The public is again invited to tour the late entertainment legend Jerry Lewis’s home.

Be prepared to bid at least a million dollars, which is relatively low for this property.

Located in the historic Scotch 80’s neighborhood, the Lewis residence is up for sale with an open house and offer presentation from 2 to 4 p.m. on June 29. The starting bid is set at $999,999.

Those wishing to attend and bid at the event, held at the home near Charleston Boulevard and Shadow Lane, must pre-qualify or provide proof of funds when submitting an offer.

The seller has an undisclosed reserve price and can reject any offer that doesn’t meet it.

Jerry Lewis purchased the property in 1982 and lived there until his death in August 2017. His widow, Sam Lewis, and daughter, Danielle Lewis, moved out in the summer of 2018 after the family auctioned nearly all of Lewis’ personal items.

None of Lewis’ belongings remain in the house or on the property.

Sam Lewis declined to comment about her former home on Saturday. When informed of the latest development via a phone call, she responded, “Well, that’s news to me.” This has been her consistent reaction to any news about the house since she left the property.

Nate Strager of Luxury Estates International is the listing agent for owner Brumbies Capital Inc., an Australian private lending company. The company bought the home from Nevada Trust Deed Services, a foreclosure company, for about $2 million last September.

Strager initially listed the home for $2.5 million in January, reduced it to $1.5 million in May, but it remains unsold. The $1 million starting price and open house offer presentation aim to renew interest in the property. The top three bids will be tallied, and Strager will present them to his clients in Australia.

The reserve price will only be disclosed if it is met during the event; this is not a traditional auction where the highest bid is final.

The Zillow listing mentions Lewis’ ownership: ‘Live like a celebrity in the former Scotch 80 home of Jerry Lewis. Beautiful brick exterior, fountain, and gated driveway,’ reads the presentation.

The six-bedroom, six-bathroom home offers 8,000 square feet of space, a petrified wood fireplace, pool, and a recently renovated kitchen.

“Entertain in the spirit of old Hollywood. Gorgeous woodwork, elegant chandeliers, new flooring and upgrades throughout!” trumpets the listing. “Bright new kitchen with waterfall island and splashes of color in luxury appliances. Double oven, wine cooler, Sub-Zero refrigerator and more! Winding staircase leads to modern primary bedroom with terrace above living room.”

About $40,000 in upgrades have been invested in the home since September.

The home has not had a long-term resident owner since Lewis’ death. Sam Lewis sold to investor Jane Popple for $1.2 million in 2019. Popple has been well-known for her purchases of the homes of famous subjects. Along with the Lewis house, she has owned Ted Binion’s estate on Palomino Lane in 2017 and singer Juan Gabriel’s estate on Pinto Lane in 2014 before selling both.

Popple listed the Lewis home for $1.8 million the year of her purchase. A $2.5 million bid at a live auction in 2021 failed to materialize into an actual sale. Blooming Desert LLC in Las Vegas bought the home for $1.4 million in 2021. That company lost control of the property this past September after mortgage payments stopped.

Now Strager hopes to make the Lewis property someone’s forever home.

“Hopefully we’ll be able to put it in contract, and put somebody in the property who is going to live in it, long-term,” the agent says. “We hope it’s somebody who loves the home, and appreciates its history.”
