Description

Located on the most prestigious cul-de-sac in the famed Trousdale Estates, this remarkable multi-level home offers a phenomenal opportunity to own or develop one of the most unique properties in all of Los Angeles. This one-of-a-kind estate was built down more than 80 feet deep into a steep hillside, allowing for a multi-level home that takes full advantage of unobstructed panoramic south-facing views spanning from Downtown to the Pacific Ocean. The house sits on half an acre, features 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, and includes expansive entertainers' terraces, a pool, and an indoor racquetball court. Plans for a new architectural masterpiece designed by award-winning architect Michele Saee, AIA, are available with the purchase. The new design nicknamed The Butterfly House for its unique wing-shaped roof resembling the contour of a butterfly was inspired by the idea of flight and a sense of floating above LA. The concept builds on the grandfathered-in structure plus a new proposed basement apx 7,990 sq.ft. pending conceptual approval for a total allowable 18,000 sq.ft. home. Walls of glass and distinctive skylights on the rippling roof line above allow an abundance of light into the interior of the home. An open floor plan on the main level includes a great room, kitchen and dining room and several wings that lead to separate sleeping quarters, guest rooms and a library. An expanded lower level features a movie-theatre, game room, a gym with steam and sauna, underground parking garage and two additional suites with access to the relocated pool and spa. From the first visit, this home will capture your imagination. A truly once in a lifetime opportunity to own a unique property that can never be duplicated.
