About 1655 Carla
Set within a premier enclave of Trousdale Estates, this 6,500-square-foot architectural masterpiece merges contemporary luxury with the distinctive character of midcentury-modern design. Surrounded by panoramic views of the Santa Monica Mountains, this two-bedroom, four-bathroom estate offers an unparalleled living experience in one of Beverly Hills most coveted neighborhoods. In collaboration with Lucas Design Studio, the residence embodies soft contemporary architectural precision and material mastery, featuring an array of exotic finishes selected for their beauty and integrity, along with four sculptural gas fireplaces that bring warmth and architectural presence to the home. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite natural light and stunning vistas into every room, creating a harmonious flow between indoor and outdoor living. A striking flame-sprayed nickel wall extends from the exterior into the living room, setting the stage for a curated collection of design icons, including a curved Vladimir Kagan sofa, an Ado Chale coffee table, and a Paul Evans I Wavy front credenza, all resting atop a custom wool and silk rug from Fedora Design. Art takes center stage in this residence, with commissioned works throughout, including a mesmerizing light sculpture by LA artist David Wiseman that illuminates the sunken TV lounge. Inspired by the surrounding landscape, Wiseman cast acorns from the property's trees, incorporating them into the intricate design. At night, the sculpture transforms the space into an enchanting retreat, evoking the feeling of relaxing beneath a starlit canopy. The dining room exudes sophistication, with a Herve Van der Straeten dining table, complemented with dining chairs by designer Hans Wegner. The open-concept kitchen is equally striking, featuring wire-brushed and cerused rift oak cabinetry, quartzite countertops, and dazzling custom lighting. The primary suite is a unique sanctuary, with a custom-upholstered bed, luxurious textiles from de Le Cuona, and designer pieces by Roger Capron and Paul Evans. The vast spa-inspired primary bath is a study in exquisite stonework with two Toto toilets enhancing the spa-level experience. Midcentury Swedish flatweave rug, and vintage sconces elevate the guest suite's atmosphere of curated luxury. Floors are Terrazzo, bantered by bordered by limestone edges. Outside, the infinity pool extends to the edge of the living room, creating a seamless visual connection between water and sky. Thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces offer ample room for relaxation and entertaining, with breathtaking views serving as the perfect backdrop. A rare offering in a historic enclave once home to legends like Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, this residence is a masterclass in design, blending artistry, luxury, and architectural integrity. This estate is being offered furnished as curated for someone desiring a highly designed atmosphere throughout. Particular attention was paid to the lighting design for the home, pool, and landscaping, to the point where the homeowners insist that interested Buyers experience the property both during the day and in the evening to fully appreciate it. Highlights include Italian iGuzzini laser lighting integrated throughout the home. The residence is prominently featured on the sites of its creative partners - Lucas Studio (lucasinterior.com), TLD Lighting Design (t-ld.com), and Hocker Design Group (hockerdesign.com) offering an additional lens into the home's exceptional design.
