Off-Market | Mount Washington, Los Angeles, CA 90031
First time ever for sale, this extraordinary property is a rare opportunity. Conceived and built by an artist and architect as their own home, this is a study in utilizing light and nature to create a timeless modern work of art. Up a private drive and bordering 280 acres of open parkland, this secluded oasis in the hills above the city is a transportive experience from the moment you step onto the property. Surrounding a center courtyard with walls of glass, the structure displays exceptional knowledge of the classic elements of architecture and scale in a modern but warm environment that incorporates textures and materials to inspire and soothe the soul.
The flexible floorplan provides a four bedroom layout that is currently used as a two bedroom with office and art studio. The primary bedroom opens to the romantic center courtyard, has a large walk in closet and an exceptional bath that juxtaposes sleek marble and stone with Heath tiles, classic light fixtures and modern hardware create an exceptionally soothing environment. The home has polished concrete floors, a fantastic cook’s kitchen with open family area, a formal dining room and a living room with fireplace. Each window perfectly frames the views of trees and nature like a cinematic event. From any place you stand and any direction you glance, there is a moment to behold. The exterior is equally stunning with an approach lined with lemon trees, a grotto with textures of concrete, brick and wood interlaced with a roof of wisteria and a gurgling corner fountain. As you continue to explore the outside you will find a grassy lawn area, hardscaped patios, an orchard of fruit trees and grape vines and unique and thoughtful plantings intermixed with native plants. At the rear of the garden is a gate with key that gives you direct access to a city park of hundreds of acres of open land and steps away from a lake full of turtles, surrounded by trees and views of the downtown skyline.
This exceptional property is truly one of a kind and not to be missed.
