The home, which boasts an impressive 9,050 square feet of living space, was previously listed for £13.8 million in January of this year. However, it was taken off the market in July, only to re-emerge at a slightly reduced price. The current listing is being managed by real estate agents Ginger Glass and Alexandra Glass of Compass.


Upon entry, visitors are greeted by a striking grand staircase, which has been featured in numerous family holiday portraits. This elegant entrance leads into a spacious dining room, furnished with mahogany accents and capable of accommodating ten guests comfortably. Additionally, the expansive living room, fitted with a cozy fireplace, adds to the home’s allure.
At the heart of this luxurious home lies the kitchen, which is outlined by a marble-topped island and barstool seating. Seamlessly integrated into the home’s design, the kitchen connects to another dining area that opens up to the outdoor spaces. There’s also a family room that provides ample room for gatherings and entertainment.
The private quarters of the home include the primary bedroom, which affords stunning views of downtown Los Angeles from its terrace. The en-suite bathroom is designed for relaxation, featuring a soaking tub, a standing shower, and additional access to a terrace, making it a personal sanctuary for the homeowner.
Among the other notable amenities are an expansive 1,800-square-foot poolside guest pavilion, a dedicated home theatre, a gym, and a playroom. The property accommodates up to eight vehicles with a two-car garage and multiple parking spaces available.
Outside, the estate is similarly impressive. A luxurious pool is surrounded by ample lounging and outdoor dining space, making it ideal for summer gatherings. The living terrace features a fully-equipped kitchen, which includes a wood-fired pizza oven and grill station. For those who enjoy a bit of competition, there’s even a mini-golf and putting area, alongside a fruitful garden for homegrown produce.
The listing notes that the sale price will encompass the designer furnishings, ensuring that the new owner will enjoy a tastefully decorated home without the hassle of redecorating immediately upon arrival.
Christine Chiu’s decision to sell marks the end of a significant chapter in her life, as she has made lasting memories in this extravagant estate alongside her husband, Gabriel Chiu, and their eight-year-old son, Gabriel Chiu III.
As the property draws attention in the market, it enthuses prospective buyers searching for a luxurious oasis in one of Los Angeles’ most coveted neighbourhoods.
