The mansion Tom Petty rebuilt after an arsonist tried to burn it down is back on the market for $5 million just a year after it sold - here's a look inside the sprawling Encino property
Tom Petty's former home totals 11,483 square feet, with six bedrooms and ten bathrooms. The Los Angeles Daily News reports that it was rebuilt after an arsonist set fire to it in 1987 and burned down almost the entire home.
The home is currently owned by Paramount Pictures executive Randy Spendlove, who bought it in October 2018 for just under $5 million.
