La Baroque

Where to start with a home like this? A classical French chateau set in Beverley Hills, with plenty of space both indoors and out, it's practically dripping in opulence. We'll start with the incredible dual staircase, perfectly suited to making a proper Hollywood entrance to any evening soiree (or perhaps a romantic wedding?). Packed with imposing features like ornate ceilings, tall windows, chandeliers and fireplaces, the home has been modernised to bring it into the 21st century with a colour scheme of whites and dark greys, designer furnishings and contemporary styling. Formal entertaining space comes in the form of grand reception rooms, a dining room and a wet bar that opens to the terrace, while a comfy home cinema and outdoor lounge areas make for casual places to hang out as a family or group of friends. There's a beautiful pool and hot tub, surrounded by lush planting, and we particularly love the first floor's spacious terrace with its verdant views. The master suite is the height of luxury, with a lounge and fireplace, and a gorgeous bathroom with a sauna, steam shower and walk-in wardrobe, while all the bedrooms benefit from private en-suites. Elsewhere in the home, there's a gym and a wine cellar, along with a garage if you're bringing your classic car with you. From here it's just an eight-minute drive to Rodeo Drive, with all sorts of fine dining and world-class shopping options nearby.
