Rockstar energy drink creator Russell Weiner paid $16.515 million for a contemporary home in Hollywood Hills West, among the highest residential sales in L.A. County in August, and has since put the home back up for sale at $27.995 million. The 12,530-square-foot showplace includes a 2,000-square-foot master suite, multiple living rooms and a fitness center. Another 2,500 square feet is devoted to a car showroom. Jetliner views of Downtown L.A. are on full display inside and outside the home, which sits on about half an acre in the Bird Streets neighborhood. An oversized wood front door set within a wall of glass sets the stage for the multilevel house. Modern chandeliers, custom uplighting and a glass-enclosed wine cellar are among eye-catching features found throughout.
