First time on the market since built by engineer for his own family! Beautifully sited on a quiet cul-de-sac north of Sunset in prime Beverly Hills, this gated contemporary masterpiece drawing inspiration from master architect Richard Meier and the iconic Hotel del Coronado, offers approximately 9,525 square feet of refined architectural living (including car lover's garage/lounge and bonus spaces/ approx. 1,700 sq ft. of viewing decks). Recently reimagined renovation, the residence blends modern architecture with timeless craftsmanship, designed for the ultimate indoor/outdoor California lifestyle. A dramatic glass and stone entry with sweeping spiral staircase sets the tone, while soaring ceilings and expansive windows frame unobstructed views stretching from Downtown to Palos Verdes without a lengthy hilltop drive. Natural stone finishes, a full-service elevator, custom cabinetry, and abundant natural light create a warm yet sophisticated backdrop throughout. The private first floor primary suite is a sanctuary, complete with two full spa-like bathroom suites featuring a cedar sauna, Jacuzzi, walk-in stone shower, and oversized dual dressing rooms with bar sink and refrigerator. This hotel-like primary was designed with low decks overlooking the pool and immediate access for a morning swim. Two additional en suite bedrooms on the first floor are perfect for guests or dual offices. Staff room on main floor designed with immediate access to the kitchen and entertaining areas while maintaining privacy for the primary main floor wing. On the upper floor at the heart of the home, a gourmet chef's kitchen boasts a Viking range, dual Sub-Zero refrigerators, wine storage, and a large bright breakfast room opening to an outdoor living room. Formal and informal dining spaces flow seamlessly to a covered outdoor terrace, perfect for entertaining with views of Century City and Downtown. The lower level is dedicated to entertainment with a full-floor recreation space which could be used for a gym, media lounge, pool table, secondary kitchen, full bath and private entry, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. A 500+ bottle wine cellar, wet bar, and multiple fireplaces enhance the lifestyle. Outside, lush landscaped grounds unfold around a dark-bottom infinity pool, dual spas (one a walk-in perfect for a cold plunge), sport court, rose garden, and citrus orchard. Mature palms, expansive lawns, and dramatic nighttime lighting complete the resort-like setting. Additional highlights include a dumb waiter servicing all levels, 5-zone HVAC, central vacuum, security system, commercial backup generator, and an 5-car collector's garage with additional motor court parking.
