A perfect luxury apartment is for sale. In the Century Towers residential complex in Los Angeles, an apartment owned by Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas is currently on the market. It offers breathtaking views, a pool, sauna, and a gym.
The rustic style with earthy tones will mainly appeal to lovers of the good old times.
You can tell its quality! The towers were converted into apartments in 1973. At the entrance to Century Towers on Avenue of the Stars, you are welcomed by a water fountain, designed in the 60s of the last century by renowned architect IM Pei. The view is magnificent! The 23rd floor of a 28-storey building is certainly a big challenge.
After more than ten years, the current owner is selling an apartment, which carries a significant mark of a famous couple. The owner herself is not completely unknown either.
Price? 7 million dollars...
If we look into the history of the house, we will find that Hollywood stars bought this apartment in the late 90s of the 20th century, in their heyday. Moreover, they had quite a lot of work with his transformation. It is a combination of two apartments that the couple gradually bought.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas then bought two adjacent apartments, corner apartment units and combined them into one large apartment. As a result, a truly grand space was created, which could rival even smaller residences.
In 2003 they then sold the apartment. The entire combined apartment was sold to Leonard Lauder and his wife. Does that name sound familiar? Yes, he is the son of billionaire and magnate Estée Lauder. The price of the apartment in Century Towers at that time was 1.85 million dollars.
Over the years, this apartment complex has been home to various celebrities. For example, Diana Ross, Lana Turner, Berry Gordy, Burt Lancaster and Karen Carpenter.
Some American reality shows were also filmed there, for example Million Dollar Listing.
If you're expecting something sharply modern, white, gray and full of sharp corners and impractical nooks, you're mistaken. You won't find anything overly modern here.
On the other hand, every piece of this apartment breathes nostalgia, which slightly reminds of the good old eighties and nineties. Quality, stability, robustness. And a stunning 2,600 square meters of space.
You will also find quality materials in the floors, furniture, kitchen and in the upholstery. Wherever you look, you feel pure comfort and honest interior work.
Dark brown furniture and warm ochre and brown accessories along with friendly lighting create a masculine apartment feeling, scented with leather chairs and real polished wood. Slate cladding completes the warmth and luxury.
The focus of the apartment is a spacious living room in a peach and brown shade with sliding glass doors to the outdoor dining terrace. The dining room with a bar is equipped with premium stainless steel appliances.
The bedroom offers an airy view of the Hillcrest Country Club golf course. Two generous dressers and a polished table add a touch of quality and relaxation.
In the bathroom, you will find a free-standing spacious bathtub, a separate shower, and again gorgeous slate tiles.
This house, a piece of living Hollywood history, is definitely sought after by celebrities.
Not the least because it includes round-the-clock security, a guarded entrance gate, valet parking, fitness centers, a swimming pool, a putting green, and tennis courts.
