While the origins of the Pillsbury company\u2014for more than a century a symbol of comfort and convenience\u2014are firmly rooted in the American midwest, in the early 20th century, the dynasty did expand westward, with scions settling in the Los Angeles area in the early decades. One branch of the family tree purchased some 1.5 acres north of Beverly Hills and constructed a residence there\u2014a fittingly charming place for a family whose name is nearly synonymous with nostalgia and welcoming home life\u2014enveloped by live oak trees and flourishing gardens. The estate\u2019s notable ownership history has continued over the decades since, passing from one Hollywood personage to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current owners are Nicolas and Roxy Bijan, local luminaries in their own right. Nicolas is an entrepreneur, founder of the exclusive quiet-luxury menswear brand NB44, and co-owner of the legendary House of Bijan. Roxy\u2014a Beverly Hills native and former television star\u2014has established herself as an astute businessperson and highly regarded interior designer. The two brought their singular tastes and points of view to bear, which they began renovating during the pandemic, and Roxy conjured interiors that are uniquely warm, whimsical, and elegant. French doors throughout admit floods of natural light and connect the interiors with the colorful surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlights include a living room with a fireplace and a wet bar, a glamorous formal dining room with Gracie chinoiserie wallpaper, a relaxed family room, an enchanting cook\u2019s kitchen with top-tier appliances and Waterstone fixtures, a sunroom-like breakfast area, and an office with a striking deep green wall and a view of vibrant roses. The chic primary suite includes dual baths and closets\u2014one a meticulously designed space with boutique-caliber lighted shoe shelving. Two additional bedrooms and a shared full bath are tucked upstairs. Contemporary comforts and conveniences abound, among them state-of-the-art security and audiovisual systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The setting is a picturesque pastoral paradise, where\u2014despite a location just minutes from Rodeo Drive and the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel\u2014quietude prevails and deer meander peacefully by. The gated drive leads to a motor court that accommodates up to eight cars\u2014a nod to the home\u2019s prestigious provenance and history of entertaining. Idyllic spaces for outdoor living, dining, and gathering\u2014including a grilling area\u2014are enveloped by lush lawn and other flourishing flora. A freestanding one-bedroom guesthouse with its own well-outfitted kitchen affords thoughtful privacy for short- and long-term visitors. Further afield is a sports court, an enviable amenity for the pickleball enthusiast, one of many modern elements that, in union with the estate\u2019s classic character and charm, represent this home\u2019s undeniably enduring appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
