About the Listing CLW-X7755902 - CLW-X62009,CLW-C124327

This one-of-a-kind character home featured in multiple media outlets such as Robb Report and Dwell was the estate and workspace of the late celebrity and iconic fashion photographer Melvin Sokolsky for almost 50 years. Originally built in 1939 and designed by architect Frederic Barienbrock for a silent screen actress, the rich history and creative spirit of this inspiring property is a piece of Beverly Hills' cultural legacy. Perched on a knoll at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac and surrounded by nature in the foothills of Benedict Canyon, the peaceful landscape features an English garden with heirloom roses against the backdrop of serene Century City vistas. Located just minutes from world class shopping and restaurants on Rodeo Drive, this hillside sanctuary offers an unparalleled living experience. A long, brick-paved, gated driveway leads to an enchanting 5 bedroom and 4 bath Country Colonial Revival residence with European interior design details that exudes warmth and sophistication. Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a dramatic foyer with Degas-inspired powder room. Highlights include beautiful custom wood built-ins, imported clay tile flooring throughout, two wood burning fireplaces, wood-paneled study and wood beamed ceilings. Adjacent to the formal dining room is a rustic farmhouse kitchen featuring artisanal wood counters, sitting island, commercial stainless steel glass door display refrigerator and professional chef's stove. Expansive lower primary suite offers an adjoining bathroom with separate dressing area. A spacious outdoor rear deck that wraps around the back of the house is the perfect place to lounge and gaze at the city lights. The property grounds of over 18,000sqft offer a remodeled pool with new hardscaping and landscaping to complete this unique property. Lot APN #4348018012 is included in sale. Not subject to ULA tax in the city of Beverly Hills.
