Property Description
Presenting a once-in-a-generation offering: the former residence of screen legends Deborah Kerr and Audrey Hepburn. 685 Elkins Road is steeped in classic Hollywood history and timeless elegance. Tucked behind a private gate in one of Brentwood's most prestigious neighborhoods and nestled beside Brentwood Park, this stunning traditional-style home is the crown jewel of Elkins Road. Set on an expansive 31,163 SQFT lot with manicured grounds, rose gardens, and mature hedging, this 6,099 SQFT estate offers 5 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, and a refined blend of classic design and thoughtful modern updates all while staying true to the Traditional Georgian style. A covered Lanai reminiscent of Southern architecture welcomes you into the home and doubles as an elegant outdoor entertaining space, complete with a fireplace, built-in ceiling heaters, and views of the sprawling front lawn and putting green. The main level is anchored by a grand formal foyer that opens to a spacious formal living room with seamless access to the front lanai, perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. Soaring 10 1/2-foot ceilings construct volume and scale in every room. A richly detailed formal dining room, adorned with hand-painted Gracie wallpaper, sets the stage for refined gatherings. The conservatory, with custom millwork, provides a space for conversation or cocktails. A chef's kitchen with stainless steel appliances and sun-drenched garden-view windows, adjacent to a separate guest wing, and a traditional library complete the main floor. The upper level features a generously proportioned primary suite, appointed with two separate, spa-inspired bathrooms and expansive walk-in closets adorned with elegant vanities. This level also includes two en-suite guest bedrooms; one showcasing a stately fireplace. The other offering sweeping views of the manicured front lawn. Just off the primary suite, upper landing, and front guest suite lies a distinctive, full-length balcony that graces the home's front facade - a serene vantage point overlooking the expansive emerald-green lawn, perfect for morning coffee or sunset aperitifs. The lower level offers a family room, ample storage, and another private guest suite ideal for guests or staff accommodations. On the east-facing side of the home, a sparkling swimming pool is surrounded by mature landscaping and tranquil privacy. Below the pool, the grounds slope gently into a lush, tree-lined retreat with winding trails that descend to the street below a unique and rarely found natural feature in Brentwood. Additional highlights include an oversized two-car garage, multi-zone heating and cooling, and a hot water recirculation system. Offered for the first time in 34 years, 685 Elkins Road is more than just an estate-it is a legacy property of uncommon pedigree, elegance, and charm.
