Coolest House on Caravan: 10575 Selkirk Ln.


10575 Selkirk Ln.
Listing Price: $5,995,000
Bedrooms: 5
Bathrooms: 5


MLS Remarks: Perched high on a private promontory, this estate is one of 2 west-facing properties that overlook Stone Canyon Reservoir. Surrounded by greenery & w/ tranquil views over the reservoir & Bel-Air, this celebrity retreat on almost half an acre was built in the mid 1990s & has been completely renovated.












From the entry in the approximate 2,604-square-foot main house, steps lead up to a spacious living & dining area defined by a high wood ceiling & hardwood floors. Directly outside the great room is a large terrace for entertaining & barbecuing, a pool & spa, and a gazebo for watching sunsets.


















A contemporary kitchen, media room & powder rm are also on the main level. On the lower level is the master suite, w/ views over the reservoir & French doors leading out to the lawn, plus 2 more bedrooms, bathrooms & laundry. The separate 1,440 sq ft GH has an open living area w/ a full kitchen & separate office. A spiral staircase leads up to a loft bedroom.














Kessler's Comments: This gated estate is a trophy property in an uncommonly beautiful setting. Ocean views are lovely, however these views of the stone canyon reservoir are every bit as magical. The property features two separate structures, both of which have their own unique contemporary style, and are designed to take full advantage of the striking views of the reservoir and nature that surrounds. I love this listing!


On the one hand, people might assume its a big price for a home that's accessed from Beverly Glen Canyon, but on the other hand, it affords very similar views and lifestyle to homes located on Bel Air Rd. See it, Show it, Decide for yourself.







Note
: This residence abuts the site where George Harrison's home existed back in the 70's, and legend has it that George was allowed to fish in the reservoir.
