Stats: The 4,000-square-foot home includes three bedrooms, a

to the HVAC, all from a single remote. (Click image to enlarge); function voidFunc() { } voidFunc();)
What Sets It Apart: “This is not
your typical spec house. The furnishings are a mix of vintage ’60s and ’70s
pieces along with some more contemporary items—everything was hand-selected so
that it doesn’t feel at all cookie-cutter,” says Realtor Scott Segall. “Everyone
who walks in says it’s one of the sexiest houses they’ve ever seen. The view
from the swimming pool at night is really unbelievable—you can see all of Los
Angeles lit up.” (Click image to enlarge)Market Inquiries: $8.5 million. Bennett Carr and Scott Segall, Prudential California Realty, 310.777.7800, www.bennettcarr.com
