Beverly Hills, California 90210
Analysis of 2859 Coldwater Canyon Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90210 is currently available with a list price of $9,495,000. The property maintains a Poor Condition Rating (30/100), indicating the property requires renovation and updates to maximize its market potential. This presents opportunities for value-add investors. Located in a high-demand neighborhood within the Beverly Hills Unified School District, this asset is categorized as a low-risk, high-reward acquisition suitable for Experienced Investors and Fix-and-Flip Specialists.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1959, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'chance to restore' a legendary architectural estate, with 'plans available upon request.' This indicates it requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, rather than minor updates. The exterior images show a dated appearance, unkempt landscaping, a worn tennis court, and a boarded-up section, all consistent with a property needing significant work. The absence of interior photos, especially of the kitchen and bathrooms, strongly suggests these areas are in original or very outdated condition, requiring complete renovation. While the structure is deemed worthy of restoration, it is far from move-in ready and requires a major investment to bring it to modern living standards.
Perched on a private 2.9-acre promontory, the estate offers expansive, panoramic views of city lights, canyons, mountains, and trees, ensuring ultimate seclusion.
A storied estate, once home to a Hollywood legend and originally designed by architect William S. Beckett, providing significant historical and architectural value.
Comes with restoration plans by prestigious firms Woods + Dangaran and Olson Kundig, offering a clear vision for its future as an iconic architectural estate.
The property is presented as a 'chance to restore,' indicating it is not move-in ready and will require substantial investment and effort to complete the envisioned architectural restoration.

The 1959 build year, while historically significant, suggests potential for outdated infrastructure and systems that will need comprehensive upgrades during the restoration process.
