$3,795,000 - 12317 Rochedale Lane, Los Angeles

Los Angeles Home For Sale

Few homes carry a legacy quite like this one. Originally created in 1951 by celebrated modernist architects A. Quincy Jones and Whitney R. Smith, 12317 Rochedale Lane stands as one of Los Angeles' most storied architectural addresses - thoughtfully renovated and available for the first time in years. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the coveted Crestwood Hills community, this 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom contemporary spans 2,659 square feet on a lush 9,102 sq ft lot. The striking all-white exterior with its clean geometric lines and sculptural form makes an immediate impression, while inside, soaring vaulted beam ceilings and walls of oversized windows fill every room with natural light framing lush canyon treetops. Rich dark hardwood floors run throughout the generous open living and dining areas, creating a warm, grounded contrast to the bright and airy architecture. The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece, outfitted with professional-grade Viking appliances including a French door refrigerator and double wall oven, bold navy cabinetry, warm butcher block countertops, floating wood shelves, and designer pendant lighting. French doors open directly to the gardens, making indoor-outdoor living completely effortless. Outside, the private grounds are nothing short of magical. A stone waterfall cascades into a tranquil pond surrounded by lush, colorful plantings, while a flagstone patio with a fire pit sets the scene for evening gatherings under string lights. Multi-level terraced gardens with mature palms and tropical foliage rise up to a large, flat grassy lawn with sweeping open-sky canyon views that glow at golden hour. A fourth bedroom suite on the lower level, with its own entrance and three-quarter bath, completes the home as a private guest retreat, office, or studio.
