Famed architect Mark Rios has achieved something worthy of a standing ovation. When it comes to scale, magnitude, style, elegance, and oddly enough despite its inconspicuous outline, subtlety โ 833 Stradella in Bel-Air knocks it out of the park. As per the official listing, this is an 11,000 square foot residence which โepitomizes the contemporary Los Angeles lifestyle of seamless indoor and outdoor livingโ.
833 Stradella was initially designed by Riosโฆ for Rios. With 6 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and 3 powder rooms, thereโs more than enough rooms for a fair few activities here; as well as more than enough room for every given resident to have their own space if, for some reason, they donโt happen to enjoy the company of whoever they cohabitate with. It simply wouldnโt be LA with a little bit of that going around.
On the topic of dislike for other people, one of the most attractive aspects offered by 833 Stradella is how incredibly private it is, an indulgently luxe safe haven โsurrounded by lush landscaped gardens, pathways, and tranquil scenes of natureโ. Almost removed from the everyday in more than one sense.
Making ample use of glass to open the voluminous living room to a bit of natural lighting, the breathtaking vantage point isnโt the only thing you can enjoy at this section of the property. Thereโs also a 60-foot infinity pool which apparently serves as an โeverchanging reflective art pieceโ. Accompanying this pool is a pavilion area specifically for entertaining โ outdoor kitchen, bar, dining area, and fire pit.
Navigating along, a formal dining room is the next stop on this tour โ dramatically lit and tasteful down to the finishing touches. Case in point, the hardwood floors have all been imported from Germany, having undergone a specialised drying process in a kiln.
Onto the master suite โ where the magic supposedly happens โ one can expect a walk-in wardrobe, separate heated stone-floored bathroom, and what appears to be a private balcony for an obligatory slice of the views.
Other highlights include the following:
- cabana
- chefโs kitchen & scullery
- sun deck
- gym
- spa & steam room
- office/study
- library + lounge
- state-of-the-art screening room
- guest suite with game/pool room
- large outdoor terrace
- elevator
- security office
- Crestron complete home automation system
- large private & gated motor court + separate staff entry/parking
As for the extraordinary number thatโll grant you complete ownership of 833 Stradella, it comes to US$29,500,000.
