Exclusive | Soap hunks former Hollywood Hills chalet feels like Disneyland and it can be yours for nearly $3M

A Hollywood Hills home that looks like an Aspen chalet plunked down in Los Angeles has hit the market for $2.99 million.The all-wood spread at 8497 Harold Way was once home to soap star Peter Reckell, the original Bo Brady on “Days of Our Lives.”“It looks like you are in Aspen,” listing broker Bianca Fields of Carolwood Estates told The Post. “But it feels like Disneyland, like it’s not even real,” added Carolwood co-listing broker Adriana Yedidsion.The pair share the listing with Mark Cianciulli and Patrick Sweeney of The CREM Group.Built in 1954, the “chalet-inspired” house comes with a peaked roof and a “country and rock-n-roll vibe,” Yedidsion said.Reckell played Bo from 1983 to 1987 and returned to the role on and off until 2023.He owned the 4,598-square-foot home for 19 years, from 1984 to 2003.That stretch covered his marriage to Dale Kristien, a “Days of Our Lives” co-star who went on to star in “The Phantom of the Opera.” The two wed in 1987 and divorced in 1991.
