Monday Markets: Luxury Home in the Hills
This week’s Monday Market is a $13.5 million dollar home, in the Bel-Air/Holmby Hills area. This home has two stories, with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. At just over 8000 square feet, this home is spacious but not unmanageable.
This traditional-style home has a gated entrance, a large background pool, a custom brick patio, and beautiful landscaping. With all of the trees surrounding it, the home looks like a fairytale home in the woods, albeit with a tennis court.
It is the interior of this home, however, that really shines. Book lovers will enjoy a library, with wood bookshelves lining the walls and large windows letting in ample natural light. In fact, the number of windows is one of the nicest features of this home. Wall to ceiling windows line many of the rooms on the first floor, including a sunroom.
High ceilings increase the airiness of this property. There is a den, family room, and a formal dining room, complete with a large picture window overlooking the grounds. Most rooms have hardwood flooring, and the living room and family room both have a fireplace.
Unlike many of the high-end properties, this home does not flaunt its expense. Despite its cost, this home isn’t over-the-edge. It looks like a family home, not an elaborate show-case for the rich and famous. Although it is very elegant, it is also livable. New homeowners can make this home their own.
This home was designed for luxury, with a price tag to match. It’s also secluded, thanks to the trees surrounding the property, making the perfect place for someone who enjoys the excitement of Los Angeles but also the ability to escape for quiet evenings and weekends with their loved ones.
