rooms to work in harmony. e backyard, accessed via multi-paned sliding
glass doors, runs the length of both rooms. With its pool, waterfall and fire
pit beckoning, this space is an exemplary example of Southern California's
legendary indoor-outdoor lifesle. Here children can play while their
parents prepare dinner and catch up on the day; par guests can find space
for a tete a tete without wandering away from the main rooms; a hired chef
can perform his magic near friends yet still at a distance from the dining
table. Winter or summer, this is truly the strong beating heart of the home. Its
well-considered sightlines, which visually connect every room on this level,
is a boon, whether one is hosting a large par or relaxing with family. It is a
reminder that connection is what makes a great home.
In cooler weather, a gathering can head for the basement whose large,
light-filled central room, with its high ceilings and munificent proportions,
can easily fit a pool table as well as a generous sectional. With two bedrooms
and two bathrooms on this floor, as well as its own separate entrance, via a
spiral staircase, this level makes it easy for one to be generous with sleepover
invitations. e home's muscles are also on this floor, from a gym to a laundry
room. (ere's also space for a concealed washer-dryer on the top floor.)
e four upstairs bedrooms echo the details that underscore this home's
beau and substantiali—crown moldings, solid doors and considered
proportions. Peaked ceilings ampli the well-designed rooms, plantation
shutters are beautiful and practical, closets and bathrooms are spacious (the
master bedroom's walk-in closet is a room unto itself ), and balconies, off the
master and the landing on this floor, provide vantage points from which to
survey the beau of the surrounding neighborhood. For neighborhood—
and the value of connection, family and friends that it implies—is the very
core of this home.
Many homes are beautiful. Many homes are well-sited. But finding all
desirable attributes in one package? ere simply is no place like this home.
