W
hen Baron Steinbrecher attained
his real estate license in 2012, his
first order of business was to find
and purchase a property that he could re-
develop and sell. His prayers were answered
when he walked into a broker's open for
an architectural home set in Beverly Hills.
Feeling a special energy about the house,
he quickly pulled together some investors,
purchased it, and two years later sold the fully
renovated residence for a record price on the
street of $12.9 million. Today, the reimagined
abode is once again on the market, complete
with distinguished details including high-end
finishes, a seamless indoor-outdoor flow and
jaw-dropping vistas.
"e most amazing thing about the property
is that is possesses the complete package," says
Steinbrecher, who is co-listing the home with
Mauricio Umansky, both of e Agency, for
$15.8 million. "It's private, set back from the
street with a large driveway, and although
it's modern, the Mid-century architectural
integrity remained intact. e floor plan is
open, but also flexible with all the pocket doors,
and the rooms all have great volume and space
that overlook incredible city and ocean views."
Found at 521 Chalette Drive—behind
gates on one of Trousdale's most coveted
thoroughfares—the four-bedroom, five-bath
dwelling was completed (using some existing
foundation) by architect Christ Light of
C.J. Light Associates and Gordon Gibson
Construction. Expect 5,638 square feet of
sexy, Josh Brown-designed living space on
a single level highlighted by a soaring, open
great room with a Portoro marble fireplace,
and a dining area lined with Fleetwood
walls of glass that open to attractive grounds
spotlighting grassy lawns, a zero-edge infinity
pool with floating spa and cabana with a
fire feature. Yet other standout attributes: a
professional chef 's kitchen with Calacatta
gold counters and backsplash; plush screening
room; and spacious master suite and spa-like
bath offering direct access to a private patio
and pool terrace.
"is property perfectly blends the
authentic, Mid-century Trousdale Estates
vibe with a modern but timeless design," says
Steinbrecher. "ere is a special energy people
feel when they walk through the door that is
only magnified by the incredible views."
Once sold for a record price on its Trousdale street, this complete-
package propert y is now gracing the market for $15.8 million
