Description
The Shoreham; designed by legendary architect John Elgin Woolf in 1937. This sophisticated, Hollywood Regency-inspired residence, sitting discreetly above the iconic Sunset Strip, is one of only 15 units in this exclusive complex that was originally built to house MGM's leading stars in Golden Age Hollywood, now famed by the historic A-list clad residence directory. Upon entering the cast-iron gates atop the cul-de-sac, guests are immediately greeted by tranquil gardens dotted with stone fountains and regal brick paved patios, a juxtaposition to the panoramic city view backdrop. This ornate 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom penthouse has been meticulously restored, seamlessly blending classic elegance with modern luxury among the likes of Nina Campbell and Phillip Jeffries wallpapers, crown moldings and new wool carpets. A grand living room with mirrored walls, Chateau-style stone fireplace and white shutter windows harmoniously create an enviable entertainer's space. Chef's kitchen, designed by prior owner Tony Di Lembo, showcases an 8 burner Dynasty commercial range and commercial hood, built-in banquet, and an abundance of oak cabinetry. French doors connect the luxurious primary suite, complete with dual closets and whitewashed brick fireplace, to the private, wraparound veranda covered by a chic black and white stripe awning. Unit includes two parking spaces and additional storage locker. Truly a rare opportunity to reside in one of the most sumptuous buildings that seldomly become available.
