A meticulously curated modern mountaintop retreat by master architects Woods + Dangaran, featuring spectacular interiors by Adam Miller. 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. Cedar plank ceilings throughout both levels are custom milled to the exact width of the recessed lighting, showcasing a commitment to detail throughout. A magnificent six-foot-wide blackened steel staircase curves around a raked double-height Italian travertine wall leading down to the lower-level living room. The upstairs stuns with smoked walnut flooring by Madera, through to the stairs. 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. The primary kitchen features book-matched Brazilian "Picasso" quartzite, and both kitchens feature state-of-the-art appliances that have been paneled to blend seamlessly into the surrounding millwork. Entertaining is easy with two outdoor kitchens, one on each level, each featuring Lynx gas grills, and an upper level conversation area with fire pit. Each wing embraces an expansive lawn, truly a one-of-a-kind haven, unparalleled in size, with native, drought-tolerant plants, four 150-year-old olive trees, two sculptural Japanese black pines, and wrapped with Corten steel planters that have patinated to a warm, rich rust color with red-rock boulders featured in the gardens. Also featured on the sprawling grounds of this estate, is a stunning black Hydrazzo finish pool that stretches across the entire width of the property, with a half-Olympic length swim lane, oversized Baja shelf, and spa complete with underwater speakers and LED lighting.
