From Here, You Can See for Miles

A home with sweeping views of the city: That’s how restaurateur Dave Chasen envisioned the house designed for him and his family in 1954 by architect Paul Williams.

With its walls of glass, and focus on the California indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the home is acknowledged by many in the real estate community as one of the most spectacular view estates in the L.A. area.

About this house: Situated on 11/4 acres, with unobstructed views from downtown to the ocean, the house can be approached from two gated entrances on separate streets. From each gate, there is a 300-foot-long driveway to the house. There is parking for 15 cars.
