<div innerhtml="

There’s a private, gated development called Trousdale Estates in Beverly Hills that has been home to dozens of celebrities over the years. Jennifer Aniston, Ellen DeGeneres, Jane Fonda, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley are just a few of them.&nbsp;The neighborhood&nbsp;even has its own coffee table book.&nbsp;When Richard Nixon was Vice-President he caused a ripple of controversy by agreeing to buy a home here for $90,000 when it was worth $300,000 because the developers thought his name would add prestige to the neighborhood. Some of the 500+ homes in the subdivision were designed by luminaries such as Wallace Neff, Paul A. Williams and Lloyd Wright (son of the famous Frank Lloyd Wright). And now there’s this glass-filled, water-centric new construction called The Opus designed by Ireland-born architect Paul McClean. The same&nbsp;mastermind behind The One—the forthcoming home from developer Nile Niami which is said to have an asking price of $500 million.

With a similar style of blending the indoors and outdoors&nbsp;together with views and water features—including two pools—this&nbsp;7-bed, 7-bath house will come close to breaking a price record. The current highest Trousdale sale on record is&nbsp;a $70 million sale in 2014 for an 8-bed, 15-bath house bought by Minecraft creator Markus Persson (#1425 on Forbes Billionaires). There may be an off-market listing that has closed for a higher price, but if not this $68 million property measuring 20,000 square feet will come it at number two for the neighborhood. It would have been the top of the&nbsp;list had it achieved its original asking price of $100 million before it was even built, but has come down a few times to rest at $68 million.

This living room shot gives a good view of how the doors disappear completely so that the outside and inside come together as one. The same design shows up in the master bedroom which walks out to a private deck.

The dining room has a close in feel but makes up for it with a mirrored to reflect the light from the shimmery chandeliers.&nbsp;

An entertaining space with wet bar against one wall finds the balance between a bar that fits casually into the home and one where you could have hired bartenders serving drinks for an evening.&nbsp;

This landing between the two levels captures how the designer uses water in close proximity to glass so that the light reflects all around and&nbsp;creates a feeling of calm high above the city of Los Angeles.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The media room&nbsp;goes easy on the glass and open air spaces so that it has more of a darkened theater experience.&nbsp;

But the home has its own private theater with stadium style seating and a widescreen for home viewing.&nbsp;

For one last look&nbsp;here&nbsp;is the view from corner of the yard.

For more information head to the Hilton &amp; Hyland listing page&nbsp;for agents Branden Williams and Rayni Williams.&nbsp;
