Once the storied Beverly Hills estate of Hollywood legend James Cagney, this rare and formerly celebrity-owned gated compound presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a historic luxury estate in Beverly Hills 90210. Tucked privately beneath Franklin Canyon Nature Reserve, this expansive multi-residence Beverly Hills compound spans more than five acres of secured gated grounds, offering an unheard-of combination of acreage, provenance, and seclusion. Extensively renovated, updated and restored over many years, the private gated estate unfolds as a village-like enclave with multiple residences connected by hand-laid stone pathways winding through tiered citrus gardens, sculptural courtyards, candle-carved stone walls, and museum-quality European statuary. Mature landscaping and curated outdoor rooms create a timeless environment ideal for both intimate living and large-scale entertaining. The main villa is a romantic architectural centerpiece featuring reclaimed European terracotta roof tiles, exposed trussed-beam cathedral ceilings, leaded glass windows, and multiple restored original fireplaces. Designed for seamless entertaining, the home flows effortlessly from wine cellar and butler's pantry to formal dining and elegant yet warm living rooms, evoking timeless character. This residence offers two primary bedroom suites with couture-scale closets and a grand ensuite bath with a copper soaking tub, double vanities, step in shower for two, while an additional guest bedroom features luxurious cedar closet dressing room and en suite bath. Additional structural assets across the estate compound include a secluded guest residence known as "The Boathouse," with wood floors and trussed beams of antique 19th Century reclaimed French Oak complete with its own private gated drive and porte-cochre, ideal as an event venue, creative retreat, or production studio. A separate multipurpose creative studio, auto garages, and a separate detached guest ADU provide multiple self-contained living environments, making this multi-generational Beverly Hills estate uniquely versatile. Other features and amenities include separate regulation tennis and pickleball courts with grandfathered night lighting, a tennis spectator pavilion with wet bar, a glass-tile swimming pool and spa with poolside cabana and outdoor dining bistro, plus two fully equipped outdoor chef's kitchens. Expansive flat lawns and play fields offer rare recreational space within the hills above Sunset Boulevard. A true trophy property, the former James Cagney Estate stands as a legacy Beverly Hills estate where architecture, landscape, and artistry converge, perfectly suited for multigenerational living, artists-in-residence, or those seeking an irreplaceable Hollywood history estate in one of Los Angeles' most exclusive enclaves.
