Celebrity chef and Food Network star Bobby Flay has found something to savor in the Los Angeles housing market, buying a fresh contemporary home in the Hollywood Hills for $7.6 million.
Olive trees surround the Hollywood Hills residence, which Flay purchased for $7.6 million.

Designed by Los Angeles-based building firm Osklo, the milky white-hued contemporary home sits behind walls and gates on about a mile away from the Sunset Strip. Olive trees and hedges surround the nearly half-acre property, largely concealing the renovated house from its neighbors and the street.
The atrium holds a centennial olive tree.

Past an artistic front door, the roughly 5,800-square-foot opens to sparse, museum-like living spaces accented matte black-framed doors and windows. Stonework and pressure-treated concrete floors add another visual layer to the designer-done interiors.
Matte black-colored floating bookshelves pop against the home’s white-walled interior.

The matte black details continue in the subdued kitchen, which incorporates a concrete-topped island. Across from the kitchen and living room, ribboned marble slaps create a stunning backdrop for a wet bar. A dining area enclosed on two sides by bi-folding walls of glass completes the common area.
Black-framed bi-folding doors bring garden views inside the dining and kitchen area.
