Soccer in the Hills, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


I love the Hilton & Hyland listings because there area always so many pictures to let you really get a comprehensive look at the place. Today's home belongs to L.A. Galaxy coach Ruud Gullit. The former soccer star has listed his home in the Hollywood Hills for $4.25 million. This one, built in 1937, has a lot of charm. It's located on a private knoll in West Hollywood and is positioned for lovely views of the city below. It has a step-down living room with a wood-burning fireplace that opens to an outdoor pool and spa area which has a covered lounging cabana at the opposite end of the pool. The home has been remodeled with a new kitchen and a beautiful master bedroom suite with a steam shower, sunken bathtub and French doors that open onto a balcony overlooking the city. There are four bedrooms and five bathrooms total in this home. I suspect this one will go quickly, it's absolutely move-in ready.
