Wilshire Penthouse, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

I don't write too much about condos in Los Angeles but we've definitely got them. For the most part they don't have the appeal of some New York condominiums when it comes to poshness and elaborate style but this one is pretty amazing. It's the double penthouse that takes up half of the highest two floors at The Wilshire on Wilshire Blvd. The condo has a private foyer and a huge and ornate two-story living room with silk draperies, custom rock crystal chandeliers, hand-made carpets and sculpted moldings. The home has a beautiful bronze and iron staircase and balcony detail, a water filtration system, four fireplaces and remote control security monitors. The walnut family room has the look of a European pub with coffered ceilings and a granite bar. The media room has a 100-inch rear screen projection system and there is a formal dining room and separate sitting room. There is a private in-unit elevator which also goes to the upper floor where there is a mahogany office, guest suite and a storage area that includes a hair salon and wrapping room, which can be converted into an additional bedroom. The master suite has an antique marble fireplace, blackout shades and soft pastels. The gentlemen's bath and dressing room has a steam shower and the ladies' bath has a spa and large closet. The building has 24-hour concierge service, 24-hour valet, gym facilities and swimming pool. This condo is listed at $11.5 million.
