The Nesmith house is situated high in the Hollywood Hills and is considered one of the most luxurious homes in Hollywood. It was designed by one of the leading architects in the U.S., who lived there himself before Mike and Phyllis bought the home for their own. Since they moved in, they have completely remodeled and redecorated the house to give it warmth and really make it “their” home. Even though Mike’s house is secluded, and is enclosed by bushes, a wall and an electric gate with closed circuit TV—so that all visitors can be screened—you have a special invitation to come along and visit the Nesmiths at home.
Inside the house, we find Mike deep in thought—resting on the sofa in his living room, next to a beautiful stone fireplace. This is the organ, located on the other side of the living room. Here Mike composes most of his tunes. Mike stands next to his stereo center, where he listens to the playbacks. The stereo center is one of Mike’s pride and joys. The game room includes a pin-ball machine, which supplies lots of fun for Mike’s friends. Mike is seated at the Nesmiths’ 12-foot dining table. Here are Phyllis and Christian, enjoying a snack at the soda fountain which was built into the den. Christian shows you the garden and the magnificent views from every side of the Nesmiths’ home. But he’s more interested in introducing you to someone else— —his brand-new baby brother Jonathan Darby, who spends most of his time sleeping. What have we here—another addition to the Nesmith family?! Mike shows you a Texas Prairie Chicken which was given to him by a fan, and explains that these birds are very, very rare. Mike’s 1967 Cadillac has one-way black windows and a stereo. However, Christian prefers his own form of transportation—his convertible tricycle! Mike’s fabulous swimming pool is both inside and outside the house! You merely swim under the glass partition if you want some sun and water sports! Mike isn’t just reading—he’s seated in one of the two “stereo” chairs in his den. The chair has two speakers, and Mike listens to the music while relaxing.
