Poke bowls, a nationwide food craze, owe much of their popularity to Sweetfin, a defining company in the Poke sphere. Based in California, Sweetfin boasts 15 locations across the Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange County areas, establishing itself as a highly successful brand. Brett Nestadt, one of the Sweetfin owners, has recently listed his stunning Hollywood Boulevard home on the market with Anthony Barillo and Tomer Fridman at Compass.
The property, 8521 Hollywood Boulevard, is a unique gem offering three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and 2,560 square feet of interior space. Perched on an overlook, it showcases unparalleled views stretching from Downtown L.A. to the Pacific Ocean. Every detail of the home’s interior and exterior has been painstakingly considered, making it one of the area’s architectural marvels.
Nestadt, known for his prowess in designing the Sweetfin restaurants, led a major home renovation, enhancing outdoor spaces and maximizing the interior layout with the finest designer fixtures and materials. The overhaul included creating parking for five vehicles—a rarity for homes in the hills—as well as adding an infinity pool, outdoor kitchen/lounge areas, and a secondary primary bedroom downstairs with its own direct entrance access.
“There truly isn’t anything else on the market that can even compare to what 8521 offers at this price point. Between the renovation, the iconic architecture, the dual living rooms, the incredible view, the absolutely gorgeous primary suite, and the showstopping infinity edge pool overlooking the skyline, the property is completely unmatched.” – Tomer Fridman, Compass.
The home’s layout is a key element of its appeal, with dual living rooms, blended indoor and outdoor spaces, and seamless flow throughout. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer exceptional 360-degree panoramic vistas from every room, while the living room’s Douglas fir wood-beamed ceiling and custom marble fireplace highlight the home’s high-quality, earthy materials.
Nestadt’s career has been rooted in the restaurant industry, and it’s no surprise that his home kitchen stands out as a testament to his expertise. Complete with cutting-edge appliances catering to the discerning home chef, an impressive eight-foot waterfall-edged marble island, and wraparound custom cabinetry, it exemplifies both luxury and functionality.
The private upstairs primary suite has a balcony overlooking the hills, a luxurious and spa-like en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub, a walk-in glass shower, and dual vanities, as well as a spacious walk-in closet.
The outdoor spaces of this residence mirror the immaculate design of its interior. The centerpiece is a 40-foot infinity edge pool, overlooking the surrounding cityscape and seamlessly merging into a spa. Surrounding the pool is a spacious paved deck, providing a marble fire pit and ample space for seating and basking in the Southern California sun. Perfect for entertaining guests, the outdoor area features a sprawling kitchen equipped with a grill adorned in leather quartzite, along with an additional sink and refrigerator.
Priced at $4,495,000 and listed by Tomer Fridman of Compass, the property offers an exceptional value for its level of style and quality, solidifying its status as one of Hollywood’s most desirable homes.
