When you’ve got it, as Max Bialystock was fond of saying, flaunt it, baby. Billionaire Dmitry Bosov couldn’t agree more, as he started the New Year by shelling out a paltry thirty million dollars for this unabashedly palatial villa-inspired residence in Beverly Hills. It’s just the thing for a week-long or season-long getaway if you need a retreat with 10,500 square feet of interior living space.
The exterior of the house is limestone, and quite complex, with balconies and terraces marked by Italianate balustrades, a wide variety of window shapes, carved stone, lantern sconces, and a double exterior staircase in the rear.
The home’s interior details also crowd the eye from the get-go, with inlaid oak floors, ornate and plentiful crown moldings, convex and segmental arches, and pocket doors all clamoring for attention. A treatment in blue-gray sets a moody and somewhat introspective tone, and ceiling fixtures run the gamut from gilded age extravagance to contemporary iciness.
A few of the surprises waiting within include a step-up lounge with a round bar, an extremely formal kitchen, an entertainment/media room with a second bar and French doors opening onto the patio, and a master suite that boasts a fireplace, and a set of glass French doors between bedroom and sitting room/creative workspace.
Bosov is currently president of Alltech Group. His net worth is estimated at $1 billion.
