Property Description
On a street known for its legendary entertainment industry cachet, Chateau Jean des Lavandes presents as one of the best preservation and restoration opportunities to come to market in Beverly Hills. Designed by architect Nicholas A. Kabush in 1935, the exquisite residence retains an excellent level of original historic integrity and detail, with future plans for a 13K+ SF residence by William Hefner for a ground up construction. The French Normandy residence remains deeply rooted in its original design, with thoughtful updates that respect rather than redefine its architectural heritage. Rich stonework, exceptional millwork, and a remarkable level of preserved detail continue throughout, approached by a gated circular drive and detached three-car garage. Commissioned in the early twentieth century, the landscape by celebrated California designer Edward Huntsman-Trout remains one of the estate's defining features. Much of his original design endures today, where meandering boxwood-lined pathways, expansive lawns, mature trees, and a swimming pool extend the architecture into the surrounding gardens.Inside, a formal living room looks across the gardens, while a separate entertaining lounge with a built-in bar and library provides an intimate gathering space. The family room centers around a stone fireplace, adjacent to the chef's kitchen complete with a large butler's pantry and sunlit dining room overlooking the landscape beyond. Separate exterior access from the service spaces connects directly to the gated front courtyard, enhancing ease and functionality. Upstairs, the primary suite opens to an oversized private terrace overlooking the gardens, while an equally impressive secondary primary suite is defined by soaring pitched ceilings and beautifully preserved original timber beams. A lower level with its own sitting room, bedroom, bath, and separate entrance provides flexibility for guests, extended family, or staff accommodations. Occupying approximately .6 acres on a coveted street-to-street parcel spanning Ridgedale Drive to Hanover Drive (dual entry points), the compound sits along the border of Beverly Hills and Holmby Hills, surrounded by many of the city's most significant estates. Whether preserved in its current form or reimagined through the included William Hefner vision, Chateau Jean des Lavandes represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to secure one of Beverly Hills' enduring legacy estates.
