Hollywood Hills spec mansion designed by Paul McClean asks $29M

A real estate investor has placed his Hollywood Hills Modernist estate on the market for $28.5 million.

Property records show Arshia Harrison Refoua is the seller of the newly constructed home at 1800 Marcheeta Place. The property was designed by Irish architect Paul McClean, who runs his eponymous firm McClean Design in Orange.

Aaron Kirman of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California, along with Carolwood Estates’ James Harris and David Parnes, have the listing.

The property totals 12,248 square feet with six bedrooms and nine baths. It touts a home theater, wine storage, cold plunge pool, sauna and massage room.

The listing is the latest to hit the Hollywood Hills market amid an uptick in area activity.

A four-bed, four-bath Mid-Century Modern home at 8818 Rising Glen Place in the Bird Streets is also part of the recent listing wave. It entered the market this week asking just under $11 million.  

The home, originally designed by Richard Frazer, was torn down to the studs and built anew. It is 3,446 square feet with desert-inspired landscaping in the backyard, an outdoor shower, redesigned kitchen and a location in a gated cul-de-sac.

The seller is accessories designer Philippe Naouri, who has redeveloped a number of Los Angeles-market homes.

Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California’s Weston Littlefield and Alex Howe have the listing.

Elsewhere in the Bird Streets, a home once owned by Britney Spears and later Brittany Murphy, is also testing buyer appetite in the area with an ask of nearly $18 million.

The seller is a Rhode Island-based trust, according to property records.

The 9,400-square-foot home at 1895 Rising Glen Road is listed by Carolwood’s Harris and Parnes, along with Haylen Group’s Helen Chong and Susanna Leung.

The home’s next-door neighbor, at 1898 Rising Glen Road, holds the title of priciest on-market deal in L.A. County. It sold for $62.8 million in April.
