About This Home

As of November 2023

''Laurelwood'' Visalia's most Iconic home! Anyone who's lived in Visalia know this place, it has been used as the backdrop for countless photo & video shoots through the years. Now is your rare opportunity to own Don Douglas's legendary mansion. Don purchased the 1931 Tudor style home on 1/2 in 1960 & created his Victorian Estate. With a collection of architectural artifacts from all over the world incorporated to transform you to the era of Gatsby. It has been lovingly restored and modernized for todays comfort. This is absolutely a must see!!!
