This seven-bedroom contemporary residence—which boasts an extremely rare second level—has its roots in the early days of the Trousdale Estates enclave while offering a remarkable blend of prestigious location, beguiling design, modern technology, and spellbinding views. From the days of its groundbreaking, the Trousdale Estates enclave of Beverly Hills promised “life above it all.” Construction began in the middle of the 20th century, when such esteemed architects as A. Quincy Jones, Paul R. Williams, Richard Dorman, and Wallace Neff were commissioned to create homes there. With geometric bones dating to the 1960s, this striking contemporary residence has its roots in that period but has been thoroughly updated with a beguiling design that added a rare, irreplicable second level along with wellness amenities, modern technology, and truly spellbinding views, all in a prestigious location. Beverly Hills, California| Ernie Carswell, Spencer Daley, Sotheby’s International Realty – Beverly Hills Brokerage As the 7,915-square-foot home unfurls across its half-acre hillside vantage, it conjures a soothing sense of ease and openness that feels perfectly apropos for its storied Southern California setting, and the design’s chic modern simplicity furthers that feel. Perhaps its most distinctive quality, however, is its possession of a second level—an exceedingly rare element for this view-defined neighborhood—which solidifies its identity as one of the most extraordinary, desirable estates in the area. Southern California’s “indoor-outdoor living” mandate is taken nearly literally here, with full walls of glass disappearing to erase the boundary between the interiors and the open air. Sophisticated public spaces are seemingly at one with the expansive sun-washed terrace and its swimming pool, spa, fire feature, and built-in grill, fashioning a milieu ideal for easy, breezy relaxing and gathering. A double-sided modern fireplace anchors the versatile main living and dining area, while a state-of-the-art floor projector creates a private screening room in the nearby lounge. Cooks and entertainers alike will appreciate the kitchen, with its impressive 15-foot marble-wrapped island and a hidden scullery or catering kitchen that is outfitted with Gaggenau and Wolf appliances and allows for discreet prepping and plating. Perhaps the most captivating element is the spectacular sculptural staircase, which is a highlight in its own right but also affords access to the covetable second floor. Chief among the seven bedrooms, the primary suite is perched here, where it basks in sweeping city views and enjoys the luxury of a sleek gas fireplace, a truly stunning spa-inspired bath clad in eye-catching marble, and generous boutique-worthy closets. Just on the other side of virtually invisible glass walls is an enviable balcony whose transparent railing ensures that the vista remains dazzling and uninterrupted. A guest guest suite and lounge share in the seclusion and vistas. Additional private quarters include a suite for staff and an attached guesthouse—accessible independently via the entry gates—that offers a kitchenette, a living area, and one restful bedroom. The property also features an array of contemporary amenities: a custom podcast studio; a wellness center that includes a gym, a sauna, a cold plunge, and a bottle-filling station with filtered water; and estate-wide integrated smart home technology. This dedication to the singular nature of 21st-century living ensures that the residence will endure as a bastion of style and substance for decades to come.

Quite possibly. More and more buyers want homes they can live in for life—especially at the top end of the market. 38% of US$10M+ real estate professionals worldwide say homebuyers increasingly want to “age in place,” according to the 2026 Mid-Year Luxury Outlook® agent survey, published by Sotheby’s International Realty, June 15, 2026. U.S. buyers meanwhile pay 22% more per square foot for “multigenerational” homes, configured to let residents enjoy the property throughout their lives, reports “Under the Same Roof: Multigenerational Living in the U.S.” by Realtor.com, May 5, 2026. On top of this, almost one in five U.S. homes purchased by 46-60-year-olds between July 2024 and June 2025 was a multigenerational residence, according to the “2026 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends Report” by the National Association of REALTORSⓇ, April 15, 2026. Even 27-35 year-olds are in on the trend, with multigenerational homes they can age into making up 9% of their purchases, the same study shows.

