What's Special About This Home
This unique and character-filled country colonial revival home was originally built in 1939 by architect Frederic Barienbrock for a silent screen actress.
Situated on a knoll at the end of a cul-de-sac, surrounded by nature and an English garden with heirloom roses, this property is tucked away in the heart of Beverly Hills.
The 3411 square foot home features European interior design details, including imported clay tile flooring, wood-paneled study, wood beamed ceilings, and two wood burning fireplaces.
The main floor offers a dramatic foyer with a Degas-inspired powder room, formal dining room, and rustic farmhouse kitchen with artisanal wood counters and a professional chef's stove.
The lower primary suite includes an adjoining bathroom with a separate dressing area.
The spacious outdoor deck wraps around the back of the house, providing the perfect spot to relax and take in the city lights.
With over 18,000 square feet of property grounds, there is plenty of opportunity to create a private oasis in one of the most sought-after locations in Beverly Hills.
Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Beverly Hills' cultural legacy.
Lot APN #4348018012 is included in the sale.
