Whoopi Goldberg’s ABANDONED $12,000,000 Hollywood Mansion | 1987 Dream Home

This 7500 square-foot home was custom built in 1987 for a man named Cecil Hawkins. He was a businessman in Toronto.

In 2023, it was bought by a developer along with the neighbouring house to be demolished to construct a six story luxury condo building. As of February 2026, this home has been demolished.

in this video, I state how I believed that this is how the house was when it was built. While I’m largely accurate, I found out it had some changes. And how I found that out was pretty interesting… 

This was the home used in the movie good fences featuring Whoopi Goldberg and Danny Glover. I wish I had known this information prior to filming this video. after watching the movie, it was made very clear that the house was not in its original state as it sat in my video. It was even more 80s than I could’ve imagined it to be. I strongly suggest checking out the film if you’re interested in seeing how the home once used to look. It’s still pretty cool knowing I explored another home used in a movie with some pretty well known actors!
