Architectural Icon in Beverly Hills: A Robert Skinner Masterpiece with Tennis Court, Pool & Timeless Mid-Century Design

In the golden heart of Beverly Hills, where architectural pedigree meets modern luxury, a true gem has emerged on the market. 1005 Elden Way—a masterwork of mid-century modern design by legendary architect Robert Skinner, AIA—offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a residence of both architectural significance and timeless sophistication.

Set behind gates on a quiet cul-de-sac just above the world-famous Beverly Hills Hotel and beside the historic Virginia Robinson Gardens, this reimagined estate spans nearly ¾ of an acre of lush, manicured grounds. With its bold design, iconic rooflines, and seamless integration of indoor-outdoor living, this home exemplifies the best of California modernism.

Timeless Architecture, Reimagined for Today
Robert Skinner’s signature is felt throughout the residence—clean lines, natural textures, and soaring proportions. Yet the home has been thoughtfully updated to reflect contemporary luxury, featuring the finest materials, smart-home technology, and bespoke finishes that honor the original vision while elevating it for the 21st century.

The main living spaces are bathed in natural light, courtesy of dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass walls that frame verdant treetop and garden views. Soaring 22-foot ceilings, a sculptural copper fireplace, and open-plan living spaces create an atmosphere of refined volume and warmth.

Luxury Amenities That Define California Living
Outdoors, the estate transforms into a resort-style oasis. Anchoring the grounds is a rare north-south regulation tennis court—an amenity few Beverly Hills homes can claim. The adjacent pool and spa offer the perfect setting for both serene relaxation and stylish entertaining, surrounded by expansive stone terraces, fire features, and mature landscaping that provides total privacy.

Additional amenities include:

5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms
Gourmet chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry and high-end appliances
Multiple living and entertaining spaces, both formal and casual
Lush gardens, tranquil water features, and private lounge areas
Gated motor court and 3-car garage
Smart home integration throughout
A Trophy Estate in an Unmatched Location
This extraordinary property is more than just a home—it is a trophy estate that encapsulates the best of Beverly Hills luxury real estate. Its architectural legacy, combined with its serene setting and entertainer’s amenities, make it a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition for the discerning buyer.

Offered at $19,995,000, 1005 Elden Way is exclusively listed by Christophe Choo, one of the most trusted and recognized names in high-end Los Angeles real estate. With a reputation for excellence and a global clientele, Christophe presents this estate as a rare opportunity to own a true design legacy in the most prestigious ZIP code in the world.
