Ronald Reagan, Frank Sinatra, and a little mid-century magic —
this Beverly Hills estate has seen it all.
Tucked away in the Beverly Hills Gateway, this estate is pure Old Hollywood magic.
Built in 1959 for MGM producer Armand Deutsch, it became a favorite hangout for the icons of the time — Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Stewart, even the Annenbergs.
One of President Reagan’s inauguration celebrations was hosted right here, and rumor has it there is till Secret Service tape in the attic.
The property spans over one-and-a-half acres near Coldwater Canyon and includes four separate structures — the main house, a gatehouse, staff quarters, and a guest and screening house called The Whim House.
It’s gated, private, and surrounded by lush greenery — a rare Beverly Hills compound that feels both grand and tucked away.
The home is six bedrooms, ten baths, and is nearly 7,600 square feet.
The Whim House got its name back in the ’70s when architect William R. Stephenson designed it on a whim — literally — and it ended up being one of the coolest additions to the property.
Inside, the main house has that classic mid-century warmth — travertine floors, wood details, and walls of glass that open to the gardens. There’s a cozy den, a bar room, formal dining, a chef’s kitchen, an office, and a spacious primary suite.
Outside, you’ll find a solar-heated pool, a fire-pit lounge, and a treetop gazebo surrounded by mature landscaping.
With over $4 million in updates, this Beverly Hills landmark blends timeless mid-century design with modern comfort.
The kind of place you don’t find twice — offered at $19,995,000.
