Location: Los Angeles
Price: $7.5 million With the city skyline as its backdrop, this 3,550-square-foot house is set on a long, thin stretch of land above the chic boutiques and bistros of Sunset Plaza. The gated home has three bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms and a saltwater infinity-edge swimming pool. The house was designed by modern Renaissance woman Melanie Mar, a professional matchmaker and former model who discovered a penchant for property development a decade ago and has developed 9 properties since. The three-story Hollywood Hills home is the first stateside project for Mar, a native of England who has appeared on Bravo’s ‘The Millionaire Matchmaker’ and ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.’ Every room—with the exception of the kitchen—has pocket doors that slide open to merge the living spaces with the outdoors. A 700-square-foot viewing deck, accessible from both the master bedroom and a separate staircase, has a built-in bar and a fire pit. And to maximize the home’s views, all the windows face Sunset Boulevard. “You feel like you’re on top of the world,” said Mar. Agents: Billy Rose of The Agency and Aaron Kirman of John Aaroe Group
