Skyline on My Mind

All eyes will be on just one thing at this incredible contemporary home in Hollywood Hills West. Set in the serene Laurel Canyon, this place has views that could knock you off your feet.
Built on a steep slope, with everything angled to the rear to make the most out of its elevated position, you'll have two covered balconies spanning the back of the house – each with incredible views over the hills and all the way to the city. And to get the best of these balconies, the architect has created huge expanses of glass, with floor-to-ceiling window walls and picture windows that frame the views like a painting.
Inside, it's chic and ultra-modern, with grey and white the predominant colours. We love the high-spec kitchen, with its dining table and fabulous views, as well as the master suite and its stunning bathroom. It's just a five-minute drive down to Hollywood Boulevard, or head into the hills for some epic hiking.
