About this home

The Carson Estate. Formerly the cherished sanctuary of Johnny and Joanna Carson, this legendary residence is situated on approximately 1.5 acres of verdant grounds in the heart of ultra-prime East Gate Bel Air. Secured by private gates and a dedicated security booth, an expansive motor court provides an impressive sense of arrival, complemented by two spacious garages. Classic and elegant, the home exudes timeless sophistication defined by magnificent scale, high ceilings, and bespoke details and craftsmanship. An airy foyer transitions into a magnificent great room with a wet bar, while the formal dining area and generous family room capture serene vistas of the lush surroundings. Pocket doors disappear throughout the home to facilitate a quintessential California lifestyle, anchored by a stately loggia with classical pillars that traces the rear of the residence. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with a central island and cozy breakfast nook, while a distinguished den replete with character features rich wood paneling and custom built-ins. Entered via a striking rotunda, the palatial primary retreat is a haven of luxury, boasting dual bathrooms and walk-in closets, while a detached two-story guest house provides additional versatility with a home office and a lower-level ideal for a fitness studio. Also featured at the property is a sizable basement area providing ample storage and a wine cellar. The exterior is a meticulously curated resort-style oasis, where manicured lawns and a tiered fountain lead to a signature oval swimming pool, a sprawling sun deck, and an elegant cabana. This legendary estate is completed by a championship lighted tennis court, uniquely supported by its own pavilion with a covered seating area, kitchenette, and dedicated powder room. A truly iconic luxury property ensconced within a private, park-like environment in one of the world's most coveted locations.
