The wife of legendary late comedian Rodney Dangerfield is hoping for more than a little respect when she puts her gorgeous Art Deco Los Angeles mansion on the market.
Joan Dangerfield listed the property on the Bird Streets of the Hollywood Hills in February for about $17.4 million.
She acquired the property shortly after the comedian’s death in 2004 for approximately $6.3 million.
The house – which is described as ‘elevated art deco contemporary’ – has four bedrooms and six bathrooms.
It contains 5,400 square feet of living space with floor-to-ceiling glass walls that showcase the view of the Hollywood Hills.

Joan Dangerfield bought the property after selling the two houses she shared with her husband after his death from complications related to heart surgery.
The four-bedroom, six-bathroom home is a corner home hidden by neighborhood green spaces.
The two-story white house has a gated driveway that opens into a large courtyard that can accommodate several cars, as well as a three-car garage.
The living room contains a fireplace and is lined with glass doors that open out to the backyard.
This backyard has an infinity pool and spot, as well as a fire pit.
Perhaps she wants to hold a tribute to her late husband, a bust of Dangerfield stands next to the fire pit.
The home also includes a formal dining room, a gourmet kitchen stocked with high-end appliances, a central island, and a breakfast nook.
On the top floor, there is a master retreat room with another fireplace, walk-in closet and luxurious bath.

Rodney and Joan Dangerfield were married in 1991 until the Caddyshack star’s death in 2004.
Joan was Rodney’s second wife and third marriage.
In 2013, Joan revealed she has a slightly more unusual way of remembering her late husband: The 60-year-old keeps a bottle of Rodney’s sweat in her fridge.

“Rodney had a eureka moment,” she recalls. He said, ‘I sweat more than anyone. My sweat must be as good as Elvis’s sweat, right?’‘ and he would sweat a lot out there on stage. So my job became the sweat collector.”
Joan collected Rodney’s sweat with the familiar sponge and spoon method. ‘ID card collect his sweat — about an inch at a time,” she explains. “I thought we could tone it down, but he said, ‘No, that wouldn’t be right.'”
Born Jacob Rodney Cohen in New York in 1921, Rodney became a surprise hit on The Ed Sullivan Show in the 1960s and went on to appear in films Caddyshack and Easy Money in 1980.
