1126 Coldwater Canyon DR Beverly Hills, CA 90210

Located on nearly three-quarters of an acre in the heart of Beverly Hills, this tennis court estate has a Coldwater address but is easily accessible from Woodland Drive, just north of Lexington Road. This 1940's sprawling ranch is the archetype of "formal country" living with a hedged grassy front lawn, covered porches, rear patios and lush landscape with towering pines. Interior design elements include wide plank peg and groove floors, three fireplaces, a large, curved bay window, wood paneled walls and dark iron fixtures and hardware. With a floor plan designed for bustling activity and occupants of all ages (including the K-9 variety), the open family and dining areas are flooded with natural light, with large windows and doors that incorporate the rear yard. This homey space has a fireplace, classic wet bar, and above, a private loft that offers a little getaway close to the action. If you're into sleep overs, this will be a big draw! The country kitchen has a separate entry and charming Dutch door opening to a covered porch. There are four bedrooms, three off the central hall, and one on the kitchen side of the house, separated for live-in help and guests. One en-suite bedroom has a bathroom designed to also service the pool. The primary suite is stepped-up cozy, with a sitting area, fireplace, and two bathrooms with large wardrobes. The floor plan also includes a powder room near the entry and a versatile great room next to the tennis court, perfect for an office with a separate entry, pool house, game room, or gym. The property features a large swimming pool with a diving board (of course), spacious patio areas, and a full-size tennis court screaming fun. There is a large pad for parking for six cars, plus a carport for two additional cars. The home is minutes away from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Century City, and great public and private schools including Harvard-Westlake and Campbell Hall. If you want to nestle into the warmth of what a serene life in a busy, fast city can actually be, you have found the perfect home.
