Racing ace Sir Lewis Hamilton — a seven-time Formula 1 winner — is looking for a West Coast home to add to his global real estate portfolio, which runs from Monaco and Geneva to London and the Big Apple.
Hamilton owns a skypad at 70 Vestry, where Tom Brady owns a unit; Bill Gates’ daughter Jennifer and her family bought Hamilton’s other $51 million penthouse, via a Seattle trust, at 443 Greenwich, as Gimme exclusively reported.
One of the West Coast homes that Hamilton toured was this $14.99 million stunner at 1772 N Crescent Heights in LA.
The six-bedroom, 6½-bath home is 8,500 square feet and comes with a rare flat backyard and city views.
Developed by Oren and Noy Hayun, the new construction home sits on 0.38 acres in the Hollywood Hills above Chateau Marmont, near the Sunset Strip and West Hollywood.
The industrial-style modern home features vaulted ceilings, wood-panel details and motorized, floor-to-ceiling pocket glass doors connecting indoor and outdoor spaces.
There’s also an open living/dining area and a chef’s kitchen, a movie screening room and a main bedroom with a double-sided fireplace, wrap balcony, walk-in closet and spa-like bath.
The outside space boasts an infinity edge pool, an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit and a putting green — plus a roof terrace with a wet bar.
The listing brokers are Carl Gambino and John Bercsi of Compass.
