This historic estate in the sought-after Riviera
section of Pacific Palisades was originally built
in 1933 in the Streamline Moderne style for
Grand Hotel author Vicki Baum, and it has since
served as home base for the late English actor
David Niven, as well as actress and comedian
Whoopi Goldberg. Found on a 24,000-square-
foot parcel of land along the desirable Amalfi
rim, the private and gated residence has been
modernized through the years, but still retains
many of its original features. Think a black-
and-white checkered floor in the foyer, crown
moldings, ornate fireplaces, a pub and an
onyx-clad master bath. Combine these assets
with a spacious remodeled kitchen equipped
with a large island and high-end appliances
that overlooks an attractive stone-rimmed pool,
as well as a detached guest house, and one
finds a "…home [that] last sold over the asking
price nearly two years ago," says listing agent
Dan Urbach. "The property now is back on
the market at a higher price point due to the
resiliency of the Pacific Palisades and Palisades
Riviera markets." -W.B.

This desirable Mandeville Canyon property
offers the rare opportunity to remodel,
enlarge or raze an existing Tuscan-style
villa and create a dream home in the
prestigious 24-hour guard-gated community
of Brentwood Country Estates. "This is
approximately 5.3 acres, where approximately
2 acres is flat for someone to build what
could be one of the best estates west of the
405," says listing agent Santiago Arana of
The Agency. "Arnold Schwarzenegger and
Dr. Dre made this community their home, as
well Tom Brady and Gisele, Heidi Klum and
even Seal." One of only 13 estate sites within
the intimate enclave, the address not only
provides complete privacy, but also sweeping
mountain, canyon and ocean views, along
with a large grassy expanse dotted with fruit
orchards and a lighted tennis court. Those
opting to keep the existing Robert Earl-
designed home can expect 8,500 square feet of
luxe living space lined with oversized French
doors that seamlessly open to reveal multiple
terraces and loggias. -W.B.
