Greystone Mansion<br />
NEW!<br />
Come visit this gorgeous historical gem in Beverly Hills. Greystone<br />
Mansion, and its beautiful surrounding grounds, are rich in<br />
California history. Edward Laurence Doheny was among the first<br />
adventurers to strike oil in Los Angeles. His only son, Edward “Ned”<br />
Laurence Doheny, Jr., grew up as heir to one of the world’s great<br />
financial empires. In 1926 Edward Sr. gave this premium 12.58 acre<br />
parcel to his son as a wedding gift. The estate took three years to<br />
complete, at a cost of more than $3 million, an almost unimaginable<br />
sum in real estate at the time.<br />
There are fifty-five livable rooms within the 46,054 square feet of<br />
living space in the Mansion. The rooms with southern exposure<br />
offer a panoramic view of the Los Angeles Basin, from downtown<br />
to the beaches of Santa Monica Bay. The north (recreation) wing<br />
includes a movie theater room, an original Brunswick bowling<br />
alley, billiard room and a hidden bar. Also located on the grounds<br />
are stables and kennels, tennis courts, fire station, gatehouse,<br />
swimming pool and pavilion, greenhouse, lake, babbling brooks<br />
and cascading waterfalls.<br />
For your safety, we recommend that you wear flat, closed toe<br />
shoes while on the tour. The grounds are hilly with lots of stairs.<br />
It is not handicap accessible.<br />
