With views that may well knock your socks off, this unique home, high in the Hollywood Hills, is sultry and luxurious. Dark walls and silken throws add a sense of romance and glitz to the place. And if you think the incredible swirling staircase with its glass safety rails and huge chandelier make a statement, you should check out the pool with its enviable views right out across the city. Inside, anthracite and slate blend with deep rugs and touches of silver to create thoroughly Hollywood interiors, and if you can take your eyes off the views from almost every window, you're rewarded with unique design features and high-end furnishings. There's a fabulous living room, a grand dining room with a bar and elsewhere, you'll find a sauna, a cinema room and a family room that opens up to the pool area. You can grill your evenings meals with a view like no other and watch the sunset from the huge rooftop terrace – it has 360-degree views. From here, you'll be just a few minutes drive from Sunset Strip and around twenty minutes from all the world-class shops and restaurants of Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
