Los Angeles Home Sale

Dramatic designer showpiece by The Archers in the Los Feliz Oaks. A considered and striking reimagining of early midcentury, single-level architecture, both refreshingly unique and highly functional. Remarkably sited on a quiet cul-de-sac with ideal southwest orientation, the home opens to a flat, grassy yard and sweeping hillside views. Unifying the interiors is concrete block tile flooring and a rich palette of materials. Cinderblock and pink stone fireplace anchor the wraparound sliding walls of glass and windows in the living room, blurring the boundary between indoors and out. Black walnut monolithic room partitions cleverly conceal kitchen storage and form a sculptural foyer wall, complemented by curved walls leading down a corridor with a dramatic smoked mirror cabinet. Unexpected moments abound - vibrant cobalt lacquered cabinetry with movable walls in the kitchen, boldly styled bathrooms with custom de Stijl-inspired tile mosaics, lacquered brass accents, drab green casement windows with reeded privacy glass, and exposed tube lighting. Bedrooms offer privacy and generous storage, with the primary suite opening directly to the yard and view. A detached garage with laundry sits just off the lower dining patio. This jewel-box residence exemplifies luxury and restraint, offering elevated design within a highly livable, efficient footprint in one of the most sought-after enclaves in Los Angeles. As day turns to night, the city below lights up through the trees, illuminating the ridge line. Neighboring homes glow across the canyon - this perfect blend of solitude, community, and nature is why so many favor the Los Feliz Oaks.
