It's poor form to discuss square footage in one's personal abode, but nevertheless, there's a certain detail of a Bel Air villa recently listed for sale and reported on by CNBC that will inevitably make you think of how much space you have in your own home. That's because at 2,000 square feet, the master bedroom alone is bigger than many people's entire houses.
Altogether, the villa measures in at 17,300 square feet, making it one of the biggest homes in the entire neighborhood. Tucked away in the Santa Monica Mountains overlooking the Stone Canyon Reservoir, this stunning property boasts nine bedrooms and an impressive 15 bathrooms. However, it's the master bedroom that caught the attention of Aaron Kirman, the broker and host of CNBC's real estate reality show Listing Impossible, who is handling the sale of the property.
According to Kirman, "[The master] is as big as most people's actual houses are…I would say the entire square footage of this entire master is probably around 2,000 square feet. My house is only 3,000, to put that in perspective." This remarkable size is just one of the many appealing features of the villa.
Unveiling the Unique Features of the Villa
The property's mountainside locale allows for some interesting underground features in the house that wouldn't be practical if it were located anywhere else. One such feature is the underground pool, which Kirman also highlighted during the property tour.
He stated, "It gives you the best of both worlds because it's really light in here, yet you have this incredible indoor pool." This duality of natural light and luxury is just a taste of what this villa has to offer.
Also underground, you'll find a game room, a movie theater, and, accessible via a secret passcode, a wine cellar. These unique features make the villa not just a living space, but an experience.
Market Insights and Property Details
The asking price for this luxurious villa is $25 million, which represents a significant price cut compared to the original listing of $32.5 million. This adjustment reflects the extensive renovations that were performed after Kirman took over the listing.
As real estate enthusiasts know, market dynamics can often lead to dramatic price changes, and this villa is no exception. Its impressive features and size make it a notable property in the Bel Air area.
