Seal and Heidi Klum have sold their Beverly Hills mansion for $7 million in an all cash deal.

Only a few home sales in other Southland counties have surpassed the $20-million mark.

It was a resort community of the industrialists of Tacoma who wanted a get-away spot nearby. Estates sprung up around the Lakes District as Tacoma grew. If there was money made it Tacoma, it was spent on an estate in the Lakes District.
Now you can take a peak into one of those houses.
