The story
Sun-filled, south- and west-facing top-floor corner penthouse in the heart of West Hollywood's Melrose Village. This spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence with a dramatic loft offers exceptional privacy, abundant natural light, and sweeping, unobstructed views of both the Downtown Los Angeles and Century City skylines. Perched on a hill and rising above the surrounding buildings, the residence enjoys expansive open-sky exposure, dramatic sunsets, and a rare sense of seclusion, with no neighboring buildings looking into the home. With only one shared wall, the residence is remarkably private, quiet, light, and bright throughout. The main living area is defined by soaring two-story ceilings, a gas fireplace, and a striking spiral staircase leading to the upstairs loft-an ideal space for a home office, den, gym, or additional lounge. Large windows showcase the skyline and fill the home with natural light throughout the day. Central air conditioning serves the main level, while a dedicated mini-split system provides separate climate control for the upstairs loft. The primary suite features an oversized walk-in closet with a custom-built closet system and an updated en-suite bath with dual sinks. The custom European-style kitchen is appointed with Italian quartzite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a new dishwasher and faucet, and a bright eat-in breakfast area. A separate dining room provides additional space for entertaining. Two private balconies extend the living space outdoors, both finished with deck tiles and decorative trellises and offering inviting spaces to enjoy the home's elevated setting, open views, and sunsets. Thoughtfully upgraded by the current owner, the residence features new Milgard windows and doors along the south- and west-facing sides, new vinyl flooring upstairs, new staircase carpeting, fresh interior paint, new door locks, and a new full-size washer and dryer in the in-unit laundry closet. The home also offers substantial storage throughout. Set within an intimate, quiet 13-unit, open-air atrium-style building, the property includes a 4K security camera system with 24/7 owner app access and a smartphone-enabled intercom for remotely admitting guests. The gated garage includes two covered side-by-side parking spaces, a large private walk-in storage unit, and HOA-approved installation of owner EV chargers. An exceptional combination of light, privacy, views, indoor-outdoor living, storage, and a prime West Hollywood location. HOA dues include water.
