712 N Arden Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

Property Description

Elegantly reimagined by award-winning designer Wendy Haworth (Felix Trattoria, Stella, Gracias Madre), this Hamptons-inspired estate with a sought after guest house occupies the premiere mid-block position on the coveted 700 block of Arden Drive -- widely regarded as the best block on the best street in the Beverly Hills Flats. Thoughtfully composed and beautifully balanced, the home embodies a rare harmony of scale, light, and openness designed to support ease, happiness, and everyday living at its highest level. From the moment you enter, the house reveals a quiet confidence and genuine soul. Gracious, warm, and timeless, it is neither trendy, nor speculative, but deeply considered classic elegance combined with consummate livability. Natural light pours through the interiors, and the home's intuitive flow reflects a subtle but powerful sense of feng shui: rooms open effortlessly to one another and outward to the garden, creating a feeling of calm, connection, and balance throughout. The main level unfolds with intention. A beautifully appointed gourmet eat-in kitchen anchors the home, while the vaulted-ceiling dining room elevates everyday meals into moments of occasion. The wood-beamed living room, expansive family room with its sunken bar, and the elegant leather-trimmed library are thoughtfully interconnected to invite conversation, retreat, and togetherness. Nearly every principal room opens seamlessly to the backyard, reinforcing a true indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The primary suite, ideally located on the main level for a true single-story living experience, is a sanctuary unto itself. Vaulted, beamed ceilings, a romantic fireplace, dual baths, and dual walk-in closets create a retreat that feels both luxurious and restorative. Perfectly scaled, never excessive.A large functional office and a beautifully curated guest suite complete the main level.Upstairs, two guest bedrooms and a lounge/playroom provide flexible space for children, guests, or creative pursuits. A lower level offers an intimate, top notch, full Dolby surround sound home theater, recreation area and dual wardrobe/glam rooms. Outdoors, the property transforms into a magical, expansive, resort-like environment reminiscent of San Ysidro Ranch (a rare and welcomed pairing with the sophistication of Beverly Hills). Set on nearly half an acre and exquisitely landscaped by acclaimed landscape-architect-to-the-stars Scott Schrader, the grounds feature meandering paths, flowering gardens, lemon trees, and a sweeping lawn that invites barefoot afternoons and family play. While the large sparkling pool, inviting spa, and spacious garden dining area (with its dinner-for-14 table) are each stars in their own right, at the heart of the outdoor experience is the spectacular covered pavilion, with its dramatic wood-burning fireplace. Together, these revered elements invite and nurture long, al fresco meals, celebrations, and gatherings that stretch effortlessly from day into night. This is where the home truly comes alive: birthdays, holidays, quiet mornings, and unforgettable evenings shared together. The high-design guest house -- sumptuous, private, and impeccably finished -- is prized by all who are lucky enough to experience it, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, and undeniable appeal. Impeccably maintained and in move-in condition, the property offers everything you need. Every space flows, every element has purpose, and every detail supports a life well lived. Enviably located on the eastern side of the Beverly Hills Flats, the home is just moments from the world-class shopping, dining, culture, and nightlife of both Beverly Hills and West Hollywood. Truly a rare offering defined by intangible qualities that cannot be replicated.
