A triumph of design, craftsmanship, and grandeur, 804 N. Elm Drive is an extraordinary approx. 20,000-square-foot Italian-style limestone villa nestled in the heart of the prime Beverly Hills Flats. Created by a powerhouse team of Los Angeles design icons - architect Richard Landry, builder John Finton, interior designer Joan Behnke, and landscape designer Christine London -this 7-bedroom, 15-bathroom estate was the recipient of Robb Report's Ultimate Home Award and stands as a true modern classic. Completed in 2011, the home is crafted entirely from hand-carved Dijon limestone, with a west-facing facade that fuses classical Italian elegance with Art Deco sophistication. The interiors are a symphony of curated detail, from a soaring foyer with a 7-foot bronze chandelier and Dale Chihuly glass sculptures, to panel-lined corridors illuminated by silk runners and vintage light fixtures. Every space has been designed for both intimate living and large-scale entertaining. The grand living room features custom architectural details and opens seamlessly to a stone-paved loggia through accordion doors, allowing for effortless indoor-outdoor flow. A 1,000-gallon saltwater aquarium, a two-story groin-vaulted gallery terrace, and a theater with a hand-crafted mahogany ceiling enrich the estate's immersive ambiance. The formal dining room overlooks the front garden and features custom millwork and bespoke lighting. The kitchen, designed to accommodate multiple preparation areas, is equipped with a stainless-steel barrel-vaulted ceiling, kosher Italian granite countertops, and hand-built mahogany cabinetry. A spacious breakfast room opens to the garden, pool, and water features, emphasizing the home's seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with vaulted ceilings, French doors to a trellised terrace, dual master baths, and a flexible sitting area that can be closed off with a large pocket door. One primary bathroom features a scalloped ceiling, custom mosaic floors, and a glowing skylight, while the second primary bathroom is clad in rich wood and Italian marble with bespoke bronze fixtures. Below ground, the lower level includes a nautically inspired game room, a full spa with an Endless pool, hot tub, steam room, massage area, and a professional-grade home theater. These amenities provide space for both recreation and relaxation, all finished to the highest standards. The exterior continues the home's architectural brilliance with a limestone rear facade enhanced by classic columns, arched openings, and carved roof details. The landscaping reflects a Northern Italian palette, transitioning from formal clipped boxwood and citrus trees at the front to lush, informal plantings and potted greenery surrounding the pool and entertaining areas in the rear. A pergola with a partial outdoor kitchen and grill completes the backyard retreat. A separate stone-clad guest pavilion offers privacy and rustic charm, positioned as a counterpoint to the elegance of the main residence. 804 N. Elm Drive is a rare achievement in architectural vision, blending classical European inspiration with California luxury living in one of Beverly Hills' most coveted locations.
