Tasteful Friends: June Cleaver's Malibu Home is for Sale!

Please provide a better link.

Sorry, R1.

You can at least see photos at this link.

On the beach...

Inside.

Pool.

Does the realtor speak Jive?

Patio deck.

What it is, blood?

Here’s the entire listing. Someone overdecorated.

She really loved her striped patio furniture.

Why so cheap?

Was the room with the two double beds for the boys when they came to visit?

I like it but, yeah, too much stuff.

Because it’s destined to fall into the sea, R11.

Too close to the neighbors and too close to the beachfull of people. I'd want to own at least the property on each side and be quite a distance back from the beach, but I guess that would cost a lot more.

Is that a red Jack In The Box sign in the second picture, upper left?

R10, that furniture didn't belong to June Cleaver or Barbara Billingsley. June didn't exist and Barbara died 10 years ago.

I wonder what colour the walls are behind all those pictures? Not a square inch left to be seen. Was she a hoarder?

She died in 2010 - that's not her furniture!

why did she leave it to beaver? wally was the oldest so he should have gotten the house.

She actually left the house to Eddie Haskell.

They have been having sex since he was in high school.

Oh, DEAR!

How the hell did Barbara Billingsley afford a Malibu beach house?

I love the interior! All the patterns and the colors and the paintings on the wall and the bookcase stuffed with books. The only part of the decor that I dislike is that porch with the long table crammed onto it and then the two smaller tables. So imagine being invited to dinner and shunted off to the side like that. Also way too many deck chairs. But other than that, it’s beautiful.

I was half expecting a Beaver dam and a clutch room for all her neck pearls.

Beaver paid!

Lovely.

That bedroom of hers saw a lot of pearl necklaces over the last 60 years......and I ain’t talking about the kind you buy at Barneys....

The house is lovely for what it is, but for that PRICE it feels too much like a tiny cottage on a lake that your parent's either built themselves from a kit or bought for $10,000. The location is epic, but come on..

Was she a chicken hawk who targeted young surfers?

A middle aged woman living on something called “Surfrider Beach” is somewhat unseemly.

Good eye r15 . And a stoplight right in front of the house? No, thank you.

At least you'll always be safe when leaving your driveway.

That road must be busy as hell.

Wikipedia says she died at her home in "Santa Monica". Could it be that Mrs. Cleaver died in this house?

At least she’d make a fairly pleasant ghost.

And she’d tidy up after herself, for sure.

There's a lot of height and stairs for a 94 year old. Not to mention so close to the ocean. I hope she went peacefully.

Looks like it was being used as some sort of high end surfers retreat. Now they have to unload it cause of covid.

That's a lot of fruit

Is this what people in LA call a "tear down"?

Only by people who can't afford it.

Malibu was much more affordable decades ago. It wasn't a particularly wealthy enclave back in the 60s/70s.

Eve Plumb bought in Malibu, too.

I wonder if she and Mrs. Cleaver ever slammed clams, of an evening.

Eve Plumb sold that house for millions not too long ago. Smart investment.

Totally my dream house. Well done, Mrs. Cleaver.

The realtor should have staged this property better. There is too much distraction. The stripes aren’t letting you look at the space - instead your looking st furniture and objects. Clear off the counter and tables.! Let the space sell itself.!!

I imagine Mrs. Cleaver made good money for all those reruns for years. Was she ever married in real life?

No range hood?! I don't think so.

She was married three times and had two sons from her first marriage.

"I imagine Mrs. Cleaver made good money for all those reruns for years."

I don't think residual payments were common to actors during LITB's initial run in the late 1950s into the 1960s.

Yeah, no. I want all that shit picked up and put away right now. You understand me?

Way too much tat in evidence. Looks like MTV’s Real World, or bohemian Barbie beach house.

It's cute. Too much crap inside but I like the bones and the old-timey vibe of this one. I'd live there and be happy.

R49, wouldn't the busy street full of fast food joints and stoplights right behind the house, and the pier right next door, and the masses strolling on the beach right out front disturb you even just a little?

no pool....what a shame. Glorious having the ocean right there but it wouldn't be a swimmable temp all year round...

R51 - one of the pics posted showed a pool. Wasn't it in the front yard?

Eddie Haskell used to eat her out on those patio chairs. They loved putting on a show for the neighbors.

Trivia: The "Stewardess, I speak jive" scene was written with Jane Wyatt, the mother on Father Knows Best in mind. She came in, rehearsed an entire morning and shot all afternoon and they never got a usable take.

Someone suggested Billingsby. She came in, did a brief table read and then filmed the scene perfectly in her first take, which is the one seen in the film. There was no need for a second take.

^ Billingsley, of course. Call me Jane Wyatt.
