F
ew properties offer such a high level of
design and quali features, in addition to
a location that provides both tranquili
and access to the ci, making this six-bedroom,
eight-bathroom house a rari. Situated at 321
S. Chadbourne Ave., south of Sunset near the
Brentwood Country Mart, and spread over almost
half an acre, this gated Spanish-sle estate offers
the best of prestigious neighborhood Brentwood
Park. Just a few steps from coffee shops, restaurants
and boutiques, however, it remains a peaceful
haven thanks to minimal traffic.
Born from the imagination of the current
owners—a couple with three daughters—the
house was custom built in 2010 in a European
Villa architectural sle, differentiating itself
from the East Coast/Cape Cod properties
characteristic of the area.
Originally painted in a more traditional
Mediterranean color, the home now features
white walls on all its facades and interior
spaces. e fresh, clean walls help to subtly
convert its Mediterranean aesthetic into a more
contemporary Spanish look. e decision to
leave the precast in its original tone was to give
the home depth.
Immediately upon entering the front gate, one
walks under a canopy of greenery, transporting
them to a kind of European villa. e owners
invested a lot of attention in the landscaping,
creating inviting outdoor areas that are very
private and ideal for entertaining at the same
time. Offering plen of options to enjoy the sunny
and warm weather all year long, the backyard
comprises a covered loggia with a fireplace
and hanging lights, a built-in barbecue with an
outdoor counter and seats, a fire pit, a large pool
and an alfresco dining area right off the inside
family room. "ere are really multiple areas to
hang out outside," says Griffin Riddle, who is co-
listing the home with Santiago Arana, managing
partner at e Agency, for $13,950,000. "at
was the goal the owners wanted to achieve: an
outdoor area perfect for entertaining whether
one is eating, cooking, sitting by one of the two
fires, or swimming in the pool."
e interior of the home, meanwhile, features
an open layout, expansive rooms and soaring
ceilings that offer a sense of airiness and
grandeur. "A custom home always has a different
feel when compared to a spec home that is built
with the intention of selling," notes Santiago
Arana. "e homeowners handpicked all the
finishes and imagined the house for themselves,
so there is always more personali put into
it." e reason why this particular proper is
currently on the market is simple: "e owners
have loved every second of living there," says
Arana. "eir kids are now grown and out of
the house so they do not need this much space
anymore. ey are ready for the next chapter in
their lives and now present the opportuni for
another growing family to take over and create
their own memories in this stunning home."
