Beverly Hills, California, United States

Guest House | Entire Home
Available Dates:
From August 4, 2026 until May 1, 2027

Description

This property has been in my family since my father bought the house in 1941. The main house is a Craftsman, built in 1913, and was once home to Joe Kennedy. The location just 900 feet away from the Beverly Hills Hotel. We offer Old World charm with an uplifting ambiance: large windows, light filled rooms, hardwood floors and a compact but full service kitchen. The style is functional and simple. The bedroom flows into a sitting room with floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the garden. Originally a two bedroom, walls have been knocked out to open the space. The living room area is large and open and at night two single beds convert the space into a second bedroom. Comfortable for a couple with 1 child. The balcony looks out over mature eucalyptus trees and a field displaying lavender. Swim in the estate's saltwater pool open from May – September.
