davis Jr. in 1955, expanded the property and tacked on the pool house.
Real estate company Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties said in its listing that the guesthouse was meant to be a place where music could be recorded or late-night parties could be held so that they wouldn’t disturb Davis Jr’s children who slept in the main house.
While Davis Jr. owned the home, rock act The Band lived and recorded music there.
According to online real estate records, the house was on the market for 181 days before being sold on August 5 after originally being listed for $5.2million. It appears the home was initially listed on the market in February for $6.129million.
