The 1920′s are often referred to as the Golden Age of Hollywood. This swank mansion, built by Columbia Pictures founder Harry Cohn, features a lot of gold and decorative elements characteristic of the roaring 20s and the excessive styles that accompanied it.
Located at 716 North Palm Drive in Beverly Hills, it is listed for $8,995,000 by Coldwell Banker Previews International. This luxurious palace features four bedroom suites, recessed ceilings, decorative molding and colorful tiles.
Unlike most mansions built in the 1920s this rare property still possesses most of its original features. While updates have been made to some appliances, the kitchen for instance, still showcases a 1940s Frigidaire icebox, a Western Holly six-burner stove, and colorfully tiled counters and walls.
The master suite is an expansive octagonal space adorned with a gold-domed, frescoed ceiling and has a private office and rooftop terrace. Through all of this grandeur, the most original room is the speakeasy which has a wooden bar covered by a fabric awning and a small stage.
The unique aspects of this 1920s Beverly Hills mansion are rare, unusual and available to a select few with an appreciation for bold and unreserved luxury.
