The house is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a kitchen with lacquered wood cabinetry and Miele appliances and a media/lounge featuring surround sound, a wet bar, a fireplace and a walk-in wine room, according to the listing. There is also a three-car garage and an elevator.
Outdoors, "one of Sunset Strip’s largest pools floats in midair," according to the listing description.
