715 North Alpine Drive
I am thrilled to announce
my latest listing- designed for impressive entertaining and extravagant comfort,
715 North Alpine Drive is an estate of splendor and majesty in an idyllic
setting in the flats of Beverly Hills. This remarkable residence has been
fabulously reconstructed over a period of four years, resonating with Spanish
and Moorish influences and incorporating rare treasures, such as hand-painted William
Morris beams and an art panel from Rudolph Valentino’s
bar. Nearly every room enjoys lush natural light through large illuminated
skylights and huge windows. Each space is crafted with attention to beauty and
livability: vaulted ceilings, hand-waxed Venetian plaster walls, woodburning
fireplaces, wide arched doorways, and exquisite floors of Portuguese limestone,
Brazilian mahogany, walnut, marble, or onyx. Lotus flower images recur
throughout the property along with the sinuous fronds of water plants portrayed
in skylights, floors, and railings on the gorgeous central staircase. The
library/media room is complete with projector and drop-down screen,
indoor/outdoor bar, herringbone patterned floors, and coffered ceilings, while
the 10,000-bottle wine cellar includes a computerized wine system with labeling
and elaborate custom ironwork. The list goes on! It is truly an estate of rare
vision and fully realized beauty.
The Beverly Hills Flats
The Beverly Hills flats
continues to lead as the most expensive Beverly Hills neighborhood. According to
Property
Shark, the Flats in Q3 of 2018 had a median sale price of $7,425,000. 2019 looks
even more promising with the January sales of 840 Greenway Drive for
$25,000,000, 816 North Alpine Drive for $16,350,000 and 603 Bedford Drive listed
at $15,900,000 and currently under contract.
