Actor Al Pacino in the 1983 movie Scarface.

Perhaps not, considering the opulent mansion which was the home to Al Pacino’s character Tony Montana in Scarface has just sold for almost $AUD31 million below its original asking price.

The home, which was used in the 1983 movie, has sold after 17 months on the market according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.

The 109-year-old home in Montecito, California would be most recognised for its scenes when Tony marries cocaine-addicted beauty queen Elvira, who was played by Michelle Pfeiffer.

And for the bloodbath scene where Tony makes his last stand and kills 42 would-be assassins.

Long before that though, it played host to another real life movie star wedding, that of Charlie Chaplin when he wed Oona O’Neill in 1943.

The home was listed by its Russian-born owner in 2014 with an asking price of about $48 million.

In the following months that was dropped and has now sold for about $17.5 million.

The home was designed by Bertram Goodhue who travelled with the owner James Waldron Gillespie, to the Middle East and Europe for a year looking for inspiration.

That inspiration included a Byzantine-style sitting room with an 18-foot domed ceiling decorated with a floral handpainted, gold and blue design in 24k gold leaf modelled after the church of St. John Lateran in Rome.

The dining room ceiling is also finished in gold leaf and depicts a scene of Alexander the Great conquering Persepolis.

The home has four bedrooms, nine bathrooms and a library, sitting room and a lounge.

There are views of the Pacific Ocean, mountains and Channel Islands from a rooftop terrace.

It was listed through Riskin Partners.

The grounds of the mansion still have several century-old tree specimens, including a massive Chilean wine palm. Picture: Tom Ploch. Supplied: TopTenRealEstateDeals.Source:Supplied
