About This Home
This isn't just another house, it's a statement. Perched above Sunset Boulevard in one of West Hollywood's most coveted enclaves, this iconic mid-century modern is privately tucked behind secure gates and redefines luxury living with razor-sharp architectural lines and cinematic views that sweep from Downtown to the Pacific Ocean. Step through sculptural stainless steel doors into a tranquil entry courtyard, setting the tone for the refined experience that awaits within. The moment you cross the threshold, floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame a sweeping panoramic canvas, stretching from the downtown skyline to the endless ocean horizon. Bathed in natural light, the great room flows with effortless sophistication, anchored by new hardwood floors, a striking fireplace, and expansive glass doors that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. Step outside to an oversized deck that becomes your stage for unforgettable entertaining, from intimate cocktail hours to spontaneous dinner parties. Refined yet functional, the gourmet kitchen showcases textured quartz countertops and bespoke bar seating, complemented by handcrafted Zia tile and top-of-the-line appliances. Upstairs, the primary suite is enveloped in floor-to-ceiling glass walls, opening to a private corner balcony with captivating city views. A romantic fireplace adds warmth and ambiance, while the spa-inspired bath, with its steam shower, oversized soaking tub and dual walk-in closets, invites an unparalleled living experience. Two additional well-appointed bedrooms and a laundry area complete the top floor. The lower-level guest suite is a true sanctuary; a forest-ensconced retreat with a private entrance, awe-inspiring city vistas, and its own expansive deck, perfect as a creative studio, guest haven, or serene escape. Additional highlights include a terraced hillside dotted with citrus trees, a tranquil side patio crafted for utmost relaxation, and ample parking with a two-car garage plus carport. Where jet-set style meets California sophistication. Just moments from the city's most iconic shopping, dining and leisure, 8448 Franklin Ave offers unmatched privacy and sweeping perspectives in a world-class location. One you won't want to miss.
