Presenting this bank-owned, palatial four-story Italian villa with manicured hedges and climbing vines perched on a winding drive just off of Coldwater Canyon, moments to the Beverly Hills flats and with quick Valley access. An ornate front door welcomes guests beneath a classic coat of arms bas-relief, near a statue-appointed front garden. Flower boxes hang below windows above. Inside, doorway casing frames moulding-dressed doors as travertine tiles cover floors and stairs. The living room features wood-beamed ceilings, fireplace with stone mantle, built-in shelving, and French doors to the outside. The formal dining room offers a bank of built-in display cabinets for showcasing china and special-occasion tableware. The kitchen, also with exposed beams, has a Wolf Gourmet range with hood, built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, and clerestory windows that wash the space in light. There is an office with built-in bookshelf and a breakfast room with multiple windows flanked by bifold shutters. Enter the primary suite through an ornate door to find artistic details in the ceiling, windows with bifold shutters, and built-in bookshelves. The en-suite bathroom includes separate dual vanities, clawfoot tub, shower, and a large amount of storage and closet space. A rear courtyard allows the opportunity to dine al fresco below the stars or to ascend the stairs to a garden pathway and your own hillside sanctuary. Enjoy your refuge away from the city yet close to the fine dining, shopping, and entertainment along Sunset Boulevard and throughout Beverly Hills.
