About this home

Anyone who's shopped the Hills for a view knows the trade you're usually asked to make. The dramatic vista comes attached to a house on stilts, down a street you hold your breath on, on a lot so steep there's nowhere to actually stand outside and take it in. You get the view or you get the ground under your feet, almost never both. The Nest is the exception. It sits on a rare flat promontory, a real piece of land pushed out over the hills, where the view isn't something you catch through a window but something you live inside of, skyline to ocean, the whole sweep of it. Mornings are coffee above the clouds with the city still asleep below. Evenings are long dinners outside as downtown flickers on, one light at a time. And because the lot is flat and wrapped in its own privacy, there's real room to breathe out here, a resort-style pool, open terraces, and vantage points that make the rest of Los Angeles feel very far away. Inside, the home holds onto its mid-century soul, walls of glass pulling the light and the view straight through the house, the kind of architecture that never dates because it never chased a trend. It's been cared for and quietly modernized over the years, so nothing about living here feels like the past: app-controlled pool systems, business-grade WiFi, integrated Sonos, upgraded water filtration, dual-zone HVAC, and the behind-the-walls infrastructure that lets a home this size run without you ever thinking about it. And for all the seclusion, you're minutes from the Sunset Strip, Beverly Hills, and West Hollywood, close enough to be in the middle of it the moment you want to be, high enough above it to leave all of it behind when you come home. Homes on a true flat promontory like this almost never come to market in the Hills. This is the rare one that hands you the view and the life to go with it. Shown by appointment.
