According to The Associated Press, the widow of producer Aaron Spelling paid $47 million for a two-story condo in the Century City area of Los Angeles. My favorite feature: A bedroom bigger than most houses. How big? 4,000 square feet, which amounts to almost one-quarter of the entire condo.

The story says that the price paid by Candy Spelling for the 16,500-square-foot property works out to $2,848 a square foot, a record price for a Los Angeles condo unit, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.

The condo, which is still under construction, isn't the first record-breaking residence for Spelling. Her current abode, a 123-room mansion that she and her husband dubbed "The Manor," is the largest home in Los Angeles County at 56,500 square feet, according to The Associated Press.

There's more: Spelling's new digs will have a living room with two working fireplaces, a dining room for 25 guests, the 4,000-square-foot master bedroom suite and a conservatory with a rose garden, as well as a swimming pool and deck, according to the AP.

Goldberg said Spelling was moving to downscale her living space after her husband's death in 2006.
