About 685 Elkins Road
Shielded from the world by stately hedges and private gates, 685 Elkins Road is a rare example of 1930s Georgian architecture thoughtfully reimagined for the modern era. The residence carries the effortless grace of its former inhabitants, Audrey Hepburn and Deborah Kerr, while functioning as a luxurious contemporary compound. Featuring five bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms, most with en-suite accommodations, the home balances comfort and privacy with elegant design. Interiors showcase soaring ceilings, grand symmetry, a private study, a spacious chef's kitchen, and a lower-level media room, creating a seamless mix of refined living and everyday functionality. A covered front lanai introduces indoor-outdoor living, overlooking manicured gardens, expansive lawns, and a private putting green that create a sense of arrival seldom found in Brentwood. Behind the home, the grounds open to a serene pool and a lush, wooded hillside, offering a tranquil and secluded retreat. Ideally located just a short distance from Brentwood's Country Mart, as well as nearby shops, restaurants, cafes and top-tier public and private schools, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Brentwood's most storied and private legacy estates.
