Once part of the sprawling Doheny estate, 500 acres of former orange grove were sold off to Paul Trousdale in 1954. Shortly after acquiring the land, Trousdale was successful in petitioning Beverly Hills to annex the land. To this day Trousdale Estates remains one of the city’s most prestigious neighborhoods and home to numerous stunning examples of Mid Century Modern architecture. 
Built in 1962 by architect Robert Skinner, this $12.5 million home has it all. This estate is authentic Mid Century Modern, but has been made more livable and luxurious with contemporary and modern updates throughout.
Gated and made even secluded by dense mature trees, the property is tops on privacy. Two story floor-to-ceiling windows, natural light pouring in from skylights and pool views from almost every room, make this home an icon of its era.
The dramatic entryway leads to a spacious living room surrounded on two sides by glass walls and anchored with that modernism staple, the double sided fireplace.
Additional living spaces are plenty, with a second living room, dining room and another attached family room and “office loft”
The kitchen has been completely updated with warm wood cabinets and polished stone countertops as well as a convenient center island.
The sleeping areas are no less swank, with a master suite and two additional bedrooms with en suites as well as a maid’s room comprising the main level.
A second story, rare under Trousdale Estates’ strict building codes, houses another complete master suite.
The outdoor areas do not disappoint. A stunning and expansive swimmers pool is embraced by the structure.
Bring your glass of wine along on a relaxing lushly landscaped stairway along your property’s hillside.
A terrace complete with al fresco dining areas and outdoor fireplace are perfect for year round enjoyment of outdoor living.
Listing courtesy of Hilton & Hyland. Asking price is $12.5 million.
