Listed at $12,000,000, it’s a rare offering for discerning buyers seeking both legacy and lifestyle.   




Architecturally Revered & Carefully Reimagined



  • Historic Prestige: Originally designed in 1963 by famed architect Harold Levitt for Virginia Knott Bender, the notebook award-winning layout has been preserved and elevated into a Mediterranean Modern showpiece.

Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Entertainment & Sanctuary-Level Design

A Chef’s Kitchen Crafted for Function & Form
