As you walk in the front
door you are greeted by an inviting, warm family room that is flooded with
natural light and a peaked ceiling reaching over 11 feet.This room opens through double doors onto a
generous deck.But we will get back to
that in a moment. This is just the beginning of this spectacular
home.
The main floor
includes the family room, open kitchen with stainless appliances, formal dining
and living rooms along with a bedroom/office and half bath. The
bedroom/office has its own Fleetwood® exterior pocket door to the deck, making
it the perfect guest bedroom or an office that clients can access without
coming through the main house. Walking through the double doors of the family
room, you will find a deck that offers plenty of space for lounging, eating and
grilling, along with a walk to the “lookout” that gives you inspiring views of
the adjacent hills, valley and even the skyscrapers downtown (you can catch the
Fourth of July fireworks at Dodgers Stadium from your own “perch”). At
night, the deck is illuminated by an original, site-specific sculptural fence designed
and created by L.A. architect Robert Ley.
A hundred plus guests
can easily be entertained on the three levels of interior and exterior
spaces.There is even a bocce court
located on the lower level, adjacent to the garden. Brazilian Mahogany
and French, White Oak floors throughout.
Downstairs, you will
find the private spaces of the home. The master suite provides an
accommodating space that includes a sitting area, an enormous walk-in closet
and 16-foot pocketing Fleetwood® glass doors that open an entire wall to create
a boundary-less relationship between the master bedroom and your own secluded
patio. The patio is complete with an outdoor shower and ample
privacy.The master bath is a
celebration of form and function. Based on Japanese wet rooms, the entire space
is framed in a rare stone and includes an oversized soaking tub and rain
shower. Two more bedrooms, a full bath, laundry/mudroom, two linen
closets and ample storage room complete the lower level of this home.
The third level of the
home includes a two-room studio with closet and design plans for an
apartment/mother-in-law living space.It
also makes for a private art or music studio with natural light and a Dutch
door that opens to the shaded backyard.
The grounds of this home
have been abundantly and meticulously landscaped. The backyard is completely
private with a fully mature Bay hedge. Lemon and Lime trees.
Drought tolerant plantings, raised planting beds, adult shade trees, Bocce ball
court, decomposed Granite patio, and a play structure and sand pit for a child
. . . or the child in you.
This home has “owned”
solar panels (no monthly rental costs!) and a gray water system (among the
first to be granted a permit by the city of Los Angeles). Dual zone heat
and air. Tankless water heater. All new windows and doors. Fresh
paint throughout. Integrated Creston entertainment system with Orb® speakers
is wired throughout the property and allows you to get your groove on, inside
