What do you dream of?I loved visiting the 2 story luxury penthouse at LEVEL Furnished Living with Amy Ramskill.
Ian Brooks from Berkshire Hathaway Home Services (Real Estate) called this unique 18,000 square foot home a “Mansion in the Sky!” Brooks would know as he sold Meryl Streep’s house to A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez), Jane Wyatt’s home in Bel Air and several of producer Paul Weitz’s houses. His specialty is luxury real estate and he told me he loves this property because “it is uber luxurious and packed with every desirable amenity and luxury. It is simply a must have for the elite downtowner!”
It is fully furnished and has four bedrooms, ten bathrooms, four kitchens and two living rooms. I loved the balconies and the 50 foot rooftop pool was the perfect place to watch the sunset. There is also a twelve-person hot tub, steam room and an outdoor dining area for fourteen with BBQs, a fire pit, and lounge area. The 360 degree panoramic views are simply stunning from both the 34th and 35th floors.
Find it at 888 South Olive Street in downtown Los Angeles at Onni’s luxury apartment building, LEVEL Furnished Living, I spoke with Javier Cepeda, Regional Vice President of LEVEL Los Angeles, who told me: “This is an exclusive opportunity for a high-rise lifestyle above any other in LA. Downtown LA has been reimagined as a chic new hub for culture and entertainment. For this reason, the penthouse has been meticulously and lavishly designed for someone aspiring for more than the modern conveniences. You won’t find anything else like it in LA.” Not only it is beautiful, but it is also centrally located only a short walk to The Staples Center, LA Live, the Fashion and Financial Districts, many upscale restaurants, bars and lounges and a Whole Foods grocery store.
It is truly a marvel. I loved the 480 sq.ft. walk-in closet in the master bedroom, the two temperature-controlled wine rooms behind 10-ft glass walls which hold more than 1,000 bottles of wine and the media room with automated projector screen and plush seating for fifteen guests.
At LEVEL you will also find luxury extras like butler services, a 24-hour front desk concierge, valet and individual assigned parking, housekeeping services AND preferred rates at LEVEL DTLA for friends and family!
