After hitting the market last year for $21.5 million, a renowned midcentury modern known as Byrdview is back up for sale in a new package. Namely, the circa-1951 home will come on a nearly 8-acre hilltop perch rather than the 14 acres that were previously being offered. The iconic compound near LA, where Frank Sinatra lived in the 1950s and 1960s, is now seeking $12.5 million while the separate 6.52-acre parcel can be purchased for $6.65 million.
Designed by acclaimed architect William Pereira AIA, this glassy spread would have anyone California dreamin’ and the fact that it satisfied suave Sinatra speaks volumes. The estate has a 6,600-square-foot main house overlooking a protected 1325-acre Nature Preserve and a guest house for a total of six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and two half baths. There’s also a stylish 2,000-square-foot pergola lounge area and a separate detached gym/massage/pool house for all one’s wellness needs.
With its clean lines and open spaces, the property truly feels like stepping into a mid-20th-century California scene. So much so that acclaimed period pieces of the time like Mad Men and Dreamgirls used it as a filming location.
Just imagine relaxing by the 50-foot pool or entertaining in the light and bright living spaces with Sinatra songs filling the air. It doesn’t take much to worlds away from stress or prying eyes, especially since the estate sits behind gates and at the end of a 2/3 mile driveway.
For the next buyers of Byrdview, some might say “The Best Is Yet to Come.” Barrie Livingstone of Sotheby’s International Realty has the listing in Chatsworth, California.
