It’s not every day a home linked to Hollywood royalty hits the market. But screen icon Cary Grant’s one-time Beverly Hills mansion has, and it could be yours for US$77.5 million (AU$119 million).
Perched atop a three-acre parcel with 180‑degree views spanning from the Pacific to the downtown skyline, 9966 Beverly Grove Dr reflects six years of meticulous renovation led by Grant’s former wife, Barbara Jaynes, and her then-husband, David Jaynes.
As a bit of backstory: it was originally under renovation when Grant met Jaynes in the 1970s. The property passed to Jaynes following Grant’s death in 1986. A decade and a half later, Jaynes married David Jaynes and embarked upon a full rebuild that resulted in this three‑level stunner.
Framed by a gated drive and custom steel‑framed doors, inside, you’ll find rare rift‑sawn white oak floors beneath floor-to-ceiling windows, while a limestone fireplace anchors the great room. Another highlight is the climate‑controlled wine room, with display shelving for 640 bottles serving both as a collector’s gallery and an architectural focal point.

Outside, over 7,200 square feet of terraces provide space for al fresco dining and lounging, all overlooking a 52‑foot pool, private tennis court, and manicured gardens. Additional amenities include multiple guest suites, a dedicated glam room, art studio, massage room, fully equipped gym, as well as an acoustically tuned Dolby Atmos theatre.
Rare in Beverly Hills for its undeniable provenance and state-of-the-art features, it offers privacy and palatial proportions in equal measure. Standing as a testament to the legacy of one of cinema’s greatest icons, 9966 Beverly Grove Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, is currently being managed by real estate agent Aaron Kirman.
