Dick Van Dyke has been a beloved Hollywood figure for nearly seven decades, first making his mark in the industry with TV and stage appearances in the 1950s before achieving stardom in the '60s with hits like Bye Bye Birdie, The Dick Van Dyke Show and Mary Poppins.
However, the legendary entertainer has lived in the same humble abode since 1986, a beautiful gated mansion in Malibu, California which is now valued at $8 million.
The actor purchased the home after his divorce from first wife Margerie Willett and lived there for over 30 years with his longtime partner Michelle Triola Marvin, who passed away in 2009 at the home.

Arlene frequently does Instagram Live sessions, updating fans on life in "Vandy Manor," as it's affectionately known, and did a recent spate of sessions while preparing a St. Patrick's Day breakfast for herself and Dick.

She then cut to a video of the kitchen, featuring several modern appliances but more well-loved wooden drawers and black marble countertops, eschewing more of the glossy glam of most celebrity homes today.

The home is filled with several trinkets and memorabilia spanning Dick's long and illustrious career, including many portraits and souvenirs from his films like Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The Van Dyke family also turns their home into an attraction for Halloween annually.

The mansion was also recently the setting for the Coldplay music video "All My Love," which paid tribute to the Disney Legend. Chris Martin and Dick made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to speak about their experience working together, with the English singer explaining that he long held a fascination for the Diagnosis: Murder star, whose home happened to be close to his.
The Van Dyke family (including Dick's children and grandchildren) was also involved in the production of the clip, which began when Chris was invited to Vandy Manor for breakfast with his two kids, Apple and Moses.
The Coldplay frontman, however, hilariously recalled that his favorite moment was seeing Dick's son Barry, a long-established actor and grandfather, sweetly ask his father: "Dad, can I turn the pool slide on?"
