Property Description

Sophisticated Hillside Hideaway - with an edge. This MCM jewel was re-envisioned by noted architect Barbara Bestor, featuring several elements inspired by her epic award-winning restoration of Lautner's "Silver Top" in Silver Lake. Balanced with the strengths of site + the structure's native architecture (Keith Marston c. 1953), artisanal specialists + curated materials from around the country contributed to this exceptional estate, a prime example of organic modernism. The current configuration was influenced by the directive to create a restorative sanctuary. Well-considered features + finishes throughout succeed in promoting relaxed & comfortable living in a warm + inviting environment. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows + panoramic views complement the common living areas, thoughtfully deployed wherever possible to blur the distinctions between interior + exterior living. A very special master suite w/ exotic spa-like bath capitalizes on the seamless indoor/outdoor flow with a slide-away wall. Multiple outdoor moments give the property an intimate vibe, while making use of the vast parcel. Impressive post + beam guest house serves as a pool cabana or studio. This incredible La Canada retreat sits on just shy of an acre, at the end of a private driveway, quietly hidden from street above, wrapped by stunning breathtaking San Gabriel mountain views.
