Au-Dessus de Tout

On one of the most coveted cul-de-sacs in Trousdale Estates, a contemporary architectural residence of roughly 8,600 square feet with unobstructed panoramic views from nearly every room. Walls of glass, soaring skylights, an infinity pool, and complete seclusion at the highest reaches of Beverly Hills, a home that has quietly hosted dignitaries, celebrities, and athletes.

Morning arrives as light, not sound. You wake in a primary suite where floor-to-ceiling glass frames the whole sweep of the basin, and the city below is still soft with haze while up here the sun is already working across the canyon and the hills. This is the promise Trousdale Estates was built on more than sixty years ago, life above it all, and few houses in the enclave deliver it as completely as this one. Set at the end of a coveted cul-de-sac on nearly half an acre, wrapped in mature landscaping with exceptional separation from every neighbor, the home offers the rarest luxury in Los Angeles: to be at the center of everything and entirely apart from it at once. The house is organized around the outlook. Roughly 8,600 square feet unfold through walls of glass and soaring skylights, top-quality natural maple floors underfoot, artistic textured walls catching the light, and oversized pocketing doors that open the entire main level to the outdoors. A striking bar clad in imported Italian stone anchors the living room, the same stone echoed through the residence like a signature. The chef's kitchen gathers around a stone island. A dedicated office looks out over a tranquil entry water feature through floor-to-ceiling windows. Everywhere you stand, the view is doing the decorating. By afternoon the pleasure is simply being up here. The newly refreshed infinity pool traces the curves of the house, and a sunken lounge with a fire pit sits exactly where the sunsets land across the skyline. There is a movie theater and a wine cellar below, a fitness studio and sauna, six bedrooms for family and guests, but the feeling that lingers is the one you had at dawn: elevation, privacy, and a horizon that belongs, for now, to you. Au-Dessus de Tout is not a description of the address. It is the experience of living at it.

About Trousdale Estates & Beverly Hills, California

"Life Above It All." Perched at the highest point of Beverly Hills on former Doheny Ranch land, Trousdale Estates was created by developer Paul Trousdale beginning in 1954 as an exclusive hillside enclave, with height and massing limits written to protect the panoramic view axis of every parcel.

An Architectural Landmark District. Trousdale holds the largest and most complete concentration of custom mid-century modern architecture in Los Angeles, shaped by master architects including A. Quincy Jones, Paul R. Williams, Wallace Neff, and Cliff May.

A Legendary Address. The neighborhood's residents have long read like a cultural history of Los Angeles, from Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and Dean Martin to generations of entertainment and business leaders drawn by its privacy and prestige.

Minutes to Rodeo Drive and the Sunset Strip. Just above Sunset Boulevard and the Beverly Hills Flats, the enclave sits minutes from the shopping of Rodeo Drive and the Golden Triangle, the dining and nightlife of the Sunset Strip, and the top-rated schools of the Beverly Hills Unified School District.

Central to Everything. With the services of the City of Beverly Hills and a position between Bel Air and the Bird Streets, the home offers quick access to Century City, Hollywood, and the Westside while feeling worlds removed from all of it.
