The exterior of the home is just as awe-inspiring as the interior. Surrounded by greenery, the driveway leads to a blue stone walkway, which perfectly matches the stone detailing covering the entire exterior of the house.

In addition to a large grass area in the backyard, the outside of the house also features a combined basketball and tennis court, gazebo, an outdoor spa, a pool and hot tub.

Wraparound covered terraces, connected to the home, overlook the grassy area, gazebo and athletic courts, “offer[ing] seamless indoor-outdoor living and al fresco dining with panoramic views.”

While the greenery surrounding the home gives the illusion that it’s located away from civilization, it is actually a stone’s throw from shopping centers, towns and multiple golf courses.

Carson, who died in 2005, was best known as a comedian and the host of “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.” He currently holds the title of the longest running host of “The Tonight Show,” having sat behind the desk for 29 years.

Although Carson was the third host of the program, he is the one many people associate with it, and is often considered the benchmark for any late night talk show host.

“I am one of the lucky people in the world,” he said during his final “Tonight Show” sign-off. “I found something I always wanted to do, and I have enjoyed every single minute of it.”

Carson was replaced by Jay Leno, who hosted the show from 1992 to 2009 and was followed by Conan O’Brien, who only hosted for one year before handing the reins back to Leno, who hosted a second time from 2010 to 2014.
