535 Haynes Avenue $9,950,000

Originally the site of Howard Hughes' Pied a Terre. When one of the richest and most inciteful geniuses of his time could choose any location, he chose 535 Haynes. Haynes today is known as perhaps the most secure and private street in all of Trousdale.Still to be enjoyed are Hughes' original palm trees, indoor-outdoor exercise pavilion, legally permitted rooftop deck with its exquisite Southern California airline views AND his iconic swimming pool with its rare diving board amenity.Rebuilt in 2017 and now fully re-imagined from top to bottom in 2026, this contemporary home totals over 4600 square feet with four large bedrooms-all ensuite, four permissible and two wood-burning fireplaces, multi-zone HVAC systems, two tankless hot water systems, closet space galore, a primary bedroom suite and primary bathroom wanting for nothing including total intimacy and its rare Brazilian Blue granite fireplace, a kitchen with the best appliances (Sub Zero, Wolf, Viking), a 2.5+ car garage with built-in storage cabinets, a separate laundry room with high-end Maytag washer and dryer, outdoor landscaping designed with new and extensive water tolerant plantings, the highest end Fleetwood window and door systems with expansive outdoor access and indoor treatments to minimize maintenance and cleaning requirements. There are also multiple automatic window shades. Plus skylights were added in order to bring height and light throughout the indoor spaces. The next owner needs to spend nothing additional because all of the interior and exterior spaces and areas have been addressed.When Trousdale was brand new Howard Hughes had the assets to choose any location and his choice was 535 Haynes. And now, with its aggressive pricing and its fully completed and move-in ready condition, it awaits its next ownership.
