Magnificent views overlooking the Hollywood Hills — where all the stars have nestled —  could be seen from the lavish comforts of the plush living room and all the light poured into the space through the airy windows.

To get an even better look, the transparent double doors led out onto an envy-inducing balcony where there were two comfortable chairs which were perfect for watching the world go by.

Inside the living room, two sofas and a pair of armchairs were arranged to make the most of the space around the marble framed fireplace and flat screen television.
