A n imposing residential project, with a sense of boldness, this two-storey 1232 Sunset Plaza, located in the Sunset Strip, near  West Hollywood,  is an exquisite dream home, a luxury resort-like sanctuary, that will conquer your heart, as soon as you see it. The house designed by  Hagy - Belzberg Architects and  is just seconds away from the glamorous  world-class restaurants and shopping spots. Spread over  13,000 square feet, this 8 bedroom house was listed  with a staggering asking price tag of $28 million. To journey beyond the grand gates and soaring pepper tree hedge of this contemporary compound is to enter a secluded, resort-like sanctuary where three distinct structures - a Main Residence, Wellness Centre and Guest House - summon you forward, beckoning you to journey through their space so they can unveil one surprise after another. 114 The Main Residence Open Living at its design best The interior and exterior share a contemporary and luxurious design ethos, with the main residence boasting sweeping panoramic views of the city, afforded by an endless number of vantage points throughout the estate. The stylish lounge has an open view out over the sun deck, from the large L-shaped sofa, where an outdoor seating area huddles around a fire pit–a perfect place for entertaining into the night. A huge kitchen with not one, but two kitchen islands holds cherry wood cabinets and solid marble countertops adding a touch or warmth as the contrasting colours blend suitably with the open living area. Equally stunning are the views of the property itself from within, as architectural and landscape elements serve as artistic expressions and repeatedly delight as one explores the property. Within the lofty interior spaces, rich wood grain has been incorporated across ceilings to add a look of warmth to the pale and spacious design. The basement houses a wine room / cellar which has been furnished with a wine tasting area, viewable through the vast transparent bottle rack, so friends can sit, sample and sip away the evening. Sophistication reins in this décor scheme, where textured feature walls meet twinkling sculpture lights above an array of plush and patterned rugs. A stunning glass walled mezzanine adds a touch of old school glamour as it looks down over the main staircase and out over the property. The Essential Costa del Sol website - www.simplymedia-group.com
