Here is another description. Assuming from the listing agent in 2013 (looks like a 6 month listing they took off the market in October)
SITED LIKE A WATCHTOWER OVER LOS ANGELES, this Moderne-influenced contemporary home sits on a large corner lot with expansive views of city lights, neighboring hills, and sweeping blue-sky vistas. An ornate iron and glass Deco-style front door (with intercom) allows light into the home’s foyer and sets the stage for what visitors are about to encounter.
Deco subtleties infuse the public rooms. Ebony floors bounce light to gently coffered ceilings. A soft gray palate for most surfaces provides au current styling and always-“in” classic levels of taste.
A large curving staircase with a two-story curving glass wall block window and custom-built frosted glass light fixtures is one of many focal points at this property.

The living area of this home is an entertainer’s paradise. Banks of single-light French doors are on either side of the room. One row opens onto a balcony with views of the city. The room’s other doors expose the beautifully landscaped yard and outdoor entertaining areas.
A chef’s kitchen with its commercial-grade Viking appliances awaits today’s gourmet cook. An over-sized kitchen island provides room to pull-up stools while the master preps. The kitchen’s most glamorous—and functional—feature is it’s circular dining booth. Curving panels of glass look out to views of a Jurassic-style oasis in the back yard. This booth sets the mood for an early breakfast with the paper, a casual dinner with pals, or a poker night with the boys. All that’s missing is Mildred Pierce taking an order.
Formal dining is made possible by the house’s private dining room (right off the kitchen). While seated, you have views of twinkling city lights and a custom, climate-controlled floor-to-ceiling wine wall that displays all your best fine wines and spirits through its glass doors.
Separate from the home’s formal rooms is a den with a fireplace. A large fixed-panel window and French doors offer views of the meticulously manicured grounds. A built-in BBQ is just outside the den’s French doors, making this room perfect for hanging-out in while cooking outdoors and catching part of the game inside.
Enter this home’s palatial master suite through lacquered double doors. A Moroccan-style sitting room with panoramic views makes the perfect pit-stop to unwind before heading to bed or bath. Fall asleep (or stay up all night) with “headboard” views right in front of you, while a fire burns in the bedroom’s custom fireplace. The highly-desired south-facing views do have a “down-side”…lots of SoCal sun! Custom shades allow for opting-out and sleeping-in.
The suite also has a south-facing balcony big enough for full-size chaise lounges.
The master’s spa-quality bathroom features a separate over-sized jetted tub and steam rain shower - both with views of the great outdoors (with no one looking in) and double sinks and back-lit vanity. A water closet features built-in bathroom storage (in addition to the massive vanity). The master bathroom’s circular terrace is the perfect place to lounge and cool-down after a steam. A room-sized walk-in closet (with custom closet system) completes this impressive owner’s retreat.
A spacious guest bedroom is situated outside the master wing with views over-looking the backyard and grotto. A large bathroom with custom tiled shower provides the perfect guest get away. A laundry room is also conveniently located on the bedroom level.
The home’s versatile lower level (with separate street access) is currently set as a gym with separate media room. This space also features a large bathroom with a walk-in steam room. This additional, hard-to-find space would be great for a long-term guest suite, for a live-in employee, recording studio, or movie theatre. Or, simply used as the home’s third bedroom.
A lushly landscaped backyard offers stunning entertaining spaces. A one-of-a-kind Playboy Mansion-style grotto—with its own waterfall--is perfect for a wild night or just relaxing alone at the end of a long day. This over-sized spa is thoughtfully positioned to look back at the stunning facade of the rear of the house.
Vine-covered arbors float above flagstone patios in the home’s backyard. The covered patio areas scream “throw an outdoor dinner” and/or “host my best friend’s wedding.”
Throughout the yard are Japanese maples (green and red), African tree ferns, and mature hedges. And what would any respectable Sunset Strip home be without its own palm trees and citrus grove? There are also plenty of grassy spots for Rover and his pals to play and doze.
Speaking of Rover, an over-sized two-car garage provides off-street parking and plenty of extra storage space. The garage offers private entry into the home’s walled and gated backyard area…steps away from the house.
This modern take on a Moderne home has what the Sunset Strip homeowner looks for: Prestige, privacy…perfection.
Yeah I see redecorating and color changes too! But I love the modern structure, landscaping, and the VIEW! And the 'grotto spa' just WOW! 
While looking at the rooms I kept thinking about what Adam could do with them and how his art work etc. will really look amazing in that house!
