MEMO

West Los Angeles Group Publisher Marc Fiore marc@primeluxury.com

Welcome to Prime– West Los Angeles Edition Welcome to Prime and our very first issue covering the luxury real estate market in West Los Angeles. It’s a luxury offering without parallel – the ultimate combination of rich architectural traditions and premium locations. From the sprawling estates of Bel Air, to the homes of the rich and famous in Beverly Hills, to the sun-bathed palatial mansions of Malibu – no other city offers a top-of-the-line luxury lifestyle like LA. The city is home to the finest in dining and amenities, including the world’s most exclusive shopping on Rodeo Drive, as well as a legacy of genre-defining architects whose influence still looms large over the homes featured in this magazine. And did we mention Hollywood, showcasing the world’s finest museums and art collections, as well as a thriving music and fashion scene? No question: Los Angeles offers the full package, connecting oneof-a-kind luxury homes to the quintessential Southern California lifestyle that’s trending and in demand across the globe right now. On that note, we could not have asked for a better time to join the thriving Los Angeles real estate market. Not only does LA rank in a league with the world’s most premium cities, including New York, London, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, it also boasts significant value in luxury real estate and diversity in architectural style and traditions without parallel anywhere on the planet.

Creative Director Luis Rodriguez Graphic Design The Medium Creative Group Contributing Editor Dirk Vogel dirk.vogel@primeluxury.com Sales Director Joe Rafael joe.rafael@primeluxury.com Advertising Account Executive Tim McLaughlin tim.mclaughlin@primeluxury.com Eduardo Umansky from Beverly Hills luxe real estate experts The Agency, it is fit for a king, or Hollywood super hero, as you can see on page 22. Keeping a finger on the pulse of current luxury real estate trends, our regular Trending feature gets the inside scoop from the experts who know best. On page 36 local luxury real estate professionals Sally Forster Jones (John Aaroe Group), Susan Smith (Susan Smith Realty/Hilton & Hyland) and Josh Reef (Hurwitz James Company) answer our question: “What are buyers looking for in a luxury home?”

This sentiment is confirmed by resident real estate expert, Aaron Kirman, interviewed in this issue’s Prime Agent Spotlight. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Kirman knows the ins and outs of LA’s most premium locations like no other (he is currently listing the Danny Thomas residence in Trousdale Estates estate for $135 million) and connects his hand-picked inventory to an elite network of clients all over the globe.

Although personal tastes may vary, the ideal contemporary luxury home looks a lot like this issue’s cover home on page 22, presented by Josh and Matthew Altman of Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

Clients from around the world also have their eyes on this issue’s Prime Property Masterpiece, a unique modern architectural marvel offering private sanctuary and cinematic views in the heart of Beverly Hills. Developed by Richard Papalian and designed by Michael Palumbo together with architect Marc Whipple, the approximately 11,000 square-foot home at 1201 Laurel Way is unique in every way. Presented by Mauricio Umansky, Farrah Aldjufrie and

PRIME PROPERTY MASTERPIECE

The great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright once said, “Space is the breath of art.” This mantra comes to life in the tree-fringed contemporary modern residence perched atop a self-contained Beverly Hills enclosure at 1201 Laurel Way. In a carefully arranged interplay of modern lines, glass-fronted interiors, and lush landscaping, every element combines to emphasize the property’s biggest assets: airy, naturally lit, open spaces, and sweeping, cinematic views of Downtown Los Angeles, the California coastline, and Catalina Island. Speaking of cinematic, the property is the kind of ultra-luxury dwelling fit for a James Bond or a Hollywood superhero. Fully touchscreen-controlled via Crestron Automation System, it boasts a glassencased 5-car garage, 11-seat home theater, and infinite edge pool flowing into a tranquil water channel encircling the entire home. Developed by Richard Papalian and designed by Michael Palumbo together with architect Marc Whipple, the approximately 11,000 square foot architectural masterpiece with a separate guest house (bringing the total to 6 large bedrooms and 9 baths) blends luxe amenities and the world’s finest materials into an ultra-private resort experience. “With its exquisite views, surrounding water elements, natural lighting, and use of rich woods throughout, it really feels like being on a Mega Yacht in the middle of the ocean,” said Farrah Aldjufrie, co-listing agent at LA-based luxury real estate experts, The Agency.

Dark contrasts such as Wenge wood panels, Super Tassos tile, and exotic wood floors radiate warmth. “The designers chose only the best materials with an exquisite eye for quality and attention to detail,” said Aldjufrie. Attention to detail also reflects in the home’s state-of-the-art amenities, including imported, custom-built Italian furniture from brands such as Maxalto and B&B Italia, Antonio Lupe sinks, 6-person Jacuzzi on the Master Deck, Miele appliances in the

“1201 Laurel Way is astonishingly beautiful, a real piece of art in and of itself that tells an entire story. Every detail, every material and all of the elements of the home were meticulously planned and carefully thought out with the aim of maximizing the space and capturing the spectacular views.” – Farrah Aldjufrie, co-listing agent, The Agency.

