Home of the Week: A 1920s Mediterranean blending old and new

In the Beverly Hills Flats, a 92-year-old home has found new life in the 21st century. A dramatic remodel gave every room in the two-story floor plan its own personality, with modern amenities mixing with original details such as dramatic beamed-and-stenciled ceilings, massive fireplaces and arched windows. There’s a movie theater and gym inside. The half-acre grounds add a swimming pool, spa, guesthouse and gazebo with a heated lounge and dining area.
