2229 Castilian Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90068

Positioned high above the canyon in the Hollywood Hills, this striking contemporary residence delivers the scale, presence, and seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle expected at the upper tier of the market. Architecturally intentional in its design and further elevated by the current owners through targeted enhancements, the home offers a level of livability and entertaining capacity that meaningfully distinguishes it from its peers. Walls of Fleetwood stacking and pocketing glass sliders define the experience, dissolving boundaries between interior living spaces and expansive terraces that capture sweeping canyon views from every room. A six-panel Fleetwood system at the main level disappears entirely, transforming the home into a true extension of its surroundings and creating a resort-like environment equally suited for intimate evenings or large-scale gatherings. The dining room, anchored by a custom inlaid wood panel wall, sits at the edge of home featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that create the sensation of floating above the canyon while you dine. Across the home in the media room, complete with a built-in bar and dramatic high ceilings, this same custom woodwork, paired with integrated slate finishes that extend from inside to out, introduces warmth and permanence grounding the modern architecture in a refined, timeless material palette. The media room, complete with a built-in bar and dramatic openings, serves as a central entertaining hub with direct access to the sunken plunge pool and spa, as well as the surrounding decks. A newly added steam room introduces a spa-caliber experience, positioned with direct access to the main deck and oversized hot tub designed to function as both a rapid-heat spa and a cold plunge. The transition between these elements creates a cohesive indoor-outdoor wellness environment. From the spa level, an exterior staircase leads directly to the primary suite, where a Japanese-inspired soaking tub and expansive walk-in rain shower complete the experience. Outdoor living has been executed with precision and intention. Multiple terraces, a high-output fire pit, and ceiling mounted heating elements allow for year-round usability of the outdoor spaces. A professionally installed motorized retractable screen system encloses the large Fleetwood openings at the touch of a button, preserving the open-air experience while enhancing comfort, climate control, and functionality for the days you prefer to stay inside while still taking in the fresh breeze. Smart home integration implemented by the current owners includes Lutron lighting, distributed audio, MyQ garage control, AquaLink spa management, ADT security hardware, closed circuit security cameras, DoorBird, Shade Store motorized shades, and four-zone climate control (two gas + two electric systems). Additional upgrades include tankless water heaters, a new roof (2025), Toto heated bidet toilets on both levels, custom garage cabinetry, and multiple 220V charging outlets. The new ADU (2023) expands the property's functionality with a separate entrance, full kitchen, laundry, and a 120-inch 4K projection system. A three-panel Fleetwood slider system with a motorized retractable screen connects the space to the outdoors seamlessly, creating a flexible, design-forward environment ideal for guests, extended stays, or income potential. Both the main kitchen and the ADU feature Wolf and other luxury appliances and Fisher & Paykel dual-drawer dishwashers, reflecting a consistent level of finish throughout. The ADU further includes its own washer and dryer along with a full-size EuroCave wine refrigerator. The hybrid foundation is comprised of a concrete slab over 22 solid caissons down to bedrock. With its combination of architectural scale, premium materials, and thoughtfully executed enhancements, this residence offers a level of presence, functionality, and experiential living that firmly supports its position within the upper echelon of the market.
