525 Arkell Dr Beverly Hills, CA 90210

Set above its surroundings with remarkably little interruption to the view, this exceptional Trousdale estate captures sweeping panoramas from the city to the ocean while achieving a degree of privacy rarely found in the neighborhood. The result is an extraordinary sense of separation, an island above the rest, where expansive glass, terraces, gardens and skylights keep the landscape and horizon constantly in view. Inside, the experience is defined by thoughtful design rather than excess. European white oak floors run throughout, while a monumental 15-foot double-sided fireplace anchors the living and dining spaces and pocketing walls of glass open to the grounds. At the heart of the home, a 16-foot Italian marble island anchors a kitchen appointed with Miele and Gaggenau appliances, custom white oak cabinetry and a dedicated coffee center. A fully equipped butler's kitchen complements the main kitchen, alongside a temperature-controlled wine display, full bar and projector lounge. A private wellness suite incorporates a gym, built-in cold plunge, steam and dry saunas, handmade Moroccan tile and a serene Zen garden. A soundproof podcast studio, recessed theater screen with projector and independent guest suite reflect a level of consideration seldom achieved, even among homes of this caliber. Behind the scenes, KNX smart home technology, whole-home water filtration, instant hot water and air recirculation systems bring the same attention to detail to the way the home functions. Four generous en-suite bedrooms occupy the main level, leaving the upper floor entirely to the primary retreat. Here, an oak-paneled office, stone fireplace, private terrace, kitchenette and custom-designed closet accompany a spa-like bath with a built-in Onsen soaking tub, Porcelanosa sinks and CEA fixtures, all surrounded by elevated ocean and city views. From the gated motor court with parking for ten to the smallest daily conveniences, every element has been considered, not simply for how the home presents, but for how exceptionally it lives.
