About this home
A sophisticated contemporary retreat above the Sunset Strip, this gated residence is distinguished by expressive architecture, substantial scale, and a refined interplay of natural materials and glass. The interiors are defined by sculptural volumes, custom millwork, Jerusalem stone, marble, and warm walnut finishes, creating a modern environment that feels composed rather than austere. Previously owned by Crystal Hefner and featured in People Magazine and architectural publications, the property carries a recognizable design history while offering the amenities expected of a highly customized Los Angeles home. A dramatic entry introduces soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light before opening into expansive living spaces oriented toward the skyline. The formal entertaining areas connect directly to an outdoor terrace, allowing the city to become a visual backdrop throughout the main level. The kitchen is designed with substantial walnut cabinetry, Miele appliances, stainless steel detailing, dual ovens, dual dishwashers, and an oversized island, while the adjoining family room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and broad picture windows. The upper level includes three en-suite bedrooms, led by a primary suite positioned to capture the city lights and open to a private terrace. Its bath takes on a spa-like character with an exceptionally powerful steam shower and integrated audio. A custom commissioned chandelier and floating butcher-block staircase introduce sculptural elements that give the interiors a distinctive identity. A separate lower level is devoted to recreation and entertaining, with a professionally conceived Dolby Atmos theater featuring concealed speakers behind a perforated projection screen. A lounge, arcade area, refrigerated wine cellar, bar, and fourth en-suite bedroom complete the floor, creating a self-contained setting for guests and gatherings. The exterior is arranged as a series of elevated entertaining spaces surrounded by mature landscaping. An infinity-edge saltwater pool and spa overlook the city, while multiple terraces accommodate dining, lounging, and sunbathing. Programmable pool lighting, Jandy automation, and a 16-speaker exterior sound system further enhance the setting. Additional upgrades include whole-house audio, reverse-osmosis and HALO water filtration, enhanced HVAC with UV air purification, and smart irrigation. Just minutes from the Sunset Strip, Beverly Hills, and West Hollywood, the property delivers a compelling balance of bold contemporary design, expansive views, and resort-style living in one of Los Angeles' most desirable hillside settings.
Hollywood Hills West, located between Sunset Boulevard and Mulholland Drive, is a hillside and residential Los Angeles neighborhood with winding canyon roads and panoramic city views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Sunset Strip at Sunset Blvd and Doheny Dr, where music venues, design-forward hotels, and late-night dining line the boulevard. Mid-century moderns, contemporary glass homes, and classic canyon cottages step along steep lots above Laurel Canyon and Coldwater Canyon. Runyon Canyon Park frames the southern edge with trailheads and ridgelines. The Hollywood Bowl and the Whisky a Go Go anchor the area’s cultural calendar. The Chateau Marmont adds a storied, old-Hollywood note to the streetscape.
