Nestled high atop the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Mount Olympus, and originally built by the current owner in the mid-1970s, this striking modernist villa was remodeled and expanded in the ’90s by Donald Luckenbill, an architect who worked closely with the famed Paul Rudolph. Completely redesigned again over the past four years by Pierre de Angelis of Good Project Company — and known as “Oceanus” — the contemporary residence has now popped up for sale, asking just over $9.8 million.
Resting behind a gated driveway, amid a secluded parcel spanning almost a half-acre, the impressive white and steel-louvered structure offers four bedrooms and six baths spread across 7,500 square feet of two-level living space boasting honed Italian Paloma limestone, European wide-plank white oak floors, soaring ceilings, skylights and Control4 smart-home features throughout. Large expanses of glass frame sweeping city lights and ocean views.
Main-level highlights include a spacious sunken living area spotlighted by a black steel fireplace and an 85-inch TV hidden away within bespoke white oak bookcases. A formal dining room and seating area sporting a dark orange leather banquette hold court adjacent to the custom Abitar Project kitchen, which is outfitted with matte polar white cabinetry, an eat-in island, top-tier stainless appliances and a walk-in pantry.
Take one of two staircases upstairs, where the plush master retreat is outfitted with dual dressing rooms, as well as a luxe bath adorned with brushed French Saint-Beauzire limestone, Japanese architectural tile, a fluted glass screen, Graff faucets, Aquatica vanities and a large soaking tub. Elsewhere in the house are two additional junior bedroom suites, along with a den/TV room and sauna.
Outdoors, the Michael Fiore-landscaped grounds are laced with native plantings, and host a 30-foot pool with a Baja shelf and spa, fire-pit, and sundeck and wraparound balcony providing plenty of room for al fresco lounging and entertaining. Rounding it all out is a detached 1,500-square-foot guesthouse with all the requisite amenities, and an attached two-car garage flanked by a motorcourt.
