In Tarzana, the sultry contemporary estate sits on a long, narrow lot hidden behind ominous black gates and walls. Built-in 2017, the house has an open concept layout with a single, huge room serving as the family, eating, and living areas. The chef’s kitchen is characterized as “spectacular” in the offering, with custom cabinetry, a large SubZero refrigerator, and imported stone. A double-sided black marble fireplace is also present. Two sets of Fleetwood doors open to a loggia with a full kitchen, barbeque, and fireplace.

The main house has six bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom. The upper-level master suite has two private terraces, two dressing rooms, and a resort-style bathroom with exotic wood and stone. A ten-seat home theater, an office, and a subterranean wine cellar with glass walls beneath the grand main staircase are among the other outstanding features of this spectacular house. The most unusual feature is probably the large rooftop patio overlooking the pancake-flat San Fernando Valley, complete with spotlights, a barbecue, and views of the treetops.

The entire 0.35-acre plot has an L-shaped lawn that runs alongside a sizable pool and Jacuzzi. A two-story guesthouse with a second kitchen, an ensuite bedroom, and space for a fitness center is located beyond that. The concrete basketball court at the far back of the property is the best feature, in Shroder’s opinion, since it offers him a private space to hone his professional skills.
