This paragon of traditional architecture is nestled privately behind mature hedges and a gate on a flat, half-acre in the heart of the prestigious flats of Beverly Hills. The estate has been newly curated and furnished under the masterful guidance of designer Michael S. Smith, following his transformation of the White House's private residence. The entry makes an unforgettable statement with hand-painted chalky-stri walls by Maria Trimbell, custom bronze sconces by French sculptor Patrice Dangel, and a sweeping iron staircase adorned with a silk-and-wool runner by Patterson Flynn. In the formal living room, Venetian plaster walls and a Calacatta Viola marble fireplace by Jamb London create an atmosphere of quiet opulence. The dining room stuns with hand-painted Gracie wallpaper and a 19th-century Spanish crystal chandelier. The gourmet chef's kitchen is a study in refined craftsmanship, decorated by Calacatta marble countertops, and state-of-the-art appliances, ensuring peak culinary performance. A large central island offers both ample work and gathering spaces. Thoughtfully situated adjacent to the kitchen, the den duals as a screening room, punctuated by custom walnut paneling, a hand-carved limestone fireplace, and bespoke millwork. The lushly landscaped grounds create a private oasis, featuring a resort-style pool and spa, surrounded by manicured gardens and mature hedging. A detached guest house/gym adds versatility, while multiple outdoor seating areas, a shaded loggia, and elegant hardscaping set the stage for alfresco entertaining. The primary suite is a serene retreat, highlighted by a private sitting room, dry sauna, fireplace, and a private terrace. Dual spa-inspired bathrooms are equipped with Waterworks fixtures, radiant heated floors, and expansive closets with custom dressing rooms. Designed for both relaxation and hosting, 610 North Canon represents a confluence of timeless elegance with contemporary sophistication. This one-of-one trophy property is situated only moments from the world class dining, shopping, hotels, and attractions only downtown Beverly Hills living has to offer.
