$15.35 Million Huntington Palisades Home

This newly constructed 12,000-square-foot Tuscan villa house in Huntington Palisades has seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, as well as a movie theater, gym and wine cellar. It was sold for the highest price per square foot in Pacific Palisades in 2012.

$12.95 Million Pacific Palisades Residence

$3.5 Million Los Feliz Estate

The Cummings Estate, the oldest estate in Los Feliz, had not been on the market in five decades. Built in 1905, the 4,000-square-foot Craftsman has five bedrooms and three bathrooms and sits on 0.78 acres.

Laughlin Park's The Cummings Estate

“You get everything from 1920s homes to midcentury to contemporary,” says Richard Stanley at Coldwell Banker Previews International, who recently sold the Cummings Estate, which had been put on the market for the first time in 50 years. “Best of all,” says Wilson, “the area has managed to stay low-profile — most people don’t know where or what it is. It’s like discovering a treasure.”

$13.5 Million West Hollywood Home

This 7,500-square-foot house on Nightingale Drive comes with five bedrooms, a detached guesthouse, gym, wine cellar and downtown-to-ocean views. The Agency’s Eduardo Umansky has the listing.

$12.5 Million Beverly Hills House

$2.9 Million Venice/Santa Monica House

Designed by architect Matthew Royce, this newly built glass, wood and steel house along the Rose Corridor has a roof deck with 360-degree views and a 1,000-square-foot guesthouse. It is listed with Pardee Properties.

Castlelike Moat

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady’s French-style, Richard Landry-designed chateau has a castlelike moat where koi fish stand in for crocodiles. A stone bridge leads to the main entry — but unlike the Sleeping Beauty version, this one doesn’t retract.

Wraparound Water Features

Architect Michael Palumbo created wraparound water features for this newly built 11,000-square-foot house in Beverly Hills. With a screening room, 1,000-bottle wine cellar and six-car garage, the fully furnished residence is listed for $36 million with The Agency.

Street-Level 'Demimoat'

Architect Dan Brunn recently completed this Venice Beach contemporary house, where abundant right angles extend to a street-level “demimoat” that partially surrounds the three-story residence.
