About this home
Nestled within the prestigious Beverly Hills Gateway, 1117 N Beverly Drive stands as a testament to Hollywood's golden era and architectural brilliance. Spanning 1.5 acres, this estate encompasses approximately 7,594 square feet across four meticulously designed structures. The main residence, custom-designed in 1959 by architect George MacLean with interiors by Billy Haines, for MGM producer Armand Deutsch and his wife Harriet, showcases mid-century modern design at its finest. In 1972, renowned architect William Stephenson added the "Whim House," a guest and screening house whimsically named due to its spontaneous conception. Over the past two decades, the current owner has invested over $4 million in thoughtful renovations, including dual Fire A-rated roofs, updated HVAC and security systems, partial electrical and plumbing enhancements, and landscape revitalization. The Deutsch residence was more than a home; it was a social hub for luminaries such as Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Frank Sinatra, and the Annenbergs. Notably, one of President Reagan's inauguration celebrations was hosted here, with remnants of Secret Service security tape still present in the attic. Armand Deutsch, grandson of Sears CEO Julius Rosenwald, survived a near-miss with the infamous Leopold and Loeb case, an event that influenced the estate's emphasis on security, including a gatehouse and accommodations for live-in staff. The estate features a grant deed ensuring unobstructed southern exposure, preserving solar capabilities for the hillside-installed panels, which currently heat the pool but have the potential to power the entire property. Architectural plans by Lewis Schoeplein and Jim Olson of Olson Kundig offer avenues for future enhancements. A Certificate of Ineligibility, valid until August 14, 2026, provides flexibility for renovations without historical preservation constraints. 1117 N Beverly Drive is not merely a residence; it's a piece of cultural history, offering a unique blend of classic Hollywood charm and modern luxury. This estate presents an unparalleled opportunity to own a significant legendary landmark in Beverly Hills Proper.
