Beverly Crest Contemporary For $3.995 Million

Via Curbed LA: On Tuesday when this property went on the market, almost 250 people came to the twilight open house--quite a coup for a property priced at almost $4 million. The home, built in 1929, is located in super-exclusive Beverly Crest. According to the official listing, the home is 6,400 square feet, has four bedrooms and five bathrooms, and the master suite has walk-in closets and dressing rooms "Designed To Fit A Pop-Star's Entire Wardrobe!" Outside, once you're bored of the stunning panoramic views, you can turn around and watch movies on the outdoor theater. The owner's renovations catapult the home from mid-century modern to the present day, which is just fine with us.

Tom Cruise's secret Hollywood get away?

Love everything about it, except the room with the dark wood ceiling.

looks like a bad 70s porn house

Probably was.

Hideous!

Actually it's pretty tackily done. A bathtub almost right next to the bed? I think not. The stacked stone exterior is so "out" now. There's tons of houses like this in Palm Springs.

Are you talking about #11? I don't think that's a bathtub. I could be wrong of course.

They sure like big fat close-ups of people's faces on the wall.

[Madame De Stael]

the aesthetics of movie close-ups.

Yep, a deal. Everyone would be coming to ME because I had the very best party house.

Those wood floors are beautiful.

[topkatnc]

I agree ..

[SurrealSequences]

I'll take the Elizabeth Taylor art piece.

6k sq ft and a TWO car garage? In LA?

[Doug Watt]

Gluing faux stone to the entire exterior will bring done the value of this home. It's too much.

[CrankyCurmudgeon]

Now this is a subject just about everybody is interested in! I'm going to put my 1800 s/f home up for sale next week so I can move into something like this. We're all going to eat cake! Yaaay!

PS - I've been in dive bars that were more elegantly furnished than this piece of cr . . . work.

I have to check my sofa cushions - I might be able to come up with the money for this gem.

Or maybe not.

big. not. beautiful.

Contrast, opposites, this house's interior design is all about balance, marrying the interior to the exterior, cross-pollinating the interior with the exterior, highlighting the views, privacy, and accomplishing it through iconic images and the use of color. Iconic blond, iconic brunette. Blue-purple, yellow-orange. White walls, black floors. White marble with black veining. Black and white tweed carpeting.

A movie poster of Elizabeth Taylor on one wall of a room where the color of the sunset through the window on another wall of the room is the same color as her eyes. The blue of the sky is the constant through the rooms of the house that have views, and the use of blond Marilyn Monroe images throughout the house is to balance that blue seen through the windows in each room. In the rooms where the green grass is the predominant view, red is used as the accent inside the room, as a balance.

I'd be interested to know whether the house was deliberately staged for sale or if the art and furnishings are the seller's own.

the design is creative. obviously, the outre taste is beyond most people.

[ARMANDO DE LA ROSA]

10:39 PM on 03/03/2011

Who is kidding whom? Outre? Everything about this house, including the metallic fabric bed, says Anna Nicole would and probably has slept here.

[AnitaMan]

does your story come with a shovel?

[Christian Perez]

A badly designed house filled with tacky furniture. Make it stop. Did they have to cover the exterior with that brick pattern EVERYWHERE? Who decided to pair black window frames with those bricks? Horrible.

[Laxsmi de Potrero]

06:37 PM on 02/24/2011

and what is the design criteria? sister parish is not for everyone.

the statement here is big, bold and sassy (and maybe brassy!) that may just be more than some people can handle.

[RhiannonRings]

03:33 PM on 02/24/2011

Awful art..

[Amerigucci]

04:33 PM on 02/24/2011

You don't like Michelangelo?

[RhiannonRings]

06:30 PM on 02/24/2011

I meant the Marilyn Monroe rubbish.

[ARMANDO DE LA ROSA]

Blown up and cropped, no. Everything about them says casting couch girlfriend and former playboy bunny, at the housewarming, spilling Apple Martini explaining to her girlfriends how her boyfriend had what's his name Michela do them as a custom piece just for her. Boyfriend is busy doing blow going "That's right babe just for you" while trying to figure out which of her girlfriends he going to try and *****. Next.
