About this home
1859 Doheny presents a rare opportunity to restore and modernize an important architectural residence in the prestigious Doheny Estates. Originally designed and conceived by renowned designer and developer Xorin Balbes as the official Esquire Design Show House, the residence offers exceptional scale, dramatic architecture, and explosive city-to-ocean views in one of the most sought-after locations in the Bird Streets. The property's debut in 2009 was a true Hollywood moment, highlighted by a private performance from Christina Aguilera during the home's world premiere event. Combining architectural pedigree, celebrity provenance, and extraordinary potential, 1859 Doheny represents a unique opportunity to reimagine a landmark contemporary residence in one of Los Angeles' most iconic enclaves. Privately positioned at the end of an ultra-quiet cul-de-sac, the two-story residence was designed with soaring volumes, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, expansive entertaining spaces, and walls of Fleetwood glass opening to panoramic vistas across Los Angeles. Amenities include a world-class theater, multiple entertaining terraces, expansive public rooms, and a rare underground carport accommodating five vehicles.The property does require deferred maintenance and cosmetic rehabilitation, including but not limited to repair of several leaks, replacement of the roof, waterproofing around portions of the Fleetwood door systems, replacement of a window in the primary bathroom, hardwood floor refinishing or replacement, modernization of audio/visual systems, and general cosmetic improvements throughout. For a buyer seeking a significant value-add opportunity, the home offers exceptional architectural bones, scale, and pedigree that would be difficult to replicate today.The current owner has been the first and only owner since acquiring the property in 2009 for approximately $9.7 million. Nearly two decades later, the residence remains exceptionally well built, with timeless proportions and authentic materials that still stand apart from many newer contemporary homes currently on the market. The home does not require reinvention, but rather thoughtful restoration and refinement.Offered below its conservative 2025 assessed value, 1859 Doheny represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire and restore a truly significant architectural estate with substantial upside potential. Once renovated, the property has the scale, privacy, views, and architectural integrity to stand a...
