Description

Tucked behind Bel-Air’s coveted East Gate, Rosewood is an extraordinary Georgian residence designed by acclaimed architect Richard Manion. Set on 1.51 acres of meticulously manicured grounds, the estate offers roughly 23,000 square feet of classic, refined living space. A gated circular drive leads to an impressive red-brick exterior, accented with limestone, traditional columns, custom moldings and elegant blue shutters. Stepping inside, guests are greeted by a dramatic foyer crowned with an oval skylight dome that casts natural light across the black-and-white marble floors and a sweeping spiral staircase. The formal living and dining rooms showcase soaring ceilings, detailed millwork, marble fireplaces, and expansive French doors that frame views of the surrounding gardens. A custom mahogany office with coffered ceilings provides an elegant private workspace. The gourmet chef’s kitchen is equipped with marble surfaces, bespoke cabinetry, high-end appliances, a striking central island, and a full butler’s pantry. It opens seamlessly to relaxed living and dining areas that spill onto a wraparound terrace perfect for hosting. Upstairs, the primary suite features a private sitting room, terrace access, fireplace, dual marble bathrooms, and generous walk-in closets. Four additional guest suites complete the level. The lower level is dedicated to entertainment and wellness, offering a guest suite, gym, massage room, wine cellar, secondary kitchen, and a remarkable oak-paneled ballroom with a stage and bar capable of accommodating up to 120 guests. The outdoor spaces evoke the feel of a private resort, complete with a North/South championship tennis court, pool and spa, fountains, gazebo, conservatory, treehouse, expansive lawns, and multiple al fresco entertaining areas equipped with a built-in bar and BBQ. Beneath it all, a showroom-style level provides parking for up to 12 cars, a nostalgic soda fountain diner, staff quarters, elevator access, enhanced security systems, and significant storage. Rosewood stands as a rare chance to live in a true landmark estate in one of LA’s most esteemed neighborhoods.
