Set behind gates to ensure the owner’s privacy while also establishing a tranquil atmosphere, this grand manor is located a short distance from the hustle of Los Angeles in the extremely desirable, world-famous neighborhood of Beverly Hills, California.

A tour of the very spacious 13,300-square-foot, eight-bedroom, nine-bath residence reveals that painstaking attention was paid to every detail of its construction and design. While it’s very well-suited for entertaining, the residence also is exceptionally capable of catering to all the needs of a large family.

At the main entrance’s double-height foyer, a unique stained-glass dome illuminates an imperial-style staircase. The spacious main living room features 14-foot ceilings and a massive fireplace. The adjacent family room’s bar is complemented by a fireplace that creates a convivial atmosphere. A formal dining room that can easily accommodate groups of 16 is served by a restaurant-quality kitchen that’s equipped to create lavish meals for large groups or intimate family dinners.

The owners and guests also have the option of more casual dining in a smaller, octagonal-shaped dining room.

The lavish master suite features dual marble baths, a sitting room, a fireplace, and a most generous amount of closet space. The home’s other notable elements include laundry facilities on each level, an elevator, a game room, a wine closet, a full gym, and two bedrooms for the staff, as well as a two-car garage to house the owner’s vehicles.

The exceptionally airy master bedroom features intricate ceiling and crown molding, with a sitting area complete with a fireplace to chase away the chill. (Courtesy of Jade Mills Estates)

The home enjoys a relaxing setting on just more than a half-acre of manicured gardens dotted with statuary and frescoes, as well as a Roman-style pool and poolside dining area shaded from the California sun and the elements by overhead balconies.

The living room is both cozy and posh, with a grand piano to entertain guests relaxing in the plush sitting area or playing cards at the adjacent table. (Courtesy of Jade Mills Estates)

The property is conveniently located in the heart of Beverly Hills, just a short drive from Rodeo Drive, the University of California–Los Angeles Medical Center, the Los Angeles Country Club, Franklin Canyon and other parks, and the area’s many other dining, recreation, and entertainment options.

The restaurant-grade kitchen is an entertainer's dream come true, eminently capable of preparing large feasts or simple snacks. (Courtesy of Jade Mills Estates)
