The Leonard Estate stands as the most important legacy property on the Westside - an extraordinary Italian villa of rare scale and pedigree, available once in a generation. Envisioned by world-renowned architect Richard Landry, this Florentine-inspired masterpiece was crafted with only the finest materials and exudes timeless elegance. Perched on nearly two acres of expansive, park-like grounds within the prestigious Palisades Riviera, the estate is hidden behind double gates, towering hedges, and a long private driveway, ensuring complete privacy and security. The ivy-clad facade opens to a grand motor court and sets the stage for over 16,700 square feet of exquisitely designed interiors. Vaulted ceilings, generous proportions, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow create a setting that is equally suited for intimate living or entertaining on a grand scale. The main residence features a dramatic two-story family room, a refined formal living room and dining room, a solarium, a gourmet kitchen with professional appliances and center island, and multiple wings devoted to leisure and entertaining, including a screening room, media room, and gym. There are seven bedrooms in total, with the primary suite serving as a private retreat offering a fireplace, spa-like bath, dressing rooms, and a terrace overlooking breathtaking ocean, canyon, and mountain views. The grounds are a world unto themselves: a sun-drenched oval pool and spa, lit tennis court with viewing pavilion, rolling lawns, meadow, putting green, and lush gardens framed by mature trees. A full two-story guesthouse adjacent to the pool includes a kitchen and guest accommodations, ideal for hosting visitors or poolside gatherings. The Leonard Estate is a true world-class residence that combines European romance with modern luxury, offering both sumptuous and serene living on one of the Riviera's most coveted streets.
