According to the New York Post , White purchased the plot with her husband Allen Ludden in 1978, built the house from the ground up, and continued living there for decades after Ludden’s death in 1981. The sunny estate is just a stone’s throw not only from Ribera Beach and Monastery Beach, but also from Point Lobos State Natural Reserve (though no dogs are allowed there, which White, a lifelong dog lover, couldn’t have been too happy about). But you don’t have to move into Betty White’s own house in order to embrace her outlook on life—the endlessly quotable entertainer’s witty one-liners are all the advice you need.
