33583 MULHOLLAND HWY, MALIBU 90265

Check out this rare to find trophy 17 acre Architectural Malibu estate by architect Ed Niles. The extraordinary custom glass & steel mega-home with 22' cathedral skylight ceilings is set on a completely private massive knoll with ocean views, a 60x12 foot pool, a 50' helipad, & 25+ car parking, and guest home. This magnificent truly unique property reminds me of a modern day temple or shrine. The $7,995,000 price tag seams reasonable for the opportunity to relax, create and manifest from your own home there everyday.

Marketing Description: 

A gated drive leads to a 17-acre knoll protected by the Santa Monica mountains and enhanced with glimpses of the Pacific and Channel Islands.This linear, steel-framed, steel-clad structure takes cues from the heroic rock escarpment facing it. Two paired rows of columns march down the 200-foot-long sides, with a pitched glass lantern running the length of the house. "Cylinders contain twin bedrooms at the north end and the master suite at the south; at the center lies bowed living-dining room, with study, kitchen, and family room occupying the intermediate areas." An entertaining deck sprawls out from the center living areas and overlooks the pool in the greensward. Below it is a studio or guest house. Another, unfinished studio lies below the the berm of lawn adjacent. Steps lead to a private heli pad. A property not for the faint of heart. (Quotations from Michael Webb's "House Design, Edward R. Niles.)

Offered at $7,995,000

9312 NIGHTINGALE DRIVE, SUNSET STRIP

This is a nearly a perfect Sunset Strip Home in the famous "Bird Streets". The architecture by Zoltan Pali is sublime. In my opinion this home is the real deal that others try to copy. Additionally the construction and material quality is incredible. I am truly passionate about this architectural home and it is on my favorite list in LA for sure. I'd give it a "10" if the view was better, but I'm sure that after spending just a little more time there I would be so obsessed with the property that I wouldn't care that the view is mostly obstructed unless you are at either end of the home. I love it.
