Elite LuxuryHomes A HISTORIC HOLLYWOOD MANSION, AN OCEANFRONT VILLA OR A SPRAWLING JUNGLE ESCAPE IN MEXICO — YOUR SUMMER VACATION HOME AWAITS BY EMMA REYNOLDS

Tresco 97 Elizabeth Bay Road, Sydney, Australia

It may be the sheer size of this waterfront property in Sydney that initially captivates you, but once you get a closer look at its Victorian- Italianate architecture, you’ll realize just how impressive this home, built in 1868, truly is. The sandstone manor looks something out of a fairy tale, blending elegant tradition with modern landscaping and design. Inside, the home has been modernly restored, while still retaining an old-world charm visible in its ornate crown moldings, chandeliers and marble floors. There are eight bedrooms, two offices, two kitchens, a boathouse, a wine cellar with room for hundreds of bottles, an expansive lawn and a separate apartment (formerly stables) for staff. Each room looks out on Sydney’s bustling harbor, or you can enjoy the buzzing waterfront from the home’s small gazebo. $34m.

The sprawling estate was once owned by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst and actress Marion Davies, and was even the honeymoon locale for Jackie and John F Kennedy. It is situated just blocks from The Beverly Hills Hotel and Sunset Boulevard. The Beverly House has 18 bedrooms, a near-Olympic-size swimming pool, tennis courts, two screening rooms, terraces that hold up to 400 people, four security gates, a commercial-grade kitchen, two-story library with hand-carved woodwork, billiard room with an ornate wooden ceiling, Art Deco lounge and hallways more than 80 ft long. The Revival-style Mediterranean mansion is situated on 3.7 acres, and every inch of the property exudes Hollywood glamour. $125m.
