Tim McElwee’s 1331 Linda Flora Drive mansion, 10,946 square feet on a 0.59‑acre hillside lot, went on the market today for $36.5 million. The three‑storey home, finished in 2026, showcases 4,500 tons of reinforced concrete and expansive glass walls that frame the Los Angeles skyline. Buyers can view the property through the MLS listing, which remains active until the end of October.
The house’s brutalist aesthetic is forged from exposed concrete—about 10 million pounds—forming cantilevered balconies and angled columns that cast long shadows over the terrace. Inside, polished terrazzo floors sit beside board‑formed concrete ceilings, while wood panels and glass doors break the mass, creating a contrast between solidity and light. The design deliberately uses the slope of the site to create multiple levels and private terraces.
McElwee acquired the 0.5854‑acre parcel in 2018 for roughly $3.1 million, but the project’s nine‑year development timeline began in 2017 when he first purchased the land. The timeline is a marketing claim, as construction milestones were staggered across the decade, with the final phase completing in 2026. The developer’s long gestation period reflects the complexity of building such a distinctive concrete structure on a hillside.
The mansion contains six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, including a primary suite that opens onto a private roof garden and a terrazzo soaking tub. A screen room, gym, sauna, and spa facilities round out the luxury amenities, while a large island kitchen and separate prep area serve the sprawling living spaces. Outdoor features include multi‑level terraces and an infinity pool that blends with the surrounding hills.
The listing comes amid heightened scrutiny of high‑value transactions in Los Angeles, where the Measure ULA transfer tax could apply, potentially adding an extra cost to the final sale. The asking price of $36.5 million is a seller’s target; buyers will need to negotiate a final price that satisfies both parties and any tax obligations. As the property remains on the market, prospective buyers are encouraged to schedule viewings before the listing’s expiration.
