Hot Property: the House Where James Bond would Live
Let’s face it, it’s hard to imagine James Bond living in a Tudor.
When we imagine that high-tech, super smart, very suave Secret Agent living in a home, we picture him within the walls of a stylish contemporary with impeccable design and stellar views — do we not?
When I visit the phenomenal home on Arrowhead Drive in the Hollywood Hills overlooking Lake Hollywood, I think to myself:
this is where the literary and film character James Bond will live when he’s ready to make a move from London to the Los Angeles area. It would be perfect for him!
And it would also make sense to all his many fans to think this is where 007 holsters his pistol!
Do you have an inner secret-agent living somewhere inside you?
Featuring state-of-the-art systems throughout, 3001 Arrowhead Drive is a magnificent modern five-bedroom home that was designed by Jeffrey & Rochelle Mills of Mills Studio and completed in 2007.
Published, architecturally significant and recently featured on NBC’s Open House, the residence is comprised of two unique glass and steel boxes perched in and cantilevered from a series of exposed poured concrete walls.
A soaring two-story entry features a stunning use of steel with a glass floor bridge that cantilevers out over the swimming/reflecting pool below and out to the lake itself.
The home features a large living room with walls of glass that fully retract to invite the outdoors in; a floating dining room area that opens to stunning views; two family rooms; state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen; private movie theatre; bar area (to enjoy martinis – “shaken, not stirred“); gym and massage room.
In addition, the master suite is striking with ample use of glass and wood, magnificent views, and a spa-like master bath with picturesque views. Rich finishes used throughout the residence include mahogany siding, and Tigerwood and Alabastrino flooring.
A variety of outdoor spaces from enclosed gardens and outdoor rooms to cantilevered decks and an open sky terrace are integral parts of the home’s experience. This rare offering provides a cutting-edge architectural lifestyle that includes all of today’s required amenities.
If you happen to hear any rumblings that James is looking to relocate to Los Angeles, do him — and his fans — a favor, and make sure he knows about 3001 Arrowhead Drive.
Or… maybe it’s time to unleash that secret-agent that lives inside of you!
