The Playboy Mansion doesn’t look like your father’s dream house anymore … because it’s completely unrecognizable these days, as a massive construction project ramps up.
Ya gotta check out these aerial shots of Hugh Hefner‘s former masterpiece … the Playboy Mansion is covered in scaffolding and the roof is hidden under massive tarps.
The beautiful lawns are no more … instead of lush green scenery, there’s mounds and piles of brown dirt.
Perhaps the biggest change going on right now at the Playboy Mansion … the world-famous grotto is looking like a shell of its former self, because the water’s gone and the pool’s been drained.
For context, here’s a refresher on what the Playboy Mansion used to look like back in its heyday.
The luxury cars are all gone too … now, the driveway is littered with cars from the construction crew.
As we first reported … the Mansion is getting a massive facelift under billionaire owner Daren Metropoulos, who bought it from Hugh for $100 million. As part of the sale deal, Heff was allowed to live in the mansion until he died in 2017.
