About This Home

Welcome to 12220 Benmore Terrace, an artfully updated mid-century home situated north of Sunset at the end of a long private driveway, behind gates in the lush hills of Brentwood Heights. Designed by the acclaimed architect A. Quincy Jones, this residence embodies elegance and sophistication. Spanning 4,400 sq ft, the home offers five spacious bedrooms and five luxurious bathrooms, plus a large separate guest house, with its own kitchenette and bathroom, all newly renovated with designer finishes throughout. High-end amenities, such as a La Cornue range and Sub-Zero refrigerator, enhance the gourmet kitchen, which flows into the beautifully appointed living room with accordion doors that open to a sun-drenched patio. The primary suite features a gorgeous spa bath adorned with European tiles and fixtures. A large second bedroom with its own bath and a third en-suite bedroom complete the upper level. Downstairs, you'll find a separate three-bedroom, three-bath wing with its own family room and kitchenette, opening to the verdant yard and deck, surrounded by mature, lush gardens. Parking for 4 cars comes with an electric car charger, while fully owned solar panels provide ample power to dramatically reduce the electric bill. Nestled on a sprawling quarter-acre lot, this secluded oasis presents a unique opportunity for someone seeking complete privacy and tranquility in a convenient Brentwood location, just minutes from schools, shops, and restaurants.
