The real estate here’s truly astronomical. The top house in the MLS is listed at $85 million. Also in this zip code is the Richard Neutra-designed home that Vidal Sassoon has on the market for $19 million. Today’s estate sits smack in the middle at $40 million. You only get 3.2 acres here but the home is large,36 bedrooms in all. Very high ceilings, elaborate moldings, marble everywhere and an overall sense of formal grandness prevails. The land includes terraces with city views, sunken tennis court and a sybaritic pool area. The home has four different master suites and two kitchens.
