Sunset Strip Perch Home: A Unique Real Estate Opportunity

Experience the charm of a celebrity-owned home in the heart of Los Angeles with this exquisite private estate, which is now on the market for $7,950,000. Located at 8724 St Ives Drive, this stunning property was once home to famed celebrity photographer Herb Ritts and is now being represented by Ernie Carswell.

Property Highlights

Perched above the Sunset Strip, this luxurious estate boasts generous accommodations, including five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. The large chef-equipped kitchen and breakfast room are outfitted with custom cherry wood cabinetry, Sub Zero, and Viking appliances, as well as a lounging area overlooking the front garden.

All public rooms are situated on the main entry floor, surrounded by a large wraparound terrace accessed via steel and glass French doors that enhance the indoor/outdoor lifestyle. The living room/library conceals a hidden surround sound theater, discreetly installed to preserve the Midcentury aesthetic.

Private Quarters and Outdoor Amenities

The private quarters are situated downstairs, featuring four bedrooms and three baths, plus a separate au-pair or housekeeper’s bedroom accessible from the exterior side garden entrance. Outside, the private yard presents specimen trees, a midnight-blue pool, and a cabana complete with a kitchen and full bath, providing an ideal space for relaxation, entertainment, or a guest sleepover as the sixth bedroom.

Architect’s plans exist for a two-story ADU/guest house to be built next to the pool area. These plans are current and ready to submit to the City of Los Angeles for building. Preparation for a Tesla Roof that can power the entire house “off-grid” has also been accomplished.
