Inside a rare 4,000+ sq ft residence at The Carlyle, L.A.’s famously paparazzi-proof tower

A rare, oversized residence has just hit the market inside one of Los Angeles’ most discreet and tightly guarded luxury towers.

Unit 1904 at The Carlyle Residences is now listed for $5.75 million, offering a combination of size, privacy, and separation that almost never comes up in the building.

The listing is being handled by Revel Real Estate agents Ben Bacal and Lee Jackson, who brought the residence to market with a configuration that stands out even by Carlyle standards.

Long known for its extreme privacy and high-level security, The Carlyle has quietly attracted high-profile residents over the years, including Bruce Willis and Larry King, cementing its reputation as one of the city’s most paparazzi-resistant addresses.

The main residence is accessed via a direct, private elevator that opens into a quiet foyer. From there, the home unfolds with sweeping views in nearly every direction — south and west toward the Pacific Ocean and the Los Angeles skyline, and north toward The Getty and the surrounding mountains.

The interior layout includes three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, along with two balconies positioned to take advantage of the building’s elevation.

Dramatic 11-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and a fireplace anchor the main living spaces, giving the home a sense of scale that’s uncommon even among high-end towers.

A main residence plus a rare secondary suite

The 19th-floor primary residence spans 3,535 square feet, but what truly sets this offering apart is its additional housekeeping suite located on the second floor.

Measuring more than 500 square feet and fully outfitted with its own kitchenette and bathroom, the separate unit brings the total combined living area to just over 4,000 square feet.

A functional addition to The Carlyle unit

Very few residences at The Carlyle include a fully functional secondary suite, and this level of separation is increasingly difficult to find in Los Angeles luxury buildings.

The space works as staff quarters, a private guest suite, or a dedicated office, while still remaining entirely separate from the main home. A third parking space is also included.

The residence has a chef’s kitchen with Miele appliances

The kitchen is designed for serious use, featuring a professional chef’s layout with premium Miele appliances and generous prep space. It opens seamlessly into the main living and dining areas, allowing the views to remain the focal point.

A primary suite with its own office

The primary suite is set apart as its own retreat, complete with a marble-clad bathroom, an oversized closet, and a dedicated private office. The combination of bedroom, office, and dressing space reinforces the residence’s appeal as a full-time home rather than a pied-à-terre.

White-glove service inside one of L.A.’s most private towers

Residents of The Carlyle enjoy a service level more commonly associated with five-star hotels. Amenities include 24-hour valet, concierge and doorman support, a heated pool, a well-equipped fitness center, and private wine storage.

Known as “the paparazzi proof tower”

Security has long been a defining feature of the building, with protocols that previously drew attention for its “VIP-trained” staff and discreet operations.

Combined with its history of attracting high-profile residents seeking privacy, The Carlyle continues to stand out among Los Angeles luxury towers.

A prime Wilshire Boulevard address in Westwood

Located along Wilshire Boulevard in Westwood, the building sits within one of the city’s most established residential corridors. While the tower feels insulated from public view, it remains close to cultural institutions, dining, and major business centers.

For buyers seeking space, separation, and privacy inside a full-service luxury building, Unit 1904 represents one of the most substantial and unusual offerings currently available at The Carlyle.
