Monarch Modern sits on almost an acre in the Hollywood Hills, and that land may be the most important amenity of all. The property's roots go back to a 1958 hillside house, where the site was already being used to capture big views and create a private pool environment. Today the experience is much more polished: private pool and Jacuzzi, theater, barbecue area and generous lounging spaces give the house a resort-like program without losing the sense that you're occupying your own patch of hillside. That's the story we'd lean into. In a part of Los Angeles where some houses seem to cling to impossibly small lots, Monarch has room to breathe. You aren't just renting the building. You're borrowing a piece of the hill.
