According to Architectural Digest, “The incredible multilevel abode—which is often compared to Tony Stark’s luxurious home in the Iron Man movies—is perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Nearly all of the walls of the residence are glass, providing sweeping views of the landscape from almost every room—and there’s even a glass elevator. Inside are four bedrooms (including two master suites), a giant round living room with a fireplace, a fitness space, two steam rooms, a library, a den, a theater, and a kitchen outfitted with Gaggeneau, Miele, and Hoshizaki appliances.

In the family room, there’s a custom-made shagreen liquor cabinet and bar.
