1375 N Doheny Dr Los Angeles, CA 90069

Agent Remarks: Recently gracing the prestigious cover of Architectural Digest, this estate stands as an embodiment of timeless sophistication, meticulously curated from materials all over the world to create one of the most special homes in all of Los Angeles. Discreetly concealed beyond a privately gated driveway, an oversized motor court is laid with 200+ year-old reclaimed cobblestone from the historic streets of Boston. Experience the epitome of refined living with an open floor plan, double-height ceilings, and palatial steel-framed Crittal sliding glass doors which seamlessly unite the interior/outdoor spaces including a serene pool, covered patio, and verdant lawn. The sensuous chef's kitchen is an epicurean haven boasting custom bronze-patinated cabinets, top-of-the-line appliances including floating burners by Pitt, and 20 slabs of book-matched Calacatta marble bearing an Rorschach-like allure. Theowner's suite bath, inspired by Jean Michel Frank - a French art deco architect known for his soft, undulating lines - stands as the quintessence of unparalleled elegance and decadence; every square inch has been cocooned in 40 slabs of Calacatta Breccia Capraia, (an impossibly rare marble from Italy that was used throughout Italian churches for hundreds of years) including the steam shower's built-in chaise lounge to the monolithic tub hewn from a single block of stone, all paired with opulent Waterworks fixtures. Bespoke amenities include an office wrapped in an envelope of reclaimed French Oak, a state-of-the-art theater, wine cellar, gym, recreation room, private library, unrivaled security system with additional security guard station at property entrance, and audio/visual integration. More one-of-a-kind finishes include antique latches, door handles, and fixtures used throughout the home, with a tonal Venetian plaster technique adding depth and richness to the walls with 10 layers of paint. Engineering feats include horizontal and vertical automated pocketing doors, and handmade swings/screws to support the 4,000 lb. doors in the secret speakeasy bar. Unquestionably the most impressively crafted and composed property available, tailored for the most discerning buyer desiring perfection.