From Homer to Hollywood, Greece’s luxury credentials are set to soar as Christopher Nolan’s epic hits the screen, writes Katie Silcox Lefkada, Greece | Greece Sotheby’s International Realty An ancient Greek epic has inspired Hollywood’s latest blockbuster. Homer’s enduring mythological tale of “The Odyssey” follows its hero as he makes his 10-year journey home after the Trojan War. Now, Christopher Nolan’s star-studded movie adaptation, featuring Matt Damon as Odysseus, alongside Zendaya, Tom Holland, Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson, is set to give Greece an equally high billing. Beyond the screen, ancient traditions live on across this Mediterranean country and its 200 or so inhabited islands, several of which lay claim to being locations in Homer’s original story. Clustered in a few distinct groups, these islands contain multitudes, from the lush greenery of the Ionian islands off the west mainland coast to the whitewashed villages of the Cyclades in the central Aegean; the historical Dodecanese towards Turkey; the quieter islands of the north Aegean; and the Saronic islands nearest Athens. Then there are Greece’s two biggest isles, Crete and Evia. Mykonos, Greece | Greece Sotheby’s International Realty “Landscape is often one of the first things buyers fall in love with,” says Despina Laou, head of private office at Greece Sotheby’s International Realty, which lists high-end homes across the Greek mainland and islands. Every homeowner will be drawn to something different: one person’s Crete or Kos is another’s Corfu or Kefalonia. And Greece’s charm extends beyond summer, through its varied seasons and culture. Celebrated Greek fashion designer Mary Katrantzou agrees with Laou. In Greece, landscape “naturally shapes the way people build, create and live,” says the Athens native, who lives and works in London but returns regularly to her homeland. Katrantzou held her own wedding and son’s christening on the Saronic island of Spetses—in the same cathedral where her parents married and she was baptized. For Katrantzou, Greece’s islands represent “a sense of freedom, beauty and belonging.” From a design perspective, too, they have a look that’s distinct from the mainland. “The Greek islands often favor a more restrained aesthetic, defined by natural materials, light and an openness to the surrounding environment,” she says. Corfu, Greece | Greece Sotheby’s International Realty Linamia on Corfu’s fashionable northeast coast is an “exceptional example of how the landscape becomes a home’s defining feature,” says Laou. Surrounded by cypress trees, traditional design typifies this villa: blue-shuttered windows on warm terracotta walls open to an infinity pool with extended views of the sparkling Ionian sea—where Odysseus is believed to have been shipwrecked. “The sea is deeply woven into our history, culture and daily life,” says Laou of its central place in Greek identity. At Villa Gabbiano, a stylish contemporary home on Lefkada—the Ionian island often said to be the home of Odysseus—outdoor terraces track the shoreline and floor-to-ceiling glass doors prioritize ocean panoramas. It’s all complemented by organic design: natural stone, terracotta tiling and timber frames. Lefkada, Greece | Greece Sotheby’s International Realty The villa faces Kefalonia, the Greek island with some of the strongest ties to Homer’s epic. Here, another villa, Aurelis, offers a cool respite from the Grecian sun. While modern in design—with sleek lines, polished surfaces and statement lighting—there are nods to traditional Greek architecture, too: shaded pergolas, tiled roofs and a cubist style more commonly found in the Cyclades. “Traditional Greek architecture continues to influence contemporary design,” says Laou. “This balance is one of the strengths of Greek architecture.” The country’s history touches “every creative discipline,” agrees Katrantzou, whose couture collections have often explored a dialogue between the ancient and contemporary. “Storytelling has always been central to Greek design and mythology is one of its richest sources.” Crete, Greece | Greece Sotheby’s International Realty At Aerope, a restored townhouse in Crete—the island Odysseus claimed as his homeland while trying to conceal his identity—tradition takes center stage. Overlooking the old town of the picturesque coastal city of Rethymno, the home showcases authentic Cretan design with stone archways, inner courtyards and a tapered fireplace, while maintaining a sense of quiet luxury through contemporary finishes. “Luxury in Greece is rooted in authenticity, craftsmanship and a connection to place,” Katrantzou explains. “Even on the islands most accustomed to excess, traditions hold strong.” Mykonos, Greece | Greece Sotheby’s International Realty This also rings true at Villa Filia on the Cycladic island of Mykonos. More widely known for its party scene, the island is quieter on the east coast. Here, bougainvillea trails the stone walls that blend seamlessly into the cliffside. Sage-green shuttered windows overlook terraces with views across pool and sea. This is a home that stays true to the local vernacular, offering a deeper sense of place beyond the island’s beach clubs. “The Greek islands offer far more than sun and sea,” Katrantzou concludes. “Their history, mythology and living traditions create a unique richness, where every landscape carries a story. It’s this depth and authenticity that gives each island its own character and makes Greece such an enduring destination.” From one European idyll to another: explore Tuscany, Italy’s historic heartland
