Tori Spellingis reminiscing about her anything-but-average childhood.
“The biggest misconception is that I grew up in the house,” Tori said of the family home during her chat with her costarJennie Garth. “We moved there when I was like 17. So I spent like two years there.”

TheBeverly Hills, 90210alum continued, “I never saw every room, and I lived there for two years. There was a wing that all of my mom’s staff lived in.”
Her parents built the 56,500-square-foot sprawling home that spans over four acres, once referred to as the manor or Candyland, in 1991. Candy sold the house two decades later before it was resold for nearly $120 million in 2019. Last month, the manorwas listed for salewith a much bigger price tag at $165 million, according to theThe Los Angeles Times.
Despite the property’s ample space that could easily have been mistaken for a hotel, Tori confessed the house still felt like home, saying, “I mean, it was warm. Or as warm as a 56,000-square-foot mansion can be.”

During her time living there, Tori also recalled her mom had only hosted “two or three parties.” One of them involved a royal guest from across the pond,Prince Charles.
“The first party, and one of her only parties, was forPrince Charles,” she remembered. “When he came to town, he wanted to have it there!”
Another big party she could recall being held at the mansion was her wedding. TheStori Tellingauthor also expressed her desire to take her children to tour the property.
“I’d love to take my kids there and be like, ‘Yeah, this is grandpa’s house.’ Because they would have loved to have met him,” she said.
Tori also shared the mansion held sentimental value, especially for her late dad, who died in 2006. According to her, Aaron did not care about living lavishly.
“He really built that because it was my mom’s dream, and he wanted her to be happy,” she said. “He was so in love with her.”
Candy opened up to PEOPLE in 2009 shortly after she put the house up for sale.
“I spent four years, 24-7, planning this house,“she saidat the time. “Now I need something smaller – just for me. I’m going to have to give up some things, but it’s time for a change.”
