Billionaire Snapchat Co-Founder Bobby Murphy Picks Up Understated Architectural With Great Views for $6M

Published: April 27, 2019 | By: American Luxury Staff

Snap co-founder Bobby Murphy has a new place to hang his hat—or sock away $6 million for investment purposes.

Although the views, layout and geographical position of the PacPal home would indicate residency. But again, the tech guru’s extensive portfolio of luxury homes in the L.A. area might suggest otherwise.

The house is a unique approach to the high modern style. It carries the harmonious living style of a modern, and it was luxurious in its age, just as it is luxurious now. Renovations have been sensitively accomplished, and much of the spirit of the period that saw this home into life remains intact.

The living room is given a marvelous context by the panoramic city and water views outside the oversize windows; an office and library is situated a bit further back in the layout, but receives another layer of glass so it, too, can take advantage of the views. Natural-toned plank hardwood, brick accents that culminate in a strongly expressed modern fireplace with a black steel chimney, a window seat, a wet bar, and a vaulted ceiling distinguish the space.

The home’s formal dining room boasts a period-style brick fireplace; the kitchen brick accents, a prominent fluorescent fixture that has somehow survived the decades, and a nifty arched series of cabinets. The five bedrooms and five baths culminate in a master suite that boasts another fireplace—double-sided so it warms both bedroom and bathroom, and presented with a marble accent wall—as well as abundant glass, and a pair of glass doors for accessing the .3-acre property exterior.

Bobby Murphy’s net worth is in the neighborhood of $2.5 billion.
