Whether for informal or large-scale occasions,
this home offers plenty of options for year-round
entertaining. ere's the large open-plan family
room, with folding doors that fully open it to the
backyard, and a generous limestone patio with
room for a long dining table. Along with heaters,
inset into the roof, and a barbecue, there's the
sunken marble fire pit that helps make this area
a welcoming gathering spot on chilly evenings.
Warm up here after a dip in the pool and a long
soak in the hot tub. Or, with a carefully curated
Spotify playlist providing background music piped
in via the residence's entertainment system, it
sets up the perfect finish to a long dinner shared
with good friends. e bar, game area, and den
on the lower level are another draw. After a pool
tournament and a few specialty cocktails, garnished
with fresh fruit found at the nearby Santa Monica
Farmers' Market, invite colleagues to stay for a
screening. e tiered and insulated theater room
is a comfortable spot for just such a moment. For
more significant evenings, a formal dining room
and living room provide the ultimate setting.
Of course, entertaining is but one of the pleasures of
having a house that lives as beautifully as this one.
e hospitality it extends to guests is only matched
by the luxury that it brings to everyday activities.
is is a place that functions equally well for private
times as it does for public occasions, with each of the
six en-suite bedrooms, including one on the lower
level, offering the ideal living quarters for a nanny
or long-term visitor, guaranteeing the ultimate in
rest and relaxation. Certainly the master bedroom
is a complete retreat unto itself, with a cavernous
closet, private office, and an exquisitely appointed
bathroom with separate toilet rooms. It is tempting
to spend entire weekends here, and with a lower-
level home gym on the premises, that is entirely
possible. If you're a lover of predawn circuit
training, rest assured that with the gym's Pavigym
flooring, a specially designed rubber material that
reduces noise and vibration, a vigorous workout
session would not wake the family. A steam shower
and cedar sauna would, however, make for a
bracing start to a busy day.
ough it is hard to leave the house such as this one
for the chaos of the outside world, remembering all
you might have to come home to, helps. Pull out a
bottle from the wine cellar, with its black smoke
mirror backdrop and cedar shelving, and compose
a toast to a life well-lived.
