Fortune-worthy Beverly Hills residence, previously residence of a 'Gone With the Wind' star, fetched a $42 million price tag.
In the heart of Beverly Hills, a historic French Revival manor, known as the Rutherford House, has hit the market for $27 million—a significant increase from its last sale seven years ago [1][2]. Originally built in 1938 by the renowned architect Paul R. Williams, this grand estate was originally owned by Edward Paul Dentzel, a former mayor of Beverly Hills [1][2].
The Rutherford House, named "Greenway Chapel" due to its use for several weddings, was the residence of Ann Rutherford, best known for her role as one of Scarlett O'Hara's sisters in the film classic Gone With the Wind and her husband, William Dozier, creator of the 1960s Batman TV show [2]. The couple was known for hosting lavish parties and weddings there, adding to the home's storied history [2].
The 13,678-square-foot estate features a blend of Old World glamour and modern luxuries. The stately foyer, lined with herringbone wood floors, opens to formal living and dining rooms. The kitchen boasts white marble countertops and walls, with a black and white checkerboard floor and an Art Deco mosaic ceiling [1].
The ground level of the Rutherford House includes a library, billiards room, moody bar, and a morning room with an original fireplace and 18th-century wallpaper [1]. The grand primary suite is located on the upper floor, complete with dual marble bathrooms, large dressing rooms, a private lounge, and five bedrooms and nine bathrooms in total [1].
The backyard features an oval pool and a cabana with a bar and TV [1]. Since Rutherford’s death in 2012, the home has undergone extensive renovations, including a new wing above the garage, an elevator, and enhancements to the pool area [1][2].
