Toward the end of last year, high priest of pitchmen Robert Herjavec listed this slick Los Angeles-area contemporary farmhouse for $17.3 million. The property sold toward the end of May of this year, it turns out; Herjavec accepted an offer of $17 million for it.
The 2019-built, seven-bedroom property occupies a sylvan, 1.74-acre piece of Hidden Hills; between the main house and detached guest house, there are seven bedrooms and at least eight baths across 14,400 sq. ft. of interior living space.
In the main house, a two-story foyer leads off a living style that emphasizes scale and materials, coming to a head in the living room, which features a double-height vaulted ceiling, an optional glass wall capped with a bank of clerestories, and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace accent wall clad in bookmatched marble.
There’s quite a bit of wood involved in the design style. In the dining room, a narrow plank ceiling compliments a wide-plank floor in a lighter tone, and the kitchen-dayroom-family room progression gets the same treatment, and another optional glass wall. The dining room also boasts a plank accent wall. LED accent backlighting brings some decadent techy atmosphere into the picture.
Amenities in and around this house include a home theater with a star field ceiling, a library and office, a pool, and a ten-car garage.
The sale prompted Herjavec to invest in a Manhattan high rise while luxury real estate prices in the Big Apple are favorable to buyers. This summer, he shelled out a mere $34.5 million for a superb full-floor unit in the One57 building. Sharks can apparent smell blood all the way from the other coast; the sale price reflected a major loss for the seller.
