In 1949, Dora Hutchinson, heiress of the Chase Manhattan Bank fortune, commissioned the architect William Pereira to design her new home. Pereira was not only one of the most famous and prolific architects of the time, but he had also been a set designer, director and producer of several films in the 40s, won by an Oscar for his work of special effects photography in Pirates of the Caribbean Sea (Reap the Wild), by Cecille B. De Mille in 1942.

Dora used to gather Hollywood stars and California business leaders for their evenings, often throwing fireworks from the garden of Byrdview -So he called his new house- to announce the beginning of the cocktail hour. But soon he decided to return to New York and the house was left to Frank Sinatra.

Byrdview It is located in the Chatsworth neighborhood, a hill with 360 degree views over Los Angeles, the mountains and the nature reserve. The house has 618 square meters, four bedrooms and six bathrooms, and 60 percent of its walls are windows almost 5 meters high, flooding the entire house with light and providing stunning views from any corner of the house. It also has a bar, a formal dining room, an office, a large kitchen with an island, breakfast bar with view and high-end appliances, several fireplaces and several leisure areas both inside and outside.

The house has been the scene of several films (Swordfish, Dreamgirls, Transformers and Bewitched), T.V. series (Mad Men and Californication) and music videos (Mariah Carey, Usher and Rihanna).
