Taylor Swift’s Famed ‘1989’ Beverly Hills Compound Hits Market For $8M

One of the most culturally significant celebrity sanctuaries in modern pop music history has officially hit the market. The private Beverly Hills compound at 1827 North Beverly Drive—famed worldwide as the creative retreat where Taylor Swift conceived and wrote the bulk of her era-defining 2014 album 1989—is now up for sale with a guide price of $7.995 million.

Offered through Drew Mandile and Dean Mandile of Sotheby’s International Realty – Beverly Hills Brokerage, the gated 1.5-acre estate represents a rare opportunity to acquire a slice of music history wrapped in classic 1940s Hollywood charm and custom European design.

The pop legacy behind 1827 North Beverly Drive

Swift acquired the historic Pillsbury Estate in 2011, transforming the secluded Beverly Crest hideaway into her primary Southern California residence throughout the critical inflection point of her career.

Beyond serving as the backdrop for her viral Vogue 73 Questions walkthrough, the estate's dedicated home office housed the white grand piano where Swift penned chart-topping anthems including Blank Space and Bad Blood.

In 2018, Swift parted with the compound in a private, off-market transaction to menswear designer Nicolas Bijan and his interior designer wife, Roxy Bijan. Over the intervening years, the couple executed an extensive, multi-million-dollar restoration that modernized the property while honoring its authentic artistic lineage. Now, the finished estate returns to the open market.

Inside the $8M redesign

Offering 4,360 square feet of curated living space, the accommodation spans a three-bedroom main house and a fully self-contained, one-bedroom detached guest cottage.

The Bijans departed from conventional stark minimalism, instead layering warm heritage finishes, natural stone, and bespoke joinery throughout:
The famed creative studio: Swift’s original music writing room has been transformed into a sophisticated executive office wrapped in rich jade walls, with deep-set casement windows framing mature English rose gardens. Nicolas Bijan utilized the same room to build his luxury label, NB44.

Expanded entertaining living spaces: Original timber floors flow into formal reception rooms, an integrated cocktail wet bar, and a newly constructed sunroom breakfast parlor enclosed by floor-to-ceiling glass that opens onto stone dining terraces.

The Annabel’s-inspired principal suite: The primary bedroom retreat features a custom pink-washed marble bathroom and dressing lounge directly influenced by the aesthetic of London’s elite private members' club, Annabel's, complete with bespoke vanity cabinetry and antique mirrored details.

1.5 acres of English country seclusion in Beverly Crest

Set across two distinct legal parcels behind secure automated gates, the estate offers an uncommonly deep footprint in the canyon, providing the level of perimeter security and privacy that initially drew Swift to the address.

The grounds have been restored to resemble an English country park.
