A New Chapter for a Space-Age Sanctuary
The Bird Streets have long been a theater for architectural ambition, but few properties have captured the imagination quite like 9265 Robin Drive. Inspired by the stark, futuristic aesthetic of Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey,” the residence has served as a high-profile landmark in the Hollywood Hills. This week, the property entered a new era as LA28 Summer Olympics Chair Casey Wasserman finalized the sale of the estate to Guess co-founder Paul Marciano.
The Transaction Details
The deal, which closed at $18.5 million, represents a notable moment in the current market. While the sale stands as one of the priciest recorded transactions in the neighborhood for the year, it also reflects a recalibration of value for the seller. Wasserman, who originally acquired the home for $23.6 million in 2020, saw the property trade at a discount, underscoring the nuanced nature of luxury real estate in the 90069 zip code.
Architectural Pedigree
Beyond the headlines, the home remains a testament to the bold design language that defines the Bird Streets. With a price per square foot of $1,655, the estate offers a rare blend of cinematic history and modern luxury. The transaction was facilitated by a powerhouse team of agents, with Westside Estate Agency’s Kurt Rappaport holding the listing, while The Beverly Hills Estates’ Branden Williams and Carolwood Estates’ Cooper Mount represented the buyer. As the keys change hands, the property continues to stand as a beacon of the unique, high-concept living that only the Bird Streets can provide.
