7 is a magical variety for one particular of Bel-Air’s priciest spec homes.

The glass and marble palace situated at 777 Sarbonne Highway in Los Angeles hit the industry very last month with an asking price tag of $87,777,777.

The triple sevens in its tackle and price tag are just the beginning. Many of the home’s architectural information were being made in measurements that are multiples of 7.

There’s a giant front door designed of glass that stands 14 ft tall and the ceilings in the massive living place are 21 toes substantial. At the conclusion of the driveway, three outsized sevens evaluate 7-feet, 7-inches tall.

The 7-bedroom, 11-bath home is owned by beauty surgeon Dr. Alex Khadavi.

“Seven is a quantity and topic that has affected me in every vital factor of my daily life,” Khadavi explained in an interview, “from the age I arrived to America, to the ground level of my condominium.”

Khadavi, who arrived to the United States in 1979 from Tehran, is 48.

And notably, the household has been seven several years in the earning, and its dramatic right before-and-following pics reveal a startling transformation.

CNBC first documented on the residence in 2014, when the web site was household to an outdated stucco mansion bought by Khadavi for $16 million. The doctor’s true estate broker, Aaron Kirman, instructed CNBC that a couple of months right after Khadavi purchased it, he acquired a $24 million offer you from a developer who was hunting to invest in the unimproved property to tear down the old house and create a new one particular in its put.

Rather of accepting the offer, which was an $8 million income from his buy selling price, Khadavi decided to create it himself. He hired Ali Rad Design and started a 7-12 months journey to give the old mansion a facelift.

“Facelift is an understatement, but yeah, 7 a long time and so several millions, I never even want to know how lots of,” stated Kirman, who now co-lists 777 Sarbonne with Mauricio Umansky of The Agency RE.

The mansion makeover was nearly a whole teardown, its operator stated. Only a person wall from the aged household is even now standing. It is in the fashionable home’s new residing area.

Absent is the purple paint and black wrought iron walkway. Now, it is really smooth white walls, polished Carrera marble floors and a 21-foot-tall wall of glass that opens to jaw-dropping sights of Los Angeles.

Khadavi also developed a solution into the residing area that’s intended to dazzle guests. With the contact of a button, a part of the flooring that is hidden beneath a rug can be set into movement. It promptly commences increasing towards the ceiling. Mirrored steel supports, powered by an industrial-toughness hydraulic lift, thrust the marble 7 ft into the air. Within just a handful of seconds, a modern DJ booth and dance system — beforehand concealed in a subterranean stage of the property — choose centre phase.

Hidden underground underneath the mounting bash system is a vault, a purple wine storage space, and the digital brains of the home that regulate every little thing from sound techniques to projectable nonfungible tokens. Khadavi mentioned he programs to project the electronic artwork in excess of the pool and function NFTs on screens throughout the house.

Even more previously mentioned the hydraulic DJ booth, and seemingly floating about the residing place, is a extraordinary glass bridge that sales opportunities to the owner’s suite.

The owner’s sleeping quarters characteristic a white marble-clad fireplace and a wall of glass doorways that slide open to a marble and glass terrace overlooking LA.

The owner’s bathtub is also coated in white marble. The bookmatched Italian stone meets at its heart where by an oval-shaped tub and gold-colored designer chandelier are the focal position.

Together the bath’s glass wall is a double shower that runs the width of the space. And if you would rather not shower in entrance of all of Los Angeles, the contact of a button can instantly fog the glass for privateness.

The bedroom contains a massage place and two identical stroll-in closets, every single with a skylight and yet another golden chandelier dangling at its heart.

Two garages on the home glimpse far more like luxurious automobile showrooms. A person is lined in white marble and the other in black. Above the noir parking area is a individual two-bed room visitor residence.

One side of the primary residence’s exterior walls have been lined with fake crops to build an normally green courtyard that frames a modern-day koi pond.

An infinity-edged pool in the back again of the residence delivers a entrance-row seat to panoramic skyline views.

The vista is guarded by a look at easement that cost the prior proprietor $500,000, Kirman reported. The easement stops the neighbor under from developing a property or even developing a tree that will hinder the perspective at 777 Sarbonne.

“It is a massive vital aspect of the sale of this household,” Kirman explained. “I think they acquired away gentle spending $500,000 due to the fact this property is all about the watch and the watch speaks for alone.”

Khadavi accented those people sights with fireplace capabilities and lots of spots to sit back and take it all in.
