Stevie Wonder once graced the music room of this expansive 21st-floor penthouse in Los Angeles during his residence in the ’90s and early 2000s. Following a multimillion-dollar, no-expense-spared transformation, this extraordinary 6,600-square-foot property, boasting an expansive 5,500-square-foot rooftop terrace, is now available for $21 million.
Known as Villa del Cielo, this exceptional residence crowns the Grand condo tower at 10445 Wilshire Boulevard, conveniently situated near Beverly Hills. Its extensive rooftop deck offers breathtaking helicopter views encompassing the iconic Hollywood sign, the downtown Los Angeles skyline, the Hollywood Hills, and a glimpse of the Pacific Ocean on the horizon.
James Harris, Principal and Listing Broker at the Agency, describes it as a one-of-a-kind property, perfectly suited for those who relish entertaining guests.
The comprehensive two-year renovation, documented in records that indicate the property’s last sale in 2021 for $5.5 million, involved a meticulous transformation from the ground up. The penthouse now boasts six bathrooms adorned with travertine stone floors and walls, 10-inch-wide European white oak flooring in the living areas, professional-grade Gaggenau appliances in the kitchen, and exquisite lighting fixtures sourced from Australia’s Articolo Studios. Additionally, approximately 3,000 square feet of outdoor space has been seamlessly integrated.
Though the penthouse features four bedrooms, the primary suite is truly indulgent. It offers floor-to-ceiling windows, a separate lounge area, twin walk-in closets, and a bathroom showcasing a custom-made sculptural stone soaking tub. The outdoor space has been adorned with Brazilian ipe-wood decking, revealing faint traces of the previous owner’s pickleball court beneath the boards.
Enhancements to the terrace include the addition of a “clubhouse” equipped with a full bar and bathroom, an outdoor firepit, and glass balustrades. For those in need of a discreet exit, steps lead up to the building’s helipad, providing privacy from the prying eyes of paparazzi.
One notable absence is a swimming pool or hot tub, as these amenities are available within the building, along with a state-of-the-art gym, offering residents an array of leisure options.
