1017 Ridgedale Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

Located on one of Beverly Hills' most prestigious streets, this remarkable tennis estate perfectly blends Old Hollywood glamour with timeless architectural details. Designed in 1933 by world-renowned architect Paul Williams (eight years before redesigning the famed Beverly Hills Hotel), the craftsmanship of this English Country Revival home has been cherished and updated over the years while preserving its architectural provenance. Upon entry, custom millwork, leaded glass, wainscoting, and detailed paneling set the tone in the foyer and formal living room, leading seamlessly to the salon/office/bar and sunroom. Updated in 2010, the modern kitchen features everything a chef could dream of; clad in top appliances from Wolf and Sub-Zero and boasting a large center island. The kitchen is flanked by a den, pantry/butler's pantry, and a large formal dining room. The upper level, accessible via vaulted-beam staircase or elevator, houses four en-suite bedrooms, including the primary wing. This showcase suite, set under massive vaulted ceilings, boasts a fireplace, two large closets, two stately bathrooms, and a balcony. The additional upper bedroom suites, including a guest apartment suite with its own living room, kitchenette, and separate entrance, are all located on a separate wing and are all generously sized. On the lower level, find a 700+ bottle wine cellar, theater with new 4K projector, en-suite office with fireplace, and multiple storage rooms. The backyard may be one of the best in the city, offering a pool/spa, multiple lounge decks overlooking the lit tennis court, firepit, BBQ, grassy yard, gardens, and a new clubhouse/gym. Other amenities include an oversized 4-car garage with a large circular driveway, six-zone HVAC, robust security system, mature landscaping, and more. Old English charm, Hollywood Golden Age motifs, and coveted architecture immaculately combine to achieve true character. It is not often homes of this pedigree and architectural grandeur, especially those designed by Paul Williams, grace the market.
