10807 Bellagio Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90077

Gated and walled unique Bel Air estate by Hugh Newell Jacobsen commissioned by the former owners of "Architectural Digest" on a quiet cul-de-sac street in prime location bordering on the Bel Air Country Club. Expansive use of glass walls and doors brings exterior elements into close proximity with the interior spaces. This owner-built home was conceived by an architecturally knowledgeable professional couple to balance the need for privacy, entertaining and civic engagement and to accommodate their extensive art collection. The building process took five years to realize a structure that met the architect's exacting standards. Structure accommodates technology changes. Interior includes astounding common rooms, master with separate bathrooms, library, media room, gym, pool, 1 or 2 additional bedroom suites, staff apartment plus too much more to mention in this MLS format.
