1 bed | 2 bath | 2,000 Sq Ft
This structure was originally built as a telecommunications tower. It has now been renovated into a home and event space with 360 degree views of the surrounding canyons and mountains. The interior features fifteen foot tall ceilings, a massive accordion skylight, and a sunken courtyard with a reflecting pool in the middle.
At an impressive elevation of 2,500 feet above sea level, this remarkable structure stands as one of the highest residential properties in the Santa Monica Mountains. Originally constructed as a telecommunications tower, it once served the crucial purpose of connecting Los Angeles to other parts of the country. Over time, the building has been thoughtfully renovated into a stunning home that boasts panoramic 360-degree views of the mesmerizing Pacific Ocean, the picturesque surrounding canyons and mountains, as well as the sprawling skyline of Downtown Los Angeles.
Tucked away within the futuristic exterior lies a massive operational skylight flooding the bright interior with an abundance of natural light. Various carefully considered details throughout the space evoke a soothing sense of peace and tranquility. From the soft trickle of water in the indoor pool to the inviting cozy seclusion of the second-story reading nook, every corner of the home contributes to its serene ambiance. The exterior features native planted berms, numerous seating areas overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and a converted container swimming pool. There is a strong connection between interior and exterior at this property, as well as a strong connection of the property to the context of mountains and sea. Visitors can wander through the property's native gardens, taking a moment to stop and admire the breathtaking views of Palos Verde and Catalina Island shimmering on the horizon.
Despite its remote and elevated location, this property offers a remarkable sense of being worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, all while remaining conveniently accessible. The design of both the interior and exterior offers a plethora of backdrops and visual effects, ideal for filming and photography. Furthermore, the tower itself can be creatively utilized to produce unique and breathtaking imagery. This is a truly memorable property that not only provides bright and airy interior spaces but also features enchanting night-time lighting and a diverse array of backdrops, both natural and constructed, making it the perfect setting for photoshoots, filming, and music videos.
