If money was no object, what would your dream home include?
Well for Los Angeles-based entrepreneur Ori Bytton he went about designing his ultimate property to the tune of $38 million with some of his wish-list features including an infinity pool, a spacious garage for his supercars, a cinema and a glass-walled wine cellar.
In a bid to inspire others on the homebuilding front, Bytton opened the doors of his slick six-bedroom Bel Air lair to YouTuber Enes Yilmazer, so he could go about conducting a comprehensive tour.
In a 36-minute-long video, Enes leads viewers from room to room, with some of the standout spaces including the master bathroom decked out with a giant stone tub ‘weighing around two tons’ and the master bedroom bedroom, complete with a giant bed and motorized glass sliding doors opening out on to a terrace.
Before starting his tour, Enes comments on the home’s hallway, which he praises for its ‘beautiful wood plank ceilings’ and travertine walls.
The property pro then starts off by dipping into the office, which features contemporary art, an eye-catching hanging main light, an oversized window overlooking the outside driveway and its own full bathroom.
Next up is the main living area, serving up big couches, a fireplace and an attractive kitchen with a center island.
However, Enes points out that this cooking area is more of a ‘show kitchen’ and the home boasts a state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen through another doorway.
Other rooms hidden from view on the ground floor, include a laundry room with two washers and two dryers, and a bedroom that Enes says could be used for staff as it has it is self-contained with its own entry way.
Moving down the home’s impressive floating staircase, the social media star explores the home’s lower floor, which architect David Maman describes as an ‘adult entertainment area.’
The lowlit space includes a cinema room, a photogenic glass-walled wine cellar, a bar and a gym.
Enes is also blown away by the home’s garage, which is more like a lounge area, with photo art on the walls and a tiled floor, and the spa is another standout feature.
The compact wellness area offers a massage room, a sauna, and a Patagonia quartzite-cladded steam room which Enes says is ‘one of the most beautiful steam rooms we have ever toured on this channel.’
From the lower level, Enes retraces his steps and moves from the ground to the floor above.
On the first story there are several more bedrooms with en suites, and the master certainly makes for a jawdropping sight.
The sprawling primary bedroom features a very large bed with a base and back wall upholstered with cream leather.
A sliding glass window leads to a terrace, kitted out with heaters and speakers in the ceiling.
Off from the master bedroom is a very sizeable bathroom serving up a stone tub – which Enes estimates could ‘comfortably fit’ up to four people – and an enormous enclosed double rain shower.
Lastly, the YouTuber returns to the staircase and climbs to the roof.
The camera pans around to capture a large seating area, a kitchen space, and a bar.
Enes explains that some of the elements are still awaiting the finishing touches, including the countertop on the lofty bar.
In terms of the view, the property looks out over Bel Air to the Pacific Ocean beyond and the shores Santa Catalina Island.
At the end of Enes’ tour, homeowner Ori touches on his vision.
He explains: ‘I wanted something that is timeless, that is modern, good materials that are modern but organic and that was the design concept from the beginning.
‘We really wanted to bring that feeling of organic to LA because we believe it is missing here and I believe that the person who will live here will feel it everyday.’
Enes highlights that the home was only recently finished for Ori to take up residence. But it has now hit the market and listed with Branden Williams and Rayni Williams of The Beverly Hills Estates.
While the home was designed and constructed by architect David Maman in collaboration with the renowned architecture firm Saota, the interiors were masterminded by renowned European designer Dieter Vander Velpen.
