Real estate investor Frederick C. Wehba is famous in Los Angeles for creating one of the most lavish homes ever to grace Sunset Boulevard. His elaborate dream home hit the market in 2010 for $68.5 million and cost a reported $65 million to build. That home remains on the market for $55 million.
Wehba II, who serves as chairman and CEO of Bently Forbes, a commercial real estate firm, has also listed another more modest (at least by Webha standards) home in Beverly Hills for $7.995 million. This home on the bucolically-named Green Acres Drive features five bedrooms in 9, 163 square feet of space, less than a third the space offered in the 36,000-square-foot Sunset Boulevard mansion.
Wehba appears to have a style: he likes his homes Frenchified and fancy. Perhaps he found some sources of inspiration in this villa located not far from the larger home. This home, built in 1987 has high ceilings, intricate moldings and leaded and beveled glass doors and windows.
The home opens with a dramatic entry with 25-foot ceiling, crystal chandelier and a sweeping staircase with an iron bannister.
The first floor includes a reception room, living room, formal dining room, powder room, and a cook�s kitchen with professional appliances, butler�s pantry and a stained glass skylight.
The first floor also features a maid�s room with bath, wine storage, a gym with a bath and sauna and the lovely rotunda breakfast room which is a charming spot to begin your day as a real estate mogul.
The second level is where you find the master suite with dual closets and a large bathroom as well as three additional family suites and a media room with a bar area.
The .61 acre lot includes a backyard with a large patio, built-in barbecue, fountain, pool and spa. No word yet on where the real estate investor will hang his hat next but it�s certain to be spectacular.
