You’re probably wondering where is this magnificent residence located at… I shall give you the address – 1201 Laurel Way in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California. I don’t think this will help you that much though, except if you’re willing to visit or buy it – I personally think the second option is more for the likes of us, as the residence costs a mind-boggling $36 million.
Found within a self-contained Beverly Hills enclosure, above the hills, the residence is an architectonic jewel, built on extraordinary land, with passion, skills and soul. Welcoming visitors into the main floor foyer there’s a stalwart wood pivot door, 14 feet tall, completely flanked by glass. Providing insights into the wet-bar and wine cellar beneath, pristine glass floors lie a few steps away from the main foyer.
In addition, there’s the atmosphere of this place – the stunning dining areas and the open-plan living rooms provide breathtaking views of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. This jewel of a home is absolutely staggering even in terms of cooking – it comprises a top notch kitchen with integrated Miele appliances and Italian lacquered cabinetry.
Starting from the main foyer, cantilevered Wenge steps lead the way upwards, to the third floor, giving the impression of in-home floating. Now, that we’re talking about the third floor, there’s a very important fact about it – it is integrally occupied by the master bedroom. It houses her and his closets, elegant Italian cabinetry, a stunning master bathroom/spa, private outdoor deck garnished with a 6-person hot tub and a massive, 60-inch fireplace made of glass.
Adjacent to the main level, outdoors, there’s a fantastic infinity pool, surrounded by chaise lounges, and further fitted with two 60-inch plasma televisions. And it’s not all about skinny dipping, there’s in fact plenty of more fun available. The mansion comprises a superb, state of the art home theater with leather seating for 11 people and an exquisitely designed library/office with even more Italian cabinetry. Amenities-wise, this Beverly Hills home is equipped with Crestron Home Automation System controllable from anywhere inside the confines of the house, 6 separate zones for air conditioning and heating, professional PGA-inspired putting green and private bathroom/steam shower attached to the library.
Comprising a total of 6 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, this Marc Whipple-designed residence is also a great place to tend to your prized cars – it sports a glassed-in 5-car museum which, to be perfectly honest, I wouldn’t just call a garage. Mauricio Umansky of The Agency holds the listing.
