6-Bedroom Villa for Sale in 218 Strada Corta Road, California, United States

Some homes catch you the instant you step inside. That happened for me as soon as I entered this six bedroom estate in Bel Air, tucked away in its own quiet corner of Los Angeles. I could hear a breeze moving the leaves outside even before I noticed the way the light fills up the foyer. The house just feels calm from the start. Maybe it is the way John Elgin Woolf imagined every space or maybe it is the careful touch of RIOS, the design team who brought everything back to life here. Either way, you get the sense that this Hollywood Regency villa has watched a lot of life's big and little moments, and it is ready for more.

You see these oval windows and these really grand Pullman doors right at the entrance. I was not expecting the mirrored ceilings, honestly. They catch sunlight in all these tiny ways. There are bits that feel classic and then other places that surprise you with how sleek and modern things look. The Red Library Room is off to one side, and it actually feels like somewhere you would go and settle in with a book, or maybe just sit quietly for a while. On the other side, the cocktail lounge is set up to feel easy, like you could have friends over without needing to fuss. Sometimes you find these showpiece houses where everything looks like it is just for catalog photos, but this place does the opposite. Every space makes sense for living day to day.

If you love kitchens, this one stands out. It is black and shiny with steel touches, but it does not feel cold at all. I could tell people actually cook here. The breakfast area juts out in glass and overlooks the pool, the koi pond, and gardens that most people might expect only in movies. I stood by the glass for a bit and watched the water moving around—honestly, it just made the morning feel peaceful. You will also spot formal dining under the big skylights, and the way the sunlight plays across those tables is kind of special, especially in the early afternoons.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a spot where you really notice the details. There are two bathrooms side by side, each spa inspired. They stacked the marble up bold, nothing shy or boring here. Walk in dressing rooms feel generous, not cramped. In the morning, you could step out on the balcony and look straight into the garden without seeing a neighbor, just green in every direction. The air feels fresher somehow. Even going up to the suite is an experience because the staircase curves like a piece of art. You might walk a little slower just to notice how the whole home comes together around you.

Step out back and the Moroccan inspired patio spaces draw you outside. Out here, the days just sort of drift by. There is a custom stone tub if you want to soak under the sky, and on weekend mornings you might see a bit of mist over the pond. Some days you hear kids biking nearby or someone walking a dog past the gates. There is a gym set off quiet in its own spot, honestly the kind of place you might actually use.

One thing people sometimes forget is flexibility. This place already has its own ADU ready entrance, just in case you want to make a guest house or have room for older parents or staff down the road. Whatever comes up, this home feels ready for it. The estate is behind private gates across almost three quarters of an acre, so you feel away from the pace of Los Angeles but never far from any of it. Coffee shops are always a few minutes away, and the best thing about Bel Air is you are in the middle of everything but everyone respects your space.

This home is not just another luxury villa in California. It really is part of Bel Air's story, loved by designers and even featured in Architectural Digest. You can search through a lot of Los Angeles villas for sale and not find one with quite this feeling. The only way to know if it is the right fit is to come see it for yourself.
