LAS VEGAS, NV – After failing to sell earlier this year for its asking price of $2.5 million, the former Las Vegas home of comedy legend Jerry Lewis has now gone to auction with a current starting bid of $1 million.

Its current owner, Australian private lending firm Brumbies Capital, originally purchased the home of the late “King of Comedy” – who resided there for 35 years until his death – in September 2023 for $2 million.

The 7,230 square-foot home – located in Las Vegas’ swanky Scotch 80s neighborhood and boasting an impressive six bedrooms and six bathrooms – initially had difficulty in finding a buyer following Lewis’ passing in 2017 at the age of 91. It was eventually sold to Jane Popple in 2019 for $1.2 million, and then auctioned off for the sum of $2.5 million; however, when the winning bid fell through, it was listed on the open market for $1.8 million.

Thereafter, the property, 1701 Waldman Ave, Las Vegas, was sold to Iddo Gavish of Century 21 Gavish Real Estate for approximately $1.4 million. Gavish subsequently modernized the home, making several large-scale updates to the landscaping, gates, pool, master bathroom and kitchen.

Later, the home was purchased by Blooming Desert LLC in 2021 for $1.4 million, and then put up for sale for a brief amount of time in 2022 for an asking price of $2.7 million; the home was later sold by Nevada Trust Deed Services in a foreclosure sale to Brumbies Capital.

The two-story residence – built in 1954 and located at 1701 Waldman Avenue – will be holding an open house on June 29 followed by an offer presentation, with the formal opening bid set at $999,999 with an undisclosed reserve price that will only be made public if it is met, reports say. Bidders are required to pre-qualify or provide proof of funds.

LAS VEGAS, NV – The Las Vegas home of late comedian Jerry Lewis, which has changed hands several times over the years since his passing, has been listed on the real estate marketplace once again, with its current owner asking for a cool $2.7 million for the former abode of the legendary funnyman.

Lewis had resided in the home – located in Las Vegas’ swanky Scotch 80s neighborhood – for almost 35 years; upon his death in 2017, it initially had difficulty in finding a buyer before eventually being sold to Jane Popple in 2019 for $1.2 million. It was then auctioned off for the sum of $2.5 million, but when the bid fell through, it was listed on the open market for $1.8 million.

Thereafter, the property, 1701 Waldman Ave, Las Vegas, was sold to Iddo Gavish of Century 21 Gavish Real Estate for approximately $1.4 million.

Gavish had spruced up the property before putting it up for sale, modernizing the home – while not taking away from the home’s nostalgia or history, he said – with several large-scale updates due to its need for “rehab and renovation.” The work included a renovation of the landscaping, gates, pool, master bathroom and kitchen.

The home, coming in at 7,230 square-feet and offering an impressive six bedrooms and six bathrooms, will officially be listed on the market this week for $2.7 million

Gavish also noted that he wanted to pay homage to Lewis’ legacy – especially due to his history as a long-time advocate of the Muscular Dystrophy Association with his famous “Jerry’s Kids” fundraisers – by hosting several charity events sponsored by his agency, with the proceeds going to the organization that Lewis represented for so many years.

The main fundraiser will take the form of a “socialthon” – the date of which will be announced – will run on multiple social media platforms, during which supporters can make online donations.

LAS VEGAS – Famed comedian Jerry Lewis had resided in Las Vegas for over 30 years before his death in August of 2017 at the age of 91. Recently, local real estate investor Jane Popple announced that his home would be going up for a public auction planned from May 25th through 27th.

Popple had previously purchased the home for $1.2 million from Jerry Lewis’s Widow, Sam, in 2018. Lewis’s daughter, Danielle, had grown up in the residence, and she and her mother had held an auction of much of the late comedian’s personal belongings and movie memorabilia earlier this year. The auction included over 400 items which netted $1,071,766.00 in proceeds.

Located near Interstate 15 and Charleston Boulevard in the affluent Scotch 80s neighborhood, the 7,325 square foot house comes in at two stories and boasts five grand bathrooms. There is a casita – a small house unconnected to the main house used for guests or as a changing room – as well as an office, a large in-ground pool, and an expansive backyard that the property’s listing says is ideal for entertaining guests. In fact, over the years the residence has been host to a variety of parties and get-togethers featuring many well-known celebrities and Las Vegas dignitaries of whom were entertained in the extensive bar located in the house’s family room. The list price is $1.8M.

An enthusiast of the color red, Lewis would often wear a red shirt or sweater while performing; his former Las Vegas home also reflected this color aesthetic, with many of the carpets, appliances, and pieces of furniture crimson in color, giving the accommodations a bright, warm, and inviting sensibility.

The Scotch 80s neighborhood itself is considered well-to-do, with the median price of a single-family home coming in at over $734,000.00. The neighborhood has seen a variety of celebrities and well-known businessman calling it home since the 1950s, including Howard Hughes, Steve Wynn, singer Phyllis McGuire, Carolyn Goodman, and more.

Jerry Lewis entertained millions of fans after appearing in dozens of comedy films and television shows over decades, often with his friend and partner Dean Martin, himself another famous Las Vegas entertainer and comedian. Lewis was also well known for hosting an annual Labor Day Telethon that raised money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, benefiting children who were affectionately known as “Jerry’s Kids.”
