his modern Bel-Air manse, set on 1.5 acres high atop the
Sunset Strip, has served as a celebrity hideaway for good
reason. e private lair previously rented by U2 front-man
Bono, rapper Future and Middle Eastern royalty, to name a
few, is "one of the most private homes in the Bird Streets," according
to Hilton & Hyland's Drew Fenton, who is representing the sale of
the six-bedroom, 12-bath estate at 1380 Mockingbird Place with
James Harris of e Agency. Note, for instance, the gated entrance
almost camouflaged by its tropical surroundings that opens to reveal
a driveway that travels for 700 feet before emptying out at an exclu-
sive resort-like oasis with a backdrop of unobstructed jet-liner views
from Downtown L.A. to the Pacific.
Now on the market for $48 million, the mansion, which is
owned by the Bird Streets Trust LLC, also offers 14,000 square
feet of refreshed interiors filled to the brim both inside and out
with upscale touches and amenities like white oak flooring, strik-
ing sculptures and floor-to-ceiling walls of glass throughout, as
well as its own exterior fitness facility. Adding to the home's Cali-
fornia-cool factor: a gourmet commercial-style kitchen; screening
and game rooms; and six bedrooms (including a spacious guest suite
and 2,500-square-foot master retreat outfitted with dual terraces
and a fire-pit).
en there's the expansive outdoor grounds, which hold court
as an entertainer's dream with a motor court providing space for
20-plus cars, sparkling pool and spa, built-in barbecue, and viewing
deck for dining, lounging and relaxing. And lest one doesn't like the
current digs just the way they are, the estate comes with an approved
dirt haul-out permit to create a subterranean floor and plans for a
new 31,000-square-foot contemporary compound designed by the
South Africa-based architecture firm SAOTA.
An enviable oasis, a contemporar y home in the select Bird Streets
enclave epitomizes the California-cool lifest yle.
