What's Special About This Home
Tucked away on a knoll at the end of a cul-de-sac in the foothills of Benedict Canyon, this 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom Country Colonial Revival home is a true gem.
Originally built in 1939 and designed by architect Frederic Barienbrock for a silent screen actress, this property holds a special place in Beverly Hills' cultural legacy.
The European interior design details and custom wood built-ins exude warmth and sophistication, while the two wood burning fireplaces add to the charm.
The rustic farmhouse kitchen features artisanal wood counters, a sitting island, and professional chef's stove.
The lower primary suite offers an adjoining bathroom with a separate dressing area.
Enjoy the peaceful surroundings on the spacious outdoor rear deck that wraps around the back of the house, perfect for taking in the city lights.
The property grounds of over 18,000 square feet offer endless possibilities for creating your own private oasis in one of the most sought-after locations in Beverly Hills.
Don't miss this chance to own a piece of history and make it your own.
Lot APN #4348018012 is included in sale.
