A Spanish Colonial style villa of exceptional character and beauty, this gracious
1920s residence designed by architect Ralph Flewelling has been thoughtfully
restored and exquisitely updated to balance traditional detailing with every
contemporary comfort. With a celebrity pedigree and a prime location in the
Beverly Hills Flats, this exceptional estate offers a setting for both tranquil privacy
and brilliant entertaining. Stunning materials and architectural details include wide
arched doorways, chandelier-height truss ceilings, handsome wood and terracotta
tile floors, iron grillwork, and wrought-iron handrails. The home’s main living
spaces surround and open onto a peaceful central courtyard.
From a large, gated motorcourt, huge double doors open into a double-height entry
hall that has been reimagined as a fantastic and functional library, complete with
groin vault ceiling, wraparound stenciling, lighted shelving, a library ladder, and a
cozy spot for reading. Through one doorway is the grand living room, through
another, the dining room, with a wall of glass doors open to the courtyard. Beyond
the dining room, with easy access to both the courtyard and the back yard, is a great
room that includes a family room/sitting area with fireplace and a spectacular
kitchen with a dining area, huge island, pantry, every quality appliance, and amenity,
and a reading nook.
There are two staff/guest bedrooms on the main level and a short hallway leads to a
generous den/media room with fireplace, doors to the back yard and the courtyard,
and a kitchenette with steps to a basement-level room currently used as a gym and
ideal for a wine cellar. An office and a powder room complete the main floor, and a
gorgeous tiled staircase leads to the upper floor, where there are four bedrooms
(one used as an office) and a long loggia and balconies reflecting the archways on
the lower floor. The majestic owner’s suite is grand in scale and comfort, with a
fireplace, two full baths, an impressive custom closet, and French doors onto
balconies overlooking the courtyard and the back yard and pool.
In addition to the entertaining area provided by the fountain courtyard at the center
of the house, the serenely landscaped backyard offers ample outdoor room for
dining, seating, and pool recreation. Beyond the sparkling pool, spa, and another
fountain is a lovely guest house with a welcoming front porch.
With the stylistic flair of Hollywood glamour and the up-to-date amenities of today’s
lifestyle, this is a legacy property of exceptional luxury, quality, and grace.
