Mario Lopez’s former LA home lists for $5.59M

Mario Lopez may have moved on to a bigger home in La Cañada Flintridge, California, but the Spanish Revival estate he left behind is ready for another close-up.

His historic 1929 property in Glendale, California, originally built by armored car inventor Peter Damm and affectionately dubbed “Lorelei,” is back on the market asking $5.59 million — nearly two years after the “Access Hollywood” heartthrob sold it for $4.55 million, The Post has learned. 

The 7,711-square-foot villa was the first home ever added to Glendale’s historic registry. 

With eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, the home boasts wraparound views spanning from downtown LA to the Pacific Ocean.

Lopez, best known for his role as A.C. Slater on “Saved by the Bell,” purchased the property in 2010 for $1.94 million. 

During his tenure, he reimagined the interiors, installed a resort-style pool and gave the outdoor entertaining areas a glow-up. 

Though he initially listed the home for $6.5 million, it ultimately sold below asking in 2023 to East Coast retail entrepreneurs Pam and Marc Salkovitz, according to public records. Now, the couple is hoping to flip the script.

Perched at 330 Kempton Road, the compound is a study in Spanish grandeur: think terra-cotta tile, arched windows, wrought-iron gates and a gated courtyard anchored by hand-painted fountains.

Inside, the home unfolds with dark hardwood floors, exposed wood beams and curated gathering spaces, including a formal living room bathed in natural light, a dining room framed by intricate ironwork, and a chef’s kitchen with dual islands and a breakfast nook.

The primary suite offers panoramic city and mountain views, a dedicated office or nursery — and a spa bathroom with a soaking tub, an oversized rain shower and a walk-in closet.

The real star, though, might be the tiered backyard. It’s got a cabana with a full commercial-style kitchen, a beer tap and outdoor heaters, plus a zero-edge pool, a bocce court, secluded dining terraces and even a storybook-style playhouse. 

As an added bonus, the property qualifies for Mills Act tax incentives due to its historic designation.

“This property is a full lifestyle experience and design, where historic Spanish architecture meets modern luxury. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to elevate everyday living,” Nancy Gerber of Compass, who is co-listing the property with Craig Strong, told The Post.

Lopez now lives in a $9.3 million estate in nearby La Cañada — this one clocking in at over 9,200 square feet with a game room, a theater and another pool.
