Description
Designed by Italian-born architect Bruno Bondanelli and completed in 2013, this modern architectural residence offers a refined interpretation of Southern California indoor-outdoor living with a strong emphasis on light, privacy, and flexibility. Expansive retractable glass walls throughout the main living spaces create a seamless connection to a private backyard retreat, where a zero-edge swimming pool, generous stone and concrete patio, and manicured landscaping provide an ideal setting for both entertaining and everyday living. Inside, the sun-filled interior is grounded by hardwood floors, stone accents, and thoughtful architectural detailing. A marble-clad central fireplace anchors the living room while subtly separating it from the formal dining area. Clean lines, balanced proportions, and carefully selected materials establish a sense of calm sophistication from the moment you enter. The European-style kitchen is designed for both form and function, featuring a large central island with warm wood detailing, custom alcove shelving, and a premium suite of Miele and Thermador appliances, including an induction cooktop, multiple ovens, and a built-in espresso machine. A casual dining area with built-in bench seating completes the space, making it equally suited for intimate mornings or larger gatherings. The primary suite is privately positioned on the main level with corner retractable doors opening directly to the outdoors. Its spa-inspired bath is finished in marble and includes an expansive vanity and soaking tub, creating a serene retreat within the home. Upstairs, a flexible living area framed by large windows overlooks the neighborhood's iconic Moreton Bay fig trees. An adjacent full bath allows this space to function comfortably as an additional bedroom, office, media room, or guest suite. A detached guesthouse with a full bath offers exceptional versatility and can serve as a private workspace, creative studio, wellness room, or guest accommodations. The surrounding neighborhood is distinguished by its city-protected fig trees and is conveniently located near the Greek Theatre, Griffith Observatory, scenic hiking trails, and a vibrant mix of shops and restaurants. This thoughtfully designed home balances architectural integrity, natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow in a setting that offers tranquility, accessibility, and long-term livability.
