Hollywood Hills showplace offers a view to kill and more

On the ground floor, massive glass doors open to a three-story chandelier-topped foyer with a modern floating staircase. White plaster walls show off colored lighting and art installations throughout three floors of living. Opaque portholes in the floor filter light into a custom wine cellar.
