Bob Hope's Toluca Lake Home Hitting the Market

The historic house was built for the late comedian more than seven decades ago.

For the first time in its more than 70-year history, Bob Hope's storied compound in Toluca Lake is getting poised to change hands.

Built as the late comedian's dream home in 1939, the 87,000-square-foot lot is about to be listed on the real estate market, and there's already some interested buyers lining up, according to the Tolucan Times.

The property is located at 10346 Moorpark Street, an address where kids in the area knew they could score full-sized candy bars and silver dollars on Halloween, the Tolucan Times reports.
