Trophy Properties: Los Angeles

$26.5 MILLION HOLMBY HILLS

Situated between Beverly Hills and Bel Air, Holmby Hills is one of the most influential enclaves in Los Angeles. Located in western Los Angeles, this neighborhood is bursting with panoramic views of the entire Los Angeles Basin, and is home to some of the most desirable estates in the world. And this property is of no exception, neighboring many high-level entertainment industry executives, television producers, and movie moguls who reside in Holmby Hills. And let’s not forget about the infamous Playboy Mansion just around the corner!

The Holmby Hills estate exudes Old World extravagance all thanks to renowned architect Kevin Clark. One enters into the 14,000-square-foot home through an exquisite entry hall lighted by a dome skylight. The home also boasts eight breathtaking bedrooms, 12 baths, a great room, library, family room, six hand-carved marble and stone fireplaces, and an elevator.

Residents also have the option to dine in either the formal dining room or junior dining room, and have their meals prepared in a gorgeous kitchen covered in Italian marble, with two Sub-Zero refrigerators, a Sub-Zero freezer, two center islands, and three stoves.

Living in an area so idyllic, a wine tasting room and a media room is almost expected within the home. The fabulous limestone “Monte Carlo” terraces also add beauty to the estate, which includes a covered pool with solar and gas heating, a pavilion and a spa. With numerous fountains, a walking path, tennis court, and five-car detached garage, living in “the finest home on the market now in LA,” according to Christopher Choo of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, leaves hopeful buyers euphoric.
