Description

Introducing a truly rare opportunity to own a piece of beverly hills history. lovingly maintained by the same family for over 60 years and passed down through a generation, this estate has not been available for sale in decades. nestled in the prestigious benedict canyon enclave, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home sits on a sprawling 12,000+ sq ft lot, offering an idyllic blend of original charm and modern potential, all just a short drive from the iconic beverly hills hotel and world-class shopping and dining. built in 1926, this home captures the essence of historical craftsmanship while offering luxurious living in one of the most sought-after areas of beverly hills. recognized in the los angeles historic resources inventory, this home appears eligible for the national register of historic places (nrhp) designation and the california register of historical resources. it is an excellent example of craftsman residential architecture, a rare style in the neighborhood, but exemplifies the tenets of the arts and crafts movement. the home's wood shingle cladding, low-pitched gables, and broad overhanging eaves enhance its historical authenticity and design quality. in addition, prairie and french casement windows add to the home's timeless beauty, offering expansive views of the surrounding landscape. upon arrival, the grand asymmetrical facade welcomes you with two sweeping staircases leading to the main level. inside, original hardwood floors throughout the home complement the natural light that fills the west-facing rooms. the living room boasts a cozy fireplace, built-in bar, and floor-to-ceiling library cabinets, offering breathtaking views of the canyon, trees, and hillsides. the kitchen is a culinary dream, featuring ample counter space, a pantry, and the centerpiece--a vintage yet functional fire engine red o'keefe and merritt stove. a convenient pass-through connects the kitchen to the dining room, perfect for seamless entertaining. upstairs, the primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat, complete with an en suite bath that has been thoughtfully upgraded for modern living. adjacent to the primary suite is a light-filled office or reading room, offering the perfect space for work or relaxation. the additional two bedrooms share a guest bath adorned with vintage black and mint tiles, transporting you back in time. ample storage, including a cedar-lined linen closet, enhances the practicality of this upper level. the lower level of the home is where the magic continues, offering a california basement with a bathroom and fireplace ideal for a private speakeasy, entertainment space, or guest quarters with a separate entrance. adjacent is a spacious storage and mechanical room. the property is a true haven for outdoor living and entertaining that has hosted hollywood glitterati through the years. multiple terraces and expansive patios offer endless opportunities for al fresco dining and relaxation under the stars. lush landscaping, citrus trees, and a tranquil, meditative garden further enhance the serene ambiance. surrounded by trees, flowers, and wildlife, including deer, owls, hawks, hummingbirds, and dancing dragonflies, this retreat offers the peaceful feeling of country living while just ten minutes from the action in beverly hills. the outdoor amenities include a swimming pool, spa, and an elevated terrace with a classic stone fireplace. while we have yet to verify, it is believed that john henderson, renowned for his stone and rock work throughout benedict canyon, may have crafted the stunning stone features that add historical charm to the property. there is also a two-car carport and motor court for additional parking. 2136 benedict canyon dr offers a unique blend of historical significance, architectural distinction, luxurious living, and limitless potential in one of the most coveted areas of beverly hills.
