3 Bedroom Villa for Sale at 1070 N Hillcrest Rd, California

Some homes just have a way of making you pause the second you walk in and this one in Trousdale Estates really does that. You stand in the entry and the first thing that hits you is the natural light bouncing off the stone fireplace. It's not fancy in that overwhelming way. More like it feels rich in stories. You almost want to reach out and touch the cool marble or just lean against the frame of those huge Fleetwood glass doors for a second. I did exactly that and even though Los Angeles is always humming somewhere in the distance you find yourself just listening for the breeze for a minute.

This villa is a true mid century modern by Paul Williams and you can see it in all the little things. The way the open plan living area kind of flows from one zone to the next so you never feel closed off. If you ever get tired of cooking boxed mac and cheese there's a real chef's kitchen here that probably makes you want to try your hand at something homemade again. The emerald cabinetry is actually, honestly, beautiful. You get these warm gold details too and the marble worktop is the kind of thing you run your hand across when no one's looking because it really is that nice. And if you like a bit of vintage charm you'll spot an AGA range that feels like it belongs right here. It just fits.

What I noticed too is the way those massive sliding doors open straight onto the outdoor patio. One moment you're inside talking to someone at the kitchen island and the next you're stepping out where you can take in proper Beverly Hills and skyline views. Some days you can catch the ocean on the horizon when the sky is clear. Morning here is always something special. Sounds from the city soften and you just get birds in the garden and sunlight peeking through the leaves.

Both main bedrooms are tucked away and honestly each feels calm. You get these spa bathrooms with beautiful finishes and private doors that lead right outside. Sometimes you look out and almost forget what time it is. The whole place feels quiet in a good way. The third bedroom works as a lovely spot for guests or maybe an office if you need that. Either way everyone gets some space to breathe.

When you step outside the backyard really opens up. The pool is sparkling, tucked beside a wide patio that's big enough for a dozen friends and still has room left if you want to do nothing at all. You can just roll a towel out, close your eyes, and feel like you're far from everything even though Beverly Hills is just over the hill. The grounds are kept tidy but with enough green that it doesn't feel stiff. Sometimes you spot a neighbor out for a walk in the afternoons or kids biking past and it all just feels sort of lived in and welcoming.

The driveway is gated so you get that bit of extra privacy and security and the garage is attached which actually makes life simple. You just come home, pull in, and you're already inside. No fussing with street parking or busy roads.

This isn't just a home. It really is a piece of architectural history. There's something about knowing you're living somewhere made by Paul Williams that gives the whole place a sense of meaning. If you care about that kind of thing you'll definitely notice.

And honestly there's only so much I can say to do it justice. The only way to know if this Beverly Hills villa feels right is to come and see it for yourself. Reach out if you want to have a look or just want to talk about what it's like. At LuxuryProperty dot com we like to keep moving home as easy and comfortable as it ought to be.
