About This Home

As of January 2026

A timeless and turn-key residence in the City of Beverly Hills. Just one mile north of Sunset Blvd, this elegant home sits on a quiet cul-de-sac off lower Benedict Canyon. With five bedrooms and five and a half baths, the three-story home offers a flexible layout with ultimate privacy and wonderful city and mountain views. At the heart of the home lies a serene, garden courtyard visible from all the main rooms. Up a short flight of stairs from the foyer, the main floor is connected by a sunny and gracious hallway. Here you'll find a spacious, sunken family room and wet bar, a well-appointed eat-in kitchen, a formal dining room, living room, office, powder room, and a staff bedroom & bath tucked away behind the laundry room. On the top floor is a primary bedroom featuring dual bathrooms, two walk-in closets, and two private balconies which incredible views. Another upstairs bedroom with en-suite bath is currently used as an office. The lower level is dedicated to entertainment with a spacious TV room and a pool table. Two more bedrooms (one currently used as a gym) and a full bathroom with a steam shower complete this level. Outdoors, you'll find a beautifully landscaped courtyard, offering private space for relaxation, entertaining, and dining. A two-car garage, walk-in security gate, and locked gardener entrance offer ultimate security. This Beverly Hills classic is the perfect blend of timeless elegance and modern comfort.
