A remarkable mid-century gem in Los Angeles, once belonging to Olympic gold medalist and snowboarding sensation Shaun White, is now on the market for a cool $4.99 million.
White made headlines recently by enjoying New York’s blizzard in Central Park, much to the internet’s amusement. During his stint as NBC’s commentator at the Winter Olympics, he praised fellow Olympian Lindsey Vonn, calling her a “legend” and expressing admiration by saying, “You inspire us all,” following her unfortunate exit from the games.
The chic property on Carman Crest Drive is currently owned by retired Louis Vuitton executive Michael Silvaggio. He purchased it from White for $3.99 million in 2024, while White initially acquired this stunning home for $3.7 million back in 2018.
Although White was engaged to actress Nina Dobrev until September, he recently visited the home and was so impressed with its charm that he toyed with the idea of purchasing it once again.
Originally constructed in 1955, the residence has been thoroughly renovated by the creative minds at Studio Veren, giving it a fresh, modern appeal.
The three-bedroom, two-bath spread is around 2,000 square feet. It features floor-to-ceiling glass windows that frame the city’s skyline — as well as the hikers in Runyon Canyon.
“The view is sensational, whether you are in the kitchen or the living room, morning, noon or night. It is completely captivating,” Silvaggio told Gimme Shelter.
“The space washes over you, creating a sense of comfort while still feeling elevated and sophisticated. That was the intention — to create a home that feels sensual and warm, yet undeniably refined,” Silvaggio said.
Listing broker Chase Rogers, of the Beverly Hills Estates, was more succinct.
“It’s bad ass,” he told Gimme. “You can see people walking up the trail. You have a clean shot of the people and the city. The views are framed and have a bigger impact and ‘wow’ than your typical skyline view,” he added.
Inside, the custom furnishings, handcrafted for each room, come with designer fabrics. There’s also a two-car garage with a Tesla charger.
The house also has a new roof, new windows, wide-plank floors and custom walnut cabinetry. A chef’s kitchen features a custom banquette with panoramic views. Even the exterior has had a glow up, wrapped in cinderblock, with flagstone terraces and landscaped grounds.
“The house has an edgy, cool vibe to it,” Rogers said. “Cinderblock wraps the facade of the house and the same wood is in the living room. There is a lot of continuity.”
