Williams. "The home is not just aesthetically gorgeous—but
allows the lucky owner to live with every modern amenity." Each
bedroom is en suite, and housed mainly on the second floor. Of
note on the sleeping level is an airy master suite where you can
fix your morning brew (there's a designated area for a coffee
machine and a refrigerator), then step onto the adjoining deck
and wake up amid the fresh green landscape. In the evening,
flames from the deck's al fresco fireplace flicker shadows across
the white-oak beams along the vaulted ceiling. Adding to the
close-to-nature quotient is yet another deck in the master, this
one adjoining the spa-styled master bathroom.
The first floor is home to gathering and entertaining spaces
that are closely linked to the bounty of natural beauty surround-
ing the residence. "The home features a lot of outdoor, usable
space," says Edlen. "The floorplan has been customized to fit
the site, as well as the view angles, outlooks and indoor-outdoor
flow." Rooms have all been shaped to yield optimum views and
natural light, and are dressed in a warm, urbane elegance. Pale,
wide-plank floors of French oak offer an earthy counterpoint to
glam features, like glossy, sand-on-blue quartzite countertops
in the kitchen—a breezy space equipped with eye-catching
industrial appliances including a 5-foot sink, a gleaming Wolf
48-inch range and a Sub-Zero 60-inch refrigerator. Bathrooms
feature sleek Italian plumbing fixtures and floors of intricately
mapped Terrazzo tile, also from Italy. No space in the house is
an afterthought: Even the office is vibrantly decked in Christian
Lacroix wallpaper; and the powder room has textured natural
fabric—metallic grasscloth, imported from Belgium—along its
walls. "The final product," says Williams of her approach, "is a
top-of-the-line designer home that is truly one of a kind."
"'Upscale elegance meshed with functionality' was the vision for this beautiful,
contemporary Pacific Palisades family lifestyle home"
