13 Dec
Summary
- Van Dyke's Malibu home has been updated for his 100th birthday.
- The property features an outdoor theater and aerial silks.
- The home is now valued at an estimated $7.7 million.
As legendary entertainer Dick Van Dyke approaches his 100th birthday on Saturday, December 13, his Malibu residence, known as Vandy Manor, has undergone significant renovations. Aerial views reveal preparations including a covered water slide and a white tent over the pool area, suggesting a floor has been installed for festivities. A new outdoor theater setup and additional privacy sails also mark the recent upgrades.
The 2,226-square-foot home, built in 1973, was purchased by Van Dyke in September 1986 for $750,000. It now boasts an estimated market value of $7.7 million. The property's extensive amenities include a water slide, a pool with a bar, a golf putting area, a dance studio, and an art studio.
Van Dyke, who married his wife Arlene Silver in 2012, has embraced a healthier lifestyle, attributing his longevity partly to abstaining from alcohol and cigarettes. The couple plans a quiet birthday celebration at home, with Van Dyke expressing a desire to watch Jeopardy! reruns with his wife, who he credits with making these the "happiest years" of his life.
