“You can see all the way from the Pacific Ocean to downtown L.A.,” said listing agent LeLand Jackson, of Revel Real Estate.
From north-facing windows in the three-bedroom apartment, you also have views of the mountains and the Getty Museum.
The 500-square-foot downstairs apartment offers a kitchenette and a full bathroom, “perfect for staff quarters, a secondary office or an additional guest room,” according to the listing.
Because of this extra unit, the listing comes with a third space in the underground parking garage, Jackson said.
The 24-story, 78-unit building is designed to be “paparazzi-proof” with 24-hour security, high hedges and private elevators that open directly into the units, according to published reports.
Celebrities who have lived at the Carlyle reportedly include Bruce Willis, Larry King, Donna Summer, Candy Spelling, Paul Anka and former Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp.
A previous owner of Unit 1904 was an art collector, and the walls have great spaces for art, Jackson said.
Other design details include 11-foot ceilings, a fireplace, a laundry room, built-ins, wide hallways, floor-to-ceiling windows, moldings and baseboards, hardwood floors in the living spaces and carpeting in the bedrooms.
The kitchen has premium Miele appliances, a dining area and an island with seating, according to the listing. The primary retreat includes a marble-clad en suite, a dedicated private office and a large closet.
“The kitchen has a great view of the northern mountains and the Getty,” Jackson said.
From the private elevator, “you walk right into a private foyer, which opens to a semi-formal living area and then a formal living area, with the dining area to the right,” he said.
The Carlyle has particularly good amenities, Jackson said. “They have a great gym there and a pool and spa and outdoor seating areas.”
“You’ve got five-star service there,” he said. “The concierge is very helpful.”
