Property Description

Hidden behind layers of mature landscaping and approached through gates with complete privacy, this majestic residence unfolds through a sequence of stone pathways, sculpture gardens, lily ponds, and towering hedges that evoke the atmosphere of a secluded Montecito compound within the heart of Holmby Hills. The estate carries a rare piece of Hollywood history, most famously serving as the longtime residence of legendary actors Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor during the height of Hollywood's Golden Age. A tranquil entry courtyard centered around a koi pond introduces the home's architectural character, framed by ivy-covered walls, fruit trees, palms, and a detached stone guest suite tucked quietly away from the main residence. Inside, the interiors reveal a remarkable sense of scale and craftsmanship, with original wood-beamed ceilings, domed skylights, intricate iron bannisters, and expansive volumes that balance intimacy with grandeur.

A formal dining room is positioned to capture water features and garden views from nearly every angle, connecting seamlessly to a chef's kitchen appointed with a butler's pantry, wine refrigeration, and breakfast dining nook, designed for both large-scale gatherings and everyday living. A richly detailed library and family room with a full bar transforms effortlessly into a screening room with a concealed projector, while a separate office and lounge suite offers flexibility as an additional bedroom or private guest quarters. The primary suite occupies its own private wing with a dramatic entry foyer, stone fireplace and expansive terrace overlooking the grounds and distant city lights. Dual dressing rooms and walk-in closets are accompanied by a private wet bar and two entirely separate spa-inspired baths, sauna and private access to an expansive fountain terrace. A secondary primary suite offers another extraordinary retreat complete with a marble bath, sauna, oversized dressing room concealed behind a museum-worthy Coromandel screen, and a hidden library office integrated discreetly within the suite itself. Two additional upstairs bedroom suites are connected by a shared office and study area, while separate staff quarters provide three additional ensuite accommodations.
