Welcome to a unique piece of Bel Air history. Originally built by the renowned Rizzoli family, famous for their luxury publishing empire, this estate exemplifies the high-quality woodwork their stores are known for. Set on 3.3 acres behind private gates, this sanctuary offers unparalleled privacy, a prime location just blocks from the iconic Hotel Bel Air, with breathtaking unobstructed views. While the property retains its original charm, every corner is in working order, offering endless opportunities to elevate and modernize. Hidden from the street below, this private oasis spans 8 Bd and 9 Ba, featuring lush grounds, a tennis court with rare, grandfathered lighting, a basketball hoop, sparkling pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, luxurious sauna, steam room, a fruit orchard, hiking paths, and even a charming chicken coop.The layout is brilliantly conceived: three en-suite bedrooms, plus a built-in mother-in-law apartment with separate entrance, grace the top floor. The bedrooms are very generously sized, each with an en-suite bathroom and large walk-in closet. The primary suite is a true sanctuary with breathtaking views in three directions, massive dual bathroom, and an exceptional sauna. The suite's closet is equally impressive, offering unmatched space and functionality, basically two closets in one with a safe bolted to the home's structure and a laundry chute.Also on the top floor are two large balconies with amazing views, one with a stand-alone jacuzzi. The main floor sports a vaulted wood-paneled living room, library, large entertainer's bar, butler's pantry, cook's kitchen, and three additional bedrooms, currently configured as two bedrooms and a corner office. Built-in cabinets provide huge amounts of storage throughout.The lower floor boasts two additional bedrooms, two large storage closets, a huge multi-purpose room with another wet bar, pool access, billiards, and a state-of-the-art Dolby 7.1 home theater with automatic black-out security shutters, as well as a fully attached three-car garage with an elevator that leads to the main floor.Security and health are foremost, with a hospital-quality IQ air filtration system throughout, solar panels and Tesla powerwalls that allow seamless continuous power, and an alarm system with low-cost armed 24-hour Bel-Air Patrol. At the end of a private cul-de-sac, the property, including the pool with its city vista, is far from the street and virtually invisible from the road below.Just minutes from Westwood Village, Beverly Hills, and the 405 freeway, this is a rare opportunity to live in a quiet, secluded retreat without a long drive to urban Los Angeles. Endless opportunities to elevate and modernize this iconic property await you.
