Perfectly situated on a double lot at the top of the Birds, the property offers absolute privacy and stunning curb appeal, highlighted by a breeze block wall framed between two bronze-finish cantilevered rooflines. Architectural magnificence flows from the exterior to reveal a spectacular panoramic view, from Beverly Hills and Century City to the Pacific Ocean and surrounding mountaintops, on this sunset-facing marvel. This L-shaped estate features floor-to-ceiling glass in all common areas and welcomes the beauty of the outdoors in, with a continuous flow of aesthetics, allowing for a rich earth-tone ambiance and streams of natural light.

The lower level flows with custom terrazzo flooring, with an off-white base and oversized stones in shades of black, caramel, tan, and pale blue-gray, which extends to the outdoor patios and entertainment decks.Breathtaking primary kitchen with an adjacent chef's kitchen tucked away around the corner to maximize dining options.
