Architect Russell Shubin of Donaldson + Partners is behind one California dwelling that certainly fits the bill. Built with the “highest quality materials,” according to the listing, the facade of the Pacific Palisades stunner prioritizes a fusion of natural materials like wood, stone, and steel that create a lasting first impression. Unique design features like staircases encompassed by slatted Afromosia wood, softly illuminated rusticated stone walls, and one fireplace built into a wood-paneled wall not only add warmth to the $18.5 million gem but also highlight its timeless design. Drew Fenton of Carolwood Estates holds the listing.
