Property Description

Extremely rare and exceptionally private, this commanding California Mediterranean residence occupies a coveted ridgetop position in the prestigious Beverly Hills Post office neighborhood on Briarcrest Road, within an exclusive gated street of fewer than 20 homes just above the iconic Bird Streets and Wonderland neighborhoods. Set behind mature hedges and a grand arched wooden gate, the nearly one-acre property captures breathtaking, unobstructed views stretching across the surrounding canyons and Los Angeles skyline to Downtown, Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood Sign, and the distant San Bernardino Mountains. Once owned by Lakers legend Elgin Baylor, the residence offers an extraordinary combination of privacy, scale, architectural character, and panoramic beauty. A landscaped courtyard garden and lawn create a gracious sense of arrival before double entry doors open to a dramatic foyer with polished travertine floors, a statement chandelier, and a soaring 17-foot vaulted ceiling. Beyond the entry, a sitting area immediately frames the expansive city views, while an entertainer's wet bar introduces the formal living room. Designed with both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining in mind, this impressive space features a double-height vaulted ceiling, an ornate cast-stone fireplace with marble hearth, and French doors opening in two directions: one toward a peaceful courtyard patio and the other to an approximately 300-square-foot balcony showcasing head-on canyon, skyline, and mountain views. The main entertaining level also includes a formal dining room with a 15-foot ceiling and space for a 12-seat dining table. The open-concept family room is distinguished by its own vaulted ceiling, custom millwork wall, fireplace, and seamless connection to the warm Mediterranean-style kitchen. Anchored by a substantial marble island with seating for approximately eight, the kitchen features Thermador appliances, generous cabinetry, and a butler's pantry with an additional refrigerator. French doors lead directly to a large balcony ideal for alfresco breakfasts, outdoor dining, and evenings overlooking the city lights. Positioned on its own private level, the spacious primary suite serves as a secluded retreat with a lounge area, covered balcony, and uninterrupted canyon and skyline views. The primary bathroom offers a large shower and private dry sauna while presenting an opportunity for a future owner to personalize the space to their individual vision.
