After nearly seven years in development, 1859 is now known as one of the premier tri-level
estates in coveted Bel Air offering impeccable attention to detail, an unmistakable eye for global
design, and one of the finest vast view lots in Los Angeles. The sleek curvature of the exterior of
the house is a work of art in itself, with clean lines, geometric shapes, and a contemporary design that exudes sophistication and elegance. An eco-green living wall, and a manicured pathway above a striking water feature encompass the 350-foot width of frontage and lead to a moment of arrival, peering above the clouds and extending to the views of the Ocean, Catalina Island, and the canyons from Bel Air.
