702 N Linden DR Beverly Hills CA 90210 MLS #26646241

A rare offering on the most prestigious 700 block in the Westend of the Beverly Hills Flats allows a fortunate visitor to step back in time to an era of fine craftsmanship and endless Deco-era details. This spectacular and authentic 2sty 1929 courtyard Spanish is replete with period tilework, fixtures, stenciled ceilings, stained glass, hardware, ironwork, and uniquely high ceilings. Grand entry foyer with a beautiful staircase featuring amazing riser tiles leads to a huge vaulted beamed stenciled ceiling living room, fabulous formal dining room with stenciled ceiling, lanai, and large family room/conv bedroom with fireplace. A mezzanine balcony on the staircase overlooks the living room for added drama. The lanai opens to the lush grounds with expansive lawns and patio space. Wonderful breakfast room with stenciled ceiling is accessed from the dining room, lanai, and center-isle kitchen. Upstairs you will find 3 immense suites each with balconies, dressing rooms, and original Period baths displaying wonderful circular showers and obligatory stunning tilework. Via a separate stairwell near the kitchen, a guest unit affords 2 bedrooms (or 1 bedroom with an office) and one bath. This guest unit connects through a balcony to the other 3 upstairs bedrooms. Behind the 2-car garage and storage room is a privately accessed guest/bonus/nanny’s room and bath. This classic residence with intense Spanish curb appeal is secluded from the road and offers a sense of tranquility just moments from world-renowned shopping, dining, and cultural landmarks including the Waldorf Astoria, Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Wilshire, and legendary Rodeo Drive. Cherished by the same family for 52 years, this gem is deservedly ready to be restored to its former glory.
