Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Excellent
TeardownExcellent

Property is new construction or fully renovated.

Although originally built in 1939, the property has undergone an extensive, high-end renovation featuring ultra-modern finishes and state-of-the-art infrastructure. The chef's kitchen is equipped with a premium La Cornue range and custom oak cabinetry, while the home integrates advanced technology including Tesla solar panels, EV charging, and a comprehensive smart home system. The wide-plank wood flooring, vaulted ceilings, and seamless indoor-outdoor integration reflect a property in like-new condition with no deferred maintenance.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Iconic Panoramic Views

    The property features breathtaking 180-degree views spanning from the Downtown Los Angeles skyline to the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island, visible from multiple levels.

  • Advanced Eco-Smart Infrastructure

    Equipped with $30,000+ in paid Tesla solar panels, EV charging, and a comprehensive smart home suite including Sonos, Nest, and iAqualink systems.

  • Versatile Detached Guest House

    A separate guest structure with a full kitchen, bath, and private courtyard provides an ideal space for a high-end home office, studio, or long-term guests.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Vertical Living Layout

    The three-story architectural design requires frequent use of stairs, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking accessibility or a more lateral floor plan.

  • Limited Flat Yard Space

    While the property excels in terraced outdoor living and decking, the hillside topography offers minimal flat grassy areas for pets or children's play.

  • Vintage Infrastructure Maintenance

    Despite extensive modern upgrades, the original 1939 construction date may necessitate more rigorous ongoing maintenance of hillside foundations and drainage systems.

About 8951 St Ives Drive

Set high above the city in the coveted Hollywood Hills, this three-story architectural retreat with Guest house is the epitome of refined Los Angeles living. Sprawling 180-degree panoramas stretch from the Downtown skyline to the Pacific Ocean and on the clearest days, Catalina Island graces the horizon. Tucked away behind lush, mature, and terraced landscaping on a private estate lot, the residence offers five sumptuous bedrooms and six baths, married with the serenity of a hideaway yet moments from the cultural energy of the city. Walls of glass dissolve the boundary between inside and out, while multiple terraces beckon the mild Southern California climate. The interiors glow with wide-plank wood floors, recessed lighting, and vaulted ceilings with exposed beams a warm, architectural counterpoint to ultra-modern finishes. At its heart, the chef's kitchen dazzles: a restaurant-grade La Cornue range anchored by custom oak cabinetry, dual dishwashers and premium fixtures frame a space made for effortless entertaining. Adjacent open dining and living zones flow seamlessly to an outdoor lounge and expansive deck a rare luxury in the Hollywood Hills and an entertainer's dream as the sun dips below the Pacific. A versatile TV room/den, complete with closets, offers the flexibility to serve as an additional bedroom ideal for guests or a private retreat. Upstairs, the primary suite unfolds like a resort retreat complete with walk-in closet, spa-inspired bath, and private terrace with sweeping views. Just off this level, the second terrace features built-in outdoor heaters perfect for year-round comfort while enjoying the breathtaking panorama. The third level presents a purposeful family room, wet sink and fridge for convenience, plus three uniquely finished guest bedrooms each with their own ensuite bath and generous storage. Enjoy ultimate convenience with a full laundry room downstairs and an additional laundry area complete with washer and dryer tucked neatly into the upstairs bathroom. Step outside and live as though on vacation every day: multiple terraces and patios, lounging zones, a shimmering pool and spa all arrayed to capture light and view. With the smart iAqualink system, pool and spa temperature and settings are controllable remotely pure ease and the automated fully retractable pool cover adds an extra layer of conveience and saftey. Two motorized sun-shades elegantly manage light and privacy throughout the day. Underpinning the beauty is serious forward-thinking infrastructure. Fully paid $30,000+ Tesla solar panels promote eco-conscious living while lowering energy cost. A whole-house water filtration system, whole-house fan, in-wall flat screens (three), Sonos sound zones (7 indoor, 4 outdoor), Nest cameras, Rachio irrigation system and a 240-volt NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage for EV charging all converge in a home that's as smart as it is chic. A detached guest structure includes a full kitchen, bath and its own courtyard ideal for visiting friends, extended stays or a boutique home office. This is more than a home it's a statement of mega-design, technological intelligence and panoramic beauty. With its vantage from the heights of Los Angeles, it delivers luxury, sustainability, privacy and spectacle in equal measure. Truly a rare opportunity to own a hillside haven with views from downtown to the sea.
