About 803 N Rexford Drive

If you've seen this home before, you will not recognize it now. Awaiting its first new owner in 29 years, this is a truly remarkable example of a grand 1sty Italian Renaissance villa (c. 1923) securely gated from the road and illustrating sublime symmetry in its facade enhanced by a beautiful wide terrace and detailed upper frieze panels. Comfortably elegant spaces with wood floors surround a showstopping glass-ceilinged central atrium with a lovely fountain allowing for seamless flow from the public rooms to the private suites. The gracious entry foyer reveals voluminous light-filled living, dining, and family rooms at the front of the home which exhibit extraordinarily high ceilings along with a stunning barrel-ceiling and striking fireplace in the living room. These spaces and the central atrium could readily double as a glamorous Hollywood movie set from a bygone era. The formal butler's pantry flows to the updated granite kitchen which opens to a 'mud room' and inviting large breakfast room overlooking the central atrium. Designed for entertaining, the home features two updated powder rooms. The primary suite contains a magnificent marble bathroom and two walk-in closets. 3 other bedroom suites are set along the rear of the home overlooking the grounds. A separate den leads to the rear yard with patios, lawns, pool bath, cabana, large bar area (former BBQ center), and a 3 car garage with convenient alleyway access. Mature hedging in the rear provides requisite privacy. There is a partial lower level in the home encompassing a utility room, laundry room, and a bright 5th guest suite. Deserving of a proper and sensitive renovation, this gorgeous home embodying classic European splendor in the heart of the Beverly Hills Flats is proximate to the finest amenities in the city and beyond.
