Inside the $87 million hilltop palace for sale in Beverly Hills

Private drive leading to the main residence at 1420 Davies Dr in Beverly Hills.

For a person who likes this style, that's why we feel bullish on the price, according to the listing agent.

The palatial main residence is located on a hilltop that provides panoramic views.

The asking price for the home is more than double the average price per square foot. The price per square foot for the Malibu home sold for $177 million, making it the most expensive home sale in history.

One of those mega-deals was the distressed sale of 944 Airole Way, a 105,000- square-foot mega-mansion, which was offered $295 million before selling at auction last month for $141 million. Kirman was a co-listing agent on the transaction.

Multiple listing service and deed transfer records show that Los Angeles has seen 10 single-family home deals close for more than $50 million in the last six months, including three homes that sold for over $100 million.

There is no other market that has those numbers.

He hasn't seen an impact from rising mortgage rates, inflation or the war in Ukraine.

He pointed out that the market is still a seller on the high end. Kirman said that the Los Angeles MLS currently shows 27 single-family homes priced over $50 million.

This is supported by analysis from Miller Samuel Real Estate Appraisers and Consultants.

Car park and front entrance

The mansion, which is located on Davies Drive, has been featured in music videos, commercials, and by the magazine in 2016 when the magazine threw a Grammys after-party at the residence celebrating musician The Weeknd's birthday and published photos from the home showing Taylor Swift.

There is a closer look at what $87 million could buy in Beverly Hills.

The home's library is connected by a spiral staircase. Overhead is a massive stained-glass light fixture.

The dining hall that seats twelve is revealed by the double pocket doors that disappear into the walls. The room is covered in a gold leaf-painted domed ceiling and has bright walls made of red silk.

The billiards room is covered in silk and has a scarlet fabric framed by dark-stained wood and hand-painted scenes above the floor.

The living room has a wood mirrored bar and more walls.

The giant owner's suite has a seating area, a king-sized bed, and a dumbwaiter that can whisk breakfast up from the kitchen.

The chef's kitchen has wood-carved cabinets, stone floors and appliances.

There is a breakfast room with hand-painted murals depicting colorful birds and foliage on every wall.

The cinema room is the lowest level on the home.

Wine cellar with English saloon facade.

According to Kirman, the facade of an 18th-century saloon was shipped from England and transformed into the entrance to the wine cellar.

There is a stained-glass light fixture in the ceiling and French doors that lead to the pool.

There is a two-story pool house in the estate's luxurious backyard.

The pool is surrounded by shrubs and fountains.

There is a small rock island at the center of a red-painted pond that is steps away from the swimming area.

The property has a tennis court and a chess set.

If the home sells for its asking price, Kirman says the real estate taxes would total more than $1 million per year or more than $90,000 a month.
