Four takeawaysFour things an operator needs to know about 238 S McCarty Dr.
  1. Sold $502K over ask. Listed July 15 at $5.495 million ($1,467/SF) and sold August 31 at $5.997 million ($1,600/SF),  about $502,000 over list.
  2. $1,600 a foot on 3,747 square feet in the 90212 side of Beverly Hills is the print. Not Flats Canon money — still a full-price-plus residential bid south of Wilshire.
  3. The building is 1935 (renovated 1940 on the record). Four bedrooms, five baths. Assessed value was still under $410K in 2025 — the tax basis and the trade price live in different worlds.

The Location

238 S McCarty Drive sits in the flats of Beverly Hills, zip code 90212, between Wilshire Boulevard to the north and Olympic Boulevard to the south. This is one of the more stable residential pockets in the city: wide streets, mature tree canopy, walkable to the Beverly Hills business triangle. 

The parcel is 7,654 SF, the building is 3,747 SF.

What an Operator Sees

Above-ask closes are the tell. On McCarty they paid $1,600 a foot after a $1,467 ask and half a million over list in a month and a half. 

That is a buyer who Wanted the house and paid whatever it took to get it.  
The market is heating up in Beverly Hills and there isn't much inventory in the market.  When homes like this hit, in this location, they sell fast.
