Arvin Haddad, the discerning property critic, takes on a Beverly Hills mansion with the precision of a surgeon. This sprawling abode, once listed for a hefty $40 million, saw a significant price drop to $28.5 million before finding a new owner. The transformation from an outdated 80s Mediterranean style to a sleek modern look was not without its controversies. Arvin points out glaring flaws in the mansion's layout, originally tailored for a vast entourage of staff, including provisions for multiple wives or servants in the guest house.
The property's entrance underwent a facelift to exude grandeur and privacy, with fountains and a massive front door setting the tone. Inside, chevron hardwood floors, custom bronze doors from Europe, and warm transitional accents added a touch of sophistication. However, the interior design was not spared from Arvin's critical eye, as he dissected the shortcomings of the dueling staircases and cramped ceiling heights in the foyer, creating a tunnel-like effect that dampened the grandeur expected in such a luxurious setting.
Moving through the dining room and kitchen, Arvin highlighted the inconsistent ceiling heights as a result of the property's peculiar layout, resembling tentacles of an octopus. While the kitchen boasted a cohesive palette and functional layout connecting to the family room, the design flaws persisted, hindering the overall flow and functionality of the living space. Despite the well-thought-out areas like the breakfast nook and the family room, the mansion's layout limitations restricted the potential for seamless living and entertainment, leaving Arvin to ponder the missed opportunities in optimizing the property's vast living space.
