"Set behind gates and hedges, the Neoclassical villa-style opens to a marble-lined foyer anchored by a curving artistic staircase. Beyond the entry is a receiving room that opens to a living room with a fireplace. A library, an office, a formal dining room and a lower-level family room also lie within more than 10,000 square feet of refined living space."
"Elizabeth Keck, who died last year at 96, appeared in a handful of films in the late 1940s under the stage name Bettye Avery. Later in life, she was known as an ardent Francophile and collector of French tapestries, paintings and other rare antiquities."
"An additional two bedrooms are situated in the guest house, which sits across from the swimming pool. Spouting fountain features, reflection pools, lawn and specimen trees complete the manicured grounds."
A gated Holmby Hills mansion has sold for $20.75 million. The Neoclassical villa spans over 10,000 square feet and features a marble foyer with artistic staircase, living room with fireplace, library, office, formal dining room, and family room. The property includes six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and a master suite on the first floor opening to gardens. A separate guest house with two additional bedrooms sits near the swimming pool. The manicured grounds feature fountains, reflection pools, and specimen trees. Elizabeth Keck, the late owner who died at 96, acquired the property in 1991. She was a former actress and noted French art collector. The sale ranks among the highest recorded in the area this year.
