Villa Sierra

In the Bird Streets above the Sunset Strip, this Ameen Ayoub-designed home stacks a cedar-clad upper level over a stone base, its black steel frame holding a cantilevered infinity pool that reaches out over the hillside. A wall of glass along the main level opens the living spaces onto the deck, where the city spreads out below in every direction.

Inside, a floating oak staircase rises past book-matched stone walls beneath a double-height entry. The living room centers on a marble fireplace wall, its stone running floor to ceiling beside a bank of glass that slides open to the terrace. The kitchen pairs a waterfall stone island with paneled appliances and open shelving, steps from a dining nook that opens directly onto the outdoor kitchen and grill. A backlit stone wine wall lines one hallway, leading toward a private theater with a wall-sized video screen and a marble-topped bar. Downstairs, a gym opens onto its own cedar sauna and a glass-enclosed steam room.

The primary suite holds its own fireplace and a private terrace over the city, with a freestanding tub and glass-walled shower finished in the same pale stone as the entry. Elsewhere, multiple terraces and lounge decks step down the hillside, each framing the same view from a different angle. Set on a quiet, elevated street in Hollywood Hills West, minutes from the Strip, the house holds its perch quietly — built to be lived in more than looked at.
