Like Odysseus lashed to the mast, pop icon Rihanna finds herself irresistibly drawn to the lavish allure of a Los Angeles penthouse, only to hastily retreat ere the siren call of opulence overwhelms. The Barbadian songstress originally purchased the palatial Century City abode—formerly owned by late actor Matthew Perry—for $21 million less than a year ago. Yet scarcely had she crossed the threshold before deciding to return this urban Xanadu to the market, its unpackaged potential awaiting the next resident seeking a pleasure dome amid the cityscape.
The sprawling aerie, occupying an entire floor, tantalizes with 9,290 square feet of elegantly appointed space. Designers have crafted an oasis of contemporary sophistication, seamlessly blending formal dining, screening room, game room, and expansive terraces with postcard-worthy vistas. The chef’s kitchen dazzles with top-of-the-line appliances and easy flow between family room and outdoor dining. The master suite provides a sanctuary for repose, with sweeping views, lavish baths, and luxury finishes.
Truly, this “peak of perfection” crowning The Century building beckons the next Croesus who would offer the required $24.95 million tribute and make this Olympian height their urban acropolis. Convenient to shopping and entertainment, yet cocooned in nearly four private acres, it epitomizes the art of sophisticated living. Like the mythical Sirens, its siren song lures those seeking a singular perch above the city. Will you be the next Odysseus to answer its irresistible call?
