Adjoining this cavernous space is a state-of-theart kitchen that serves out into the great entertainment spaces, which in turn flow out onto the lush pool and gardens. The home also features a theater, a complete gym, an office, a spa with a massage area, a laundry room, and much more. Venturing outside through the motorized Fleetwood glass doors, guests will find open patios, a fireplace, a deck with built-in seating and a fire pit, the pool and spa, and a full kitchen/BBQ/ bar. There’s also an attached garage showplace for three cars. Finally, the estate offers stunning canyon and sunset views that punctuate the remake of the legendary celebrity hangout. Trousdale Estates is just minutes from Rodeo Drive and the Sunset Strip. An interesting side note, the estate was once owned by actor David Janssen, who was the star of the hit TV drama “The Fugitive.” The neighborhood was also called home by Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis, Elvis Presley, and Ray Charles back in the day. Phil Butler is a publisher, editor, author, and analyst who is a widely cited expert on subjects ranging from digital and social media to travel technology.
