MidCenturyModern

Tucked at the end of a private, gated drive in Brentwood's Mandeville Canyon, this Cliff May-style California Ranch home presents an extraordinary architectural statement amongst over an acre of lush park-like grounds. Initially built in 1951, this single-level modernist retreat invites a seamless connection between bright, open living spaces and the outdoors through walls of glass surrounding the entire backside of the home. Thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living while maintaining the heritage of this iconic Mid Century style, the residence includes every luxury convenience sought by today's most discerning buyers. Enter to a sweeping open layout defined by grand, vaulted ceilings, exquisite original oak accents, and statement-making lighting including designer-selected pieces by Bocci, Artemide Logico, Dierk Van Keppel, French vintage finds, and a commissioned handblown "glass necklace". Ideal for grand entertaining, intimate gatherings, and everyday California living, the layout flows from a formal living room set around a stone fireplace, to a dining room with an original floor-to-ceiling built-in, and on to the family room and gourmet kitchen. The modernized kitchen offers functionality and style with a soothing blue-hued backsplash, abundant custom pantry storage, and professional-grade appliances -- SubZero refrigeration, Wolf double-oven range, dual Cove dishwashers, and a warming drawer. Filled with radiant natural light from skylights and Fleetwood glass doors that frame lush, garden views, the family room provides a dramatic focal point, outfitted with timeless pebble floors, a lava rock fireplace, and oak built-ins that lend depth and texture to the space. Down a thoughtfully lit gallery hallway that doubles as a personal exhibition space, find four of the home's five bedrooms, with the final bedroom on the opposite end. An expansive primary suite has a dedicated sitting room with access to a private patio, abundant custom cabinetry with solid walnut interiors, and an awe-inspiring spa bathroom clad in Calacatta Viola book-matched marble, Waterworks and Kallista fixtures, sculptural lighting, and boasting heated flooring, a soaking tub, and a dual, glass-enclosed steam shower. Flow outdoors to enjoy multiple areas to relax and entertain amidst the tranquility of the stunning canyon backdrop. Completely secluded for privacy and peace of mind, the more than 1-acre grounds are lush with mature landscaping, sprawling lawns, and vine-covered patios. Soak in the California sunshine poolside with the convenience of an outdoor shower and pool bath, dine alfresco with the built-in outdoor kitchen, and enjoy evenings under the stars from the hot tub. Other notable features include a laundry room with view of a custom mural, an attached 2-car garage with built-in storage, and a 10-car motor court set behind an automatic driveway gate. Exceedingly rare, this secluded Westridge Road residence is a true expression of the Brentwood lifestyle -- private, stylish, and moments from the celebrated dining, boutiques, and cultural institutions that define Los Angeles' coveted Westside.
