Description

The Johnny Hyde Estate. A timeless reflection of Hollywood's Golden Age, where prestige, glamour, and architectural excellence converge in one of the most coveted homes in the Beverly Hills Flats. Named after Johnny Hyde, the legendary talent agent who discovered and launched the career of Marilyn Monroe, this estate is more than a home, it is a cornerstone of cinematic history. Within these walls, Marilyn Monroe found refuge, transformation, and the path to becoming the most iconic star of all time. It was here that her journey from aspiring actress to Hollywood legend truly began, making this estate an irreplaceable part of her legacy. Set on an extraordinary nearly 29,000 square foot flat lot, this Paul Williams-inspired masterpiece, built in 1941, embodies grace, elegance, and enduring sophistication. With 5 flawless bedrooms of the original 6-7 which have all been re-purposed, 6 bathrooms, and nearly 6,000 square feet of stunning interiors, the residence allows for both grand-scale entertaining and effortless everyday living. A dramatic entryway with a sweeping staircase sets the tone, leading to expansive formal living and dining rooms flooded with natural light. A chef's kitchen and breakfast room, an elevator, an upstairs kitchenette, and ample storage make the estate as functional as it is breathtaking. On the second floor, the primary retreat features en-suite his and her bathrooms, a study and a kitchenette with a large walk-in closet (formerly a bedroom). The children's quarters have a separate staircase and two Jack-and-Jill bathrooms. The backyard is truly one of a kind, an expansive, private retreat, a rarity in Beverly Hills. Lush, manicured grounds stretch endlessly, creating a setting reminiscent of a private European estate. The spacious backyard features mature landscaping, a perfectly situated pool, a modern pool house pavilion replete with a bathroom and storage, and a large, heated and covered patio perfect for al fresco dining. There is plenty of room for a pickle ball court, an accessory dwelling unit or other additions without interrupting the character of the backyard. This was Marilyn Monroe's sanctuary, a place where she could escape, dream, and become the legend the world would soon adore. A three-car garage and large, gated carport add to the estate's exceptional functionality, while renderings and floor plans by renowned architect William Hefner and Associates offer the opportunity to reimagine the home encompassing a 4,000 square foot addition to the first and second floors and a detached dwelling unit with two bedrooms and a gym with access from the alley. Located just moments from the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel and across the street from the renowned Simon Cowell estate, this estate is the pinnacle of prestige and rarity. A property of this magnitude, with its unmatched provenance, breathtaking scale, and architectural significance, is truly a once-in-a-lifetime offering. The Johnny Hyde Estate is more than just a home it is where history was made, where a star was born, and where Hollywood's most enduring legend took shape.
