Description
Set high above the city in the coveted Hollywood Hills, this three-story architectural retreat with Guest house is the epitome of refined Los Angeles living. Sprawling 180-degree panoramas stretch from the Downtown skyline to the Pacific Ocean and on the clearest days, Catalina Island graces the horizon. Tucked away behind lush, mature, and terraced landscaping on a private estate lot, the residence offers five sumptuous bedrooms and six baths, married with the serenity of a hideaway yet moments from the cultural energy of the city. Walls of glass dissolve the boundary between inside and out, while multiple terraces beckon the mild Southern California climate. The interiors glow with wide-plank wood floors, recessed lighting, and vaulted ceilings with exposed beams a warm, architectural counterpoint to ultra-modern finishes. At its heart, the chef's kitchen dazzles: a restaurant-grade La Cornue range anchored by custom oak cabinetry, dual dishwashers and premium fixtures frame a space made for effortless entertaining. Adjacent open dining and living zones flow seamlessly to an outdoor lounge and expansive deck a rare luxury in the Hollywood Hills and an entertainer's dream as the sun dips below the Pacific. A versatile TV room/den, complete with closets, offers the flexibility to serve as an additional bedroom ideal for guests or a private retreat. Upstairs, the primary suite unfolds like a resort retreat complete with walk-in closet, spa-inspired bath, and private terrace with sweeping views. Just off this level, the second terrace features built-in outdoor heaters perfect for year-round comfort while enjoying the breathtaking panorama. The third level presents a purposeful family room, wet sink and fridge for convenience, plus three uniquely finished guest bedrooms each with their own ensuite bath and generous storage. Enjoy ultimate convenience with a full laundry room downstairs and an additional laundry area complete with washer and dryer tucked neatly into the upstairs bathroom. Step outside and live as though on vacation every day: multiple terraces and patios, lounging zones, a shimmering pool and spa all arrayed to capture light and view. With the smart iAqualink system, pool and spa temperature and settings are controllable remotely pure ease and the automated fully retractable pool cover adds an extra layer of conveience and saftey. Two motorized sun-shades elegantly manage light and privacy throughout the day. Underpinning the beauty is serious forward-thinking infrastructure. Fully paid $30,000+ Tesla solar panels promote eco-conscious living while lowering energy cost. A whole-house water filtration system, whole-house fan, in-wall flat screens (three), Sonos sound zones (7 indoor, 4 outdoor), Nest cameras, Rachio irrigation system and a 240-volt NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage for EV charging all converge in a home that's as smart as it is chic. A detached guest structure includes a full kitchen, bath and its own courtyard ideal for visiting friends, extended stays or a boutique home office. This is more than a home it's a statement of mega-design, technological intelligence and panoramic beauty. With its vantage from the heights of Los Angeles, it delivers luxury, sustainability, privacy and spectacle in equal measure. Truly a rare opportunity to own a hillside haven with views from downtown to the sea.