Entering 1201 Laurel Way through the 14-foot pivoted wood door, visitors are greeted by open, bright spaces framed in floor-to-ceiling glass walls and Schüco sliding doors imported from Germany. A transparent panel in the foyer floors affords glimpses into the 1000-bottle wine room below, one of many carefully arranged architectural features. “The basement is bathed in natural light, so it never feels like you’re in an underground level, and the home theater converts into a light-filled sitting room,” said Aldjufrie. As the meticulously considered floor plan flows seamlessly from room to room, from inside to outside, the home unfolds a color story of white vs. dark chocolate. Whites shine through carefully chosen materials

kitchen, and the elegant Master Bedroom’s 60-inch glass fireplace, 65-inch television and walk-in closet inspired by Rodeo Drive designer boutiques. The home’s seamless flow continues outside, where the zero edge Infinity pool and sunken seating area with custom-built fire features encourage grand-scale entertaining and sharing the unique sunset views with company. Accessed via its own glass spiral staircase, the separate bungalow-style guest house boasts a bedroom suite and gym above the fully finished 5-car garage. “The ideal owner is someone who has an appreciation of luxury and the fine details of the home, and how it all flows together seamlessly. Someone who likes the home’s amazing opportunities to display art, and someone who loves to entertain,” said Farrah Aldjufrie. And even though the sweeping views create a feeling of infinite space on top of the world, the property is located in 90210 proper, only minutes from Sunset Boulevard. “You are right in the heart of Beverly Hills, only 5 minutes away from everything, which is perfect for the modern person who wants the convenience of direct access to the finest in dining and shopping.”

LOS ANGELES LUXURY REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS WEIGH IN ON CURRENT MARKET TRENDS

hen it comes to the Los Angeles area, luxury real estate goes from premium to top shelf to ultra-luxury as price tags shoot into the stratosphere and homes become one-of-a-kind trophy properties. Hollywood plays a role, reflected in the exclusive selection of buyers ranging from award-winning actors and directors, producers and studio heads, all the way to entrepreneurs and start-

up millionaires. Catering to these exclusive buyers requires a constant focus on current trends and demands. For this issue, Prime gets the inside scoop from seasoned L.A luxury real estate professionals Sally Forster Jones (John Aaroe Group), Susan Smith (Susan Smith Realty / Hilton & Hyland) and Josh Reef (Hurwitz James Company) on our question:

WHAT ARE BUYERS LOOKING FOR IN A LUXURY HOME?

SALLY FORSTER JONES

With offices in the heart of Beverly Hills, Sally Forster Jones supports international clients as President of Aaroe International Luxury Properties, a division of John Aaroe Group. Over her +35-year career, Sally has closed approximately $4 billion in total sales – approximately $600 million over the past two years alone – as a luxury real estate institution quoted in Forbes, The LA Times and The Wall Street Journal.

“Luxury buyers are looking for that ‘Wow’factor – that unique characteristic that sets a home apart from all others. Similar to buyers at all price points, location is key but exclusivity is also a huge influence. People want to feel like their home is not only secluded from the chaos of the world, but a private oasis like none other. They are also looking for amenities and quality materials. There is a high value placed on entertainment space with an open floor plan, impressive dining room and gourmet kitchen. A luxury master suite with custom walk-in closets and dual bathrooms is a basic requirement. Other special features are state-of-the-art home systems where your home comes alive at the push of a button. Because we live in Southern California, buyers are often looking for homes that achieve that seamless indoor/outdoor lifestyle and boast features such as infinity pools, water and fire features, outdoor bars, cabanas, sports courts, and parking for plenty of guests. Luxury home buyers are looking for more than just a house, they are achieving a lifestyle.” Contact John Aaroe Group www.sallyforsterjones.com Tel.: 310.691.7888 Email: sally@sfjgroup.com 36 | primeluxury.com

SUSAN SMITH

JOSH REEF

“Today's luxury buyers are looking for a checklist of certain items. One of the most important factors is square footage. In the areas where I sell, these homes are a minimum of 10,000 square feet and either the land has to be a minimum of half an acre, or it must have incredible views. Within the home, the public rooms need to be on a grand scale with high ceilings and wide hallways. The kitchen/family room can not be too big and most of these homes have a secondary kitchen for 'real' cooking. Master suites need sitting area, two baths and the closets can never be big enough. There must be at least three children's bedrooms and an upstairs playroom. Another feature most of these homes have are ‘comfort stations.’ These mini bars are generally in the master, gym and office where the owner can grab a snack without going all the way to the kitchen. These homes must also have entertainment areas which include media room, gym with steam, massage room, staff quarters and wine cellar that holds at least 500 bottles. The grounds will always include a large swimming pool and a guest house.”

“The epitome of a luxurious home is not just a well-appointed home. Rather, it’s a luxurious home boasting amenities allowing the owner to feel lavished upon or spoiled. Think royalty, think opulence, think extreme extravagance. Open floor plans are key today. A home is not luxurious unless it has a grand entryway with a large two-story staircase and an expansive, airy open floor plan. Buyers also want technology, like controlling doors, climate, lights and alarm system literally with a touch of a button on their iPhone. Affluent kitchens will always contain restaurant quality appliances, wine fridges, and plenty of storage via a walk-in pantry, complemented by outdoor kitchens with top-ofthe-line appliances. Buyers are looking for pools, spa amenities and most of all, premium locations: Whether the property be exclusive beach front, or an expansive ranch, all luxury home buyers want the perfect clandestine location. It’s all personal, though. Your version of luxury and style may drastically vary from others, since we all have our own décor tastes and lifestyle goals. However, one thing is for certain – luxury is attainable in your home by including the most modern amenities, technologies and comforts.”

Having moved from South Africa to Beverly Hills in 1971, Susan Smith commands a wealth of experience in luxury real estate. Licensed in 1994, she founded Susan Smith Realty in Beverly Hills and has completed some of the largest transactions on the Westside. Susan sold the most expensive home in Beverly Hills flats at $20,500,000 in 2015, and her affiliation with Hilton and Hyland strengthens her firm’s global exposure and focus.

Los Angeles is really second to none in terms of weather and lifestyle, and the real estate market is unique compared to other world cities.
