This $18.5 Million Home in L.A. Has a Gym Tucked Underneath the Swimming Pool
A multimillion-dollar price tag does not alone make a home a masterpiece. But now and then, a residence with exceptional attention to detail comes to market, which makes it worthy of the designation.
Architect Russell Shubin of Donaldson + Partners is behind one California dwelling that certainly fits the bill. Built with the “highest quality materials,” according to the listing, the facade of the Pacific Palisades stunner prioritizes a fusion of natural materials like wood, stone, and steel that create a lasting first impression. Unique design features like staircases encompassed by slatted Afromosia wood, softly illuminated rusticated stone walls, and one fireplace built into a wood-paneled wall not only add warmth to the $18.5 million gem but also highlight its timeless design. Drew Fenton of Carolwood Estates holds the listing.

Located at 1716 San Remo Drive, the five-bedroom house with interiors by James Magni of Magni Kalman Design sits on a hillside with over 7,500 square feet of living space. Sculpted greenery softens the monumental—and windowless—street facade that’s comprised of buff-colored stone and glossy strips of Afromosia wood. A stone staircase leads to the foyer with a floating walnut staircase, which sits next to the formal living room with a gas fireplace set into a wood-paneled wall, ample wall space for coveted artworks and walls of floor-to-ceiling glass.
The abode’s use of wood continues into the kitchen and dining areas. Bone-colored stone flooring pops against the black base of the kitchen’s massive island with breakfast bar seating. A polished wooden ceiling panel hovers above the dining area and built-in wine cellar, while floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open to an alfresco dining area next to the pool.

Adjacent to the space is the great room with exposed stone walls and a slatted wooden wall feature. A broad bank of sliding glass doors opens onto a stone terrace next to the infinity pool. The unobstructed sunset views further enhance the home’s trophy status.
Other highlights include a second-floor primary bedroom and bathroom with rustic hillside views, a screening room with a full bar, a home office with a wall of built-in display shelves, and, daringly positioned underneath the swimming pool, a detached guest suite/gym that’s complete with a bathroom and kitchenette.
