2573 Benedict Canyon Dr

Available for the first time in nearly 50 years along Benedict Canyon's Celebrity Row - a well-loved, longtime family retreat with tennis court, pool, and hillside views. Situated on nearly 3/4 of an acre, this sprawling Traditional home awaits its next era with your creative vision. Privately located on a promontory, the home is approached by a driveway shared with only one neighbor. Guests are greeted by a well manicured, Tudor inspired exterior with flat driveway and 2 car garage. Inside, a vaulted formal foyer introduces an expansive floor plan of over 3,900 square feet. A large formal living room with fireplace and decorative glass windows opens to a grassy side yard. Dining room with herringbone floor inlay connects to the kitchen with center island, breakfast area, and large pass-through window to the pool deck. A cozy den with wet bar and built-ins opens to the broad pool area, a sunny place for year round enjoyment with views overlooking the greenery of the canyon. Groovy mirrored hall bath, guest bedroom suite, and large utility laundry room complete the main level. Up the dramatic staircase, the primary suite occupies an entire wing of the upper level. Vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and a private balcony create a special daily retreat, complemented by a generous walk-in closet and five-piece bathroom with dual water closets. A false bookcase conceals nearly 400 square feet of additional carpeted storage. Two large bedrooms and a hall bathroom occupy the opposite wing, along with a private office featuring original wallpaper and built-ins. Beyond the pool and grassy side yard area, a staircase brings you through the garden to the large, lighted regulation sized tennis court with referee stand. On this lower level of the property, adjacent to the court's entrance is guest parking for up to 8 vehicles. A tremendous opportunity to revive and renew, minutes from the Beverly Hills Hotel.
