A Classic 1928 Spanish Estate in Beverly Hills Gets Reimagined for Modern Luxury

Casa Estrella – it literally means "star house" in English – a name that feels particularly fitting for this dazzling transitional Spanish architectural nestled on a coveted street in Beverly Hills.

Thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary luxury living, the 1928 estate is shrouded in privacy behind imposing gates, boasting an impressive 10,000 square feet across six bedrooms and nine bathrooms.  "The residence has extraordinary Hollywood history and provenance," says listing agent Jade Mills of Coldwell Banker Realty in Beverly Hills of the $21.75 million manse.

Beyond its Hollywood pedigree, Casa Estrella offers a blend of meticulously restored original features and ultra-high-end modern details. Stepping inside, one is immediately struck by the home's bright and airy ambience, a testament to its remarkable scale and character. Beamed ceilings, an iron-railed staircase, four fireplaces (including a classic wood-burning fireplace in the living room), an exquisite wood-paneled office and Italian white-oak flooring throughout, stand as timeless testaments to the home's traditional qualities. These rich touches are juxtaposed with clean, modern lines, creating a space that feels open and welcoming.

Functionality and flow reign supreme at Casa Estrella. A stunning floating designer staircase gracefully connects the home's three levels. The first floor boasts a formal living room, dining room, office/library, a family room, and the heart of the home, a chef's kitchen. Curated with quartzite Perla leather stone and top-of-the-line Wolf appliances, this culinary haven seamlessly transitions to the lush exterior grounds through expansive, floor-to-ceiling doors that pocket away, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living.

Ascending to the second level, one finds four spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Some bedrooms even have balconies, including the expansive primary suite. This impeccably styled retreat is a study in modern-day luxury and privacy with dual bathrooms and closets. One sun-drenched bathroom features luxurious Cristallo Amber Lux porcelain, perfect for a long, indulgent soak. The second en-suite bathroom, with its moody black fantasy leather quartzite and a fabulous steam shower, offers a more dramatic counterpoint. Both bathrooms provide the ultimate spa-like experience, while the expansive windows bathe the primary suite in natural light and frame captivating city views.

The home's sun-lit lower level is dedicated to entertainment and self-care. An additional bedroom with bathroom, a state-of-the-art theatre, a gym, a sauna, a cold plunge, a well-stocked bar, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar provide an abundance of options for relaxation and hosting unforgettable gatherings.

Stepping outside, the manicured grounds offer a true oasis. A large pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen with dining area, multiple fire-pit adorned sitting areas, and a sprawling grassy knoll create a haven for outdoor living and entertaining. Additional features like a charming guesthouse with separate entrance and a three-car garage with motor court able to park up to 12 cars solidify Casa Estrella's position as a true Beverly Hills masterpiece.
