The Story Behind
The Angelo Estate: Ed Tuttle's Architectural Masterpiece
The Angelo Estate stands as a testament to architectural excellence, conceived by renowned master architect Ed Tuttle and brought to life by McCoy Construction with uncompromising attention to detail. Every element of this 16-bedroom, 27-bathroom residence reflects a singular commitment to perfection, where no expense was spared and no detail overlooked.
The estate's defining characteristic lies in its materials—exterior walls crafted entirely from imported Italian limestone create a sense of permanence and grandeur, while the interior showcases the same limestone alongside rift-cut vertical grain white oak. These materials flow seamlessly throughout the residence, creating visual continuity that speaks to sophisticated design sensibilities.
At the heart of the estate lies a magnificent open courtyard adorned with fountains, around which the entire residence is thoughtfully organized. The entrance through an atrium foyer filled with natural light evokes the mastery of I.M. Pei's Louvre installation, immediately establishing the property's museum-quality credentials. Soaring ceilings and expansive wall surfaces throughout provide the perfect canvas for significant art collections.
The entertainment amenities rival those of the finest private clubs—a professional theater with tiered seating, regulation bowling alley, and game rooms spanning multiple levels. The chef's gourmet kitchen serves as the culinary heart, while formal living and dining spaces provide venues for sophisticated entertaining.
Sustainability meets luxury through geothermal heating and cooling technology, complemented by solar panels and backup generator systems. The estate's technological infrastructure includes state-of-the-art electronics and comprehensive security systems with a dedicated security room.
Outdoor spaces feature green marble-tiled infinity pool and spa, full outdoor kitchen, and lighted tennis court with pavilion. The grounds themselves represent a masterpiece of landscape design, with stunning lawns, walkways, and gardens that complement the architectural vision.
Accommodations extend beyond the main residence to include a full two-story, two-bedroom guest house and separate guest apartment, while parking for 80-100 vehicles ensures the estate can host events befitting its grand scale. The Angelo Estate's peninsula location not only ensures complete privacy but opens to what may be the finest views in all of Los Angeles—a truly irreplaceable combination of architecture, location, and craftsmanship.
Beverly Hills represents the pinnacle of luxury residential living, and the 90210 zip code stands as perhaps the most prestigious address in America. This legendary enclave has attracted entertainment royalty, business titans, and international luminaries for over a century, creating a community where privacy and prestige converge.
The city's origins trace back to the early 1900s when it was established as a planned community centered around the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel. What began as bean fields and lima bean ranches transformed into one of the world's most coveted residential destinations, particularly after Hollywood's golden age established it as the preferred address for cinema's elite.
Beverly Hills' unique character stems from its meticulous urban planning and commitment to maintaining an exclusive residential atmosphere. The city's famously manicured streets, lined with palm trees and immaculate landscaping, create an environment that feels both urban and resort-like. Strict building codes and zoning regulations have preserved the area's character while allowing for architectural innovation.
The renowned Rodeo Drive, just minutes from Angelo Drive, represents one of the world's premier luxury shopping destinations. Here, flagship stores from Cartier, Hermès, Bulgari, and other international luxury houses create an unparalleled retail experience. The Golden Triangle business district provides sophisticated dining options, from Michelin-starred establishments to intimate bistros favored by industry insiders.
Cultural enrichment abounds with proximity to world-class institutions. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Getty Center, and Museum of Contemporary Art offer rotating exhibitions of international significance. The Hollywood Bowl and Walt Disney Concert Hall provide venues for world-renowned performances, while private clubs like the Los Angeles Country Club and Hillcrest Country Club offer exclusive recreational amenities.
The location's elevation provides not only privacy but also climatic advantages—Beverly Hills enjoys some of Southern California's most favorable microclimates, with cooling breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean and protection from the more extreme weather patterns that affect other parts of the basin.
Educational excellence defines the area, with Beverly Hills High School consistently ranking among California's top public schools, while prestigious private institutions like Harvard-Westlake and Crossroads School serve families seeking alternative educational approaches.
The neighborhood's infrastructure reflects its status—underground utilities, wide tree-lined streets, and comprehensive municipal services create an environment where luxury living can flourish. Beverly Hills' own police and fire departments provide dedicated municipal services, while the city's commitment to maintaining its exclusive character ensures property values and lifestyle quality remain uncompromised.
