According to the New York Post, Dolly Parton's former Hollywood Hills home has been listed for $7.95 million. The four‑bedroom, six‑bathroom, 4,689‑square‑foot residence at 9196 Thrasher Avenue was purchased by Parton and her husband Carl Dean in 1985 for $750,000 and sold five years later for $1.2 million.
The property sits on a 0.35‑acre lot in the Bird Streets enclave above the Sunset Strip. Listing agents Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency and Edward Tinney of Nourmand & Associates say the home features floor‑to‑ceiling windows with views of downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean, a terrace, pool, spa, a primary suite with a private spa and deck, a kitchen equipped with Miele ovens and a Sub‑Zero refrigerator, a Zen garden, and a two‑car garage wired for an EV charger.
Parton’s marriage to Dean, who died on March 3 2025, remained private; the couple renewed their vows in Nashville in 2016. Parton herself died on August 25 2026 at age 80. The listing follows a series of recent Dolly Parton news items, including the opening of her posthumous museum in Nashville and legal disputes involving her estate.
