Much like plush, elegant décor and a cosy ambience, a house’s prowess for entertaining is considered by many as part and parcel of a true family home. For Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine’s palatial mansion nestled within an exclusive gated stretch of Beverly Hills, this certainly rings true.
Built in 1933, it is not hard to imagine the 3-storey, 5-bedroom estate recently put on the market for US$47.5m as a gathering ground for Levine, his model wife Behati Prinsloo and their throngs of A-lister acquaintances. The traditional-style brick-roofed, vine-trailed property, having recently undergone extensive renovations worth US$7 million, offers up plenty of state-of-the-art features that are sure to impress even the most discerning guests.
A towering double-height foyer with an overall classic, creamy-white palette makes an impression as it leads guests into a grand 50-foot living area replete with a TV-surmounted fireplace centrepiece. Steps away sit a dining hall that seats 12 and a wet bar that looks out to verdant greenery in the garden—setting the stage for many an al fresco evening with friends.
No entertaining is complete without a scrumptious meal, and among the home's highlights is a duo of newly remodelled stainless steel-decked kitchens, equipped with long marble-topped centre islands, beautifully appointed wood cabinets and even an outdoor pizza oven.
As much a suave playground as a lush family respite, the estate comes with sizable bedrooms including the 2,000sqft master suite that occupies its own unique wing on the upper floor.
The massive chamber, with its own compartmentalized marble-clad bathroom and covetable custom-fitted dressing rooms, looks out to a spacious, sun-drenched terrace.
Other impressive features include a cutting-edge home theatre and a fully-equipped gym. All that is complemented by one acre of expansive outdoor grounds for friends and family to gather, whether it be around the beautiful outdoor pool and barbequing area nuzzled within a tapestry of lush greenery or the rolling manicured lawns, tennis court or putting green.
