With major inspiration drawn from bridges and waterfalls on the Pacific Coast Highway, designer Michelle Chen created an exquisitely sculpted home with natural elements and California charm with an Asian twist.
to me toptenrealestatedeals.comElementi, the gorgeous home located in the exclusive Beverly Hills area of Trousdale Estates, was recently listed with $ 65 million, or Bitcoin equivalent, of $ 65 million.
No stranger to drama or opulence, Chen’s skill in design carries it through his extensive travels around the world, as a set designer for Warner Brothers, furniture designer in Milan, parks designer in Hong Kong and designer and developer of luxury homes across Southern California.
The Elementi facade displays Michael’s inspiration at the entrance to the bridge to a large front door pivoting over the water flowing down the dining room suspended over a low patio, then continuing into the foyer downstairs.
The home is 18,000 square feet and contains seven bedrooms and fourteen bathrooms, a large marbled room with ocean views, an open rooftop to basement foyer, chef’s kitchen and butler pantry designed so cooking takes place away from the clean and simple lines of the main kitchen.
The main cantilever suite has a balcony and glazed walls looking out onto the views, as well as double bathrooms covered in marble and one with skylight. Elementi is the only house in Trousdale Estates permitted in the basement for daylight, which can be accessed via a spiral staircase of Venetian plaster.
The basement / ground floor is designed around recreation and the pièce de résistance: a 150-year-old imported Mediterranean olive tree in the foyer. There is also a 2,000-bottle wine cellar, wellness center, gym, office, and home theater.
One of the most attractive homes in Southern California, Elementi is listed with Michael Chen and Aaron Kirman of Aaron Kirman Group in Compass, Los Angeles.
