924 N. Hillcrest Road — Built in 1956 Mid-century Modern

5 Bedrooms $33.75 million

 

Originally built in 1956 by noted architect Hal Levitt, this Mid-century Modern home dubbed “The Skouras Residence” has accommodated many high-profile owners through the years. Among them: Ellen DeGeneres, interior designer Kelly Wearstler, and currently, a prominent Hollywood producer. The five-bedroom abode has since been remodeled to perfection, complete with 8,000-plus square feet of one-level living space highlighted by a light-filled entry that opens to a living room, bar, lanai and game room.

Yet other stand-out features include a music room; library; chef’s kitchen with butler’s pantry; opulent master suite with dual baths; and a pool flanked by an outdoor lounge.

 

“This house is the epitome of Mid-century style and substance,” says Stephen Shapiro of Westside Estate Agency, who is listing the gated Trousdale Estates property at 924 N. Hillcrest Road for $33.75 million.
