A 20,058-square-foot mansion in Hollywood Hills just sold for a jaw-dropping $35.5 million.

Hollywood Hills is a swanky hillside neighborhood in Los Angeles, California, known for its stunning views, ultra-wealthy residents, and high price tags. According to Zillow, as of October 2019, the area's median home value was $1,729,500.

The massive five-bedroom home is the largest ever built in the neighborhood, People reports. It was listed back in August for $43.9 million and represented by David Parnes and James Harris of The Agency and Jason Oppenheim of The Oppenheim Group.

Along with stunning views of the iconic Los Angeles skyline, the property's amenities include an infinity pool, a spacious garage, a theater, a gym, a sauna, and a 15-foot outdoor television.

"The largest draw to this neighborhood is the panoramic views that can span from the Griffith Observatory all the way to the ocean. Many homes with promontory settings, like this one, benefit from completely unobstructed views. The close proximity to Sunset Boulevard restaurants, shopping, and nightlife offers the perfect LA lifestyle," Parnes told Business Insider.

A representative for The Agency confirmed to Business Insider that the listing agents verified the property is the largest home in the neighborhood based on square footage.
