Description

Step beyond the private gates into a world where cinematic legacy meets refined contemporary luxury. Originally constructed in the late 1930s, this Georgian-inspired estate has been extensively and thoughtfully renovated, seamlessly marrying its historic roots with elevated modern refinement. Once home to silver-screen icons Audrey Hepburn and Deborah Kerr, the residence rests on an exceptionally rare ~31,163 sq ft (~0.72-acre) lot in the heart of Brentwood, serene and secluded yet just moments from the city's vibrant pulse. Gracious symmetry, soaring ceilings, and impeccable architectural details anchor a luxurious yet welcoming space. A covered lanai featuring a fireplace and built-in heaters invites guests to explore rose-bordered pathways that balance formal elegance with tranquil ease. Enjoy effortless indoor-outdoor flow throughout the living room, while the wood-paneled conservatory, with its custom millwork, offers the perfect space for conversation or quiet retreat. The formal dining room, embellished with hand-painted Gracie wallpaper, exudes timeless sophistication, ideal for elegant gatherings or intimate celebrations. The sun-kissed chef's kitchen overlooks the pool and is appointed with premium stainless-steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, and adjoining guest or staff quarters. A refined library and flexible living spaces make the main level both functional and graceful. This home offers five bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms, designed with both privacy and luxury in mind. The upstairs primary suite is an ideal escape, complete with dual spa-like bathrooms, walk-in dressing rooms, and a private balcony with sweeping garden views. Two additional en-suite bedrooms upstairs, one with a fireplace and the other framed by verdant panoramas, offer serene overnight sanctuaries. A fourth en-suite bedroom is located on the main level, while a fifth bedroom, ideal for guests, staff, or a gym, is privately tucked away on the lower level. Outdoors, enjoy resort-style amenities including a heated pool, private putting green, expansive lawns, and a tree-lined hillside with winding garden trails, a rare and enchanting natural feature in Brentwood. Mature landscaping and thoughtful design make every corner of this estate feel secluded and serene. Located just steps from Kenter Canyon Elementary, one of L.A.'s highest-ranked public charter schools, this estate also offers access to a top-tier academic community. Historic charm meets modern reliability with a multi-zone HVAC system, whole-home gas generator, hot water recirculation, and an oversized two-car garage. Offered for the first time in over 30 years, this is more than a home; it is a narrative of elegance, history, and timeless allure.
