"Beverly Hills remains the best international brand you can find, so we built here. I like the anonymity of the house, which is not noticed from the street. The Gondas have hosted charity events for as many as 300 guests, using a spacious back veranda that opens onto landscaped grounds with willow, eucalyptus and maple trees, flower gardens, a koi pond and entertainment areas."
"A commercial kitchen with two center islands has an adjoining butler's pantry with warming ovens, a security-access silverware and china room and a chef's office. A gift-wrapping room, staff offices, laundry room and major-domo accommodations, which include a bedroom, sitting room, bathroom and walk-in closet, complete the main floor."
"A curved staircase leads up to the master suite and seven bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The master bedroom, with a fireplace and multiple seating areas, opens to a balcony patio. One of the bathrooms includes a steam shower, a walk-in closet and dressing area and small kitchenette."
Investment executive Louis Gonda and his wife Kelly built a Georgian mansion in Beverly Hills in 1991, selecting the location for its international prestige and resale value. Designed by architect Peter Choate on 1.5 acres above the Beverly Hills Hotel, the gated brick home prioritizes privacy while accommodating a large family and staff. The property includes extensive entertaining spaces with a back veranda overlooking landscaped grounds featuring gardens, a koi pond, and entertainment areas. The main floor contains formal living areas, a commercial kitchen with butler's pantry, gift-wrapping room, and major-domo accommodations. The upper level houses a master suite and seven additional bedrooms, each with private bathrooms featuring luxury amenities including steam showers, walk-in closets, and specialized fixtures.
