Beverly Hills Spec House with $12,000 Coffee Maker Hits the Market

A not-yet-built Los Angeles home with plans for a bowling alley and a $12,000 coffee maker is going on the market for $45 million. Developers Jay Belson and Michael Palumbo said they would be demolishing the existing home on the site and starting over, with construction starting in March and lasting about 18 months. The developers closed on the site earlier this year for $8.05 million, according to public records. The seven-bedroom contemporary to come will measure about 15,600 square feet when completed, according to listing agents Joyce Rey and Christopher Damon of Coldwell Banker Previews International. Located on roughly half an acre in the Beverly Hills Post Office area, the house will sit on a promontory with ocean, city and canyon views, they said. In addition to the two-lane, indoor bowling alley, amenities will include a 20-seat home theater and a “wellness center” with a massage room, gym and lockers. Mr. Palumbo said the master suite on the top floor will have a breakfast bar with the iPad-controlled, built-in coffee station—which brews coffee at the touch of a button and dispenses hot and cold water and milk. The master will also have a private terrace with a built-in hot tub and outdoor fireplace. The house will be sold fully furnished, the developers said. Plans for the main level of the home call for a large outdoor dining and entertaining space with a roughly 70-foot-long infinity-edge swimming pool, which will spill over into a water feature on the level below, the developers said. The home will have several water features; a house Mr. Palumbo designed that was surrounded by a moat “was really well-received,” Mr. Palumbo said, selling for $31 million in 2014, so “we upped the ante with some of the water features on this house.” This article originally appeared in The Wall Street Journal.
