A custom-built sanctuary on over an acre in Rustic Canyon, 800 Brooktree Road's thoughtful, meticulous design surpasses all expectations. Spanning 9,708 square feet across two levels with 8 bedrooms and 6.5 baths, this home was designed by architect Bill Neburka to embrace curves, soft lines and have an inviting natural palette. Living spaces both indoor and outdoor have been crafted to maximize comfort and harmonize with the verdant surroundings. Once inside, guests are greeted with floor-to-ceiling windows framed in natural wood hues, which showcase stands of mature native trees more than 20 sycamore and coastal oaks grow on the carefully maintained property. The estate's entrance also presents hand-fired tile and an abstract sycamore installation by artist Sofia Londono, setting the stage for the home's nature-centric ambiance. Interiors by designer Jeff Guga boast soaring ceilings, wide-plank white oak hardwood floors, and soft-hued walls finished in hand-troweled Clayworks plaster. Organic materials throughout the homewood, clay and brasswere hand-selected for their warmth and durability. Custom lighting, including skylights with color LEDs, enhance the home's abundant natural light. Curated finishes include Heath floor tiles made in California, hand-crafted brass plumbing fixtures by Vola and Reveal lift and slide doors. The chef's kitchen, music room and living room (replete with 15-foot ceilings) each face a stunning grove of sycamores, while the primary bedroom overlooks a stand of coastal oaks. Outside, find expansive Alaskan cedar decks, which look out on a divine landscape designed by Jay Griffith, as well as a 60-foot saline lap pool and a standalone pool house complete with an additional bedroom and full bath. Two nearby creeks add a soothing soundtrack of flowing water throughout the year and charming frog songs in the summer. Built to last with enduring modern design and unparalleled craftsmanship, 800 Brooktree Road couples peaceful daily living with true convenience. Its ultra-private location is less than 5 minutes from the beach, Palisades Park, and the shops and restaurants of Montana Avenue and Downtown Santa Monica.
