Property Description

Distinctive mid-century architecture, exceptional custom craftsmanship, and dramatic indoor-outdoor living come together in this one-of-a-kind Southern California home. Natural light pours in through clerestory windows, skylights, glass-block walls, and expansive glass, creating bright, open living spaces while maintaining a remarkable sense of privacy.At the heart of the home is a true cook's kitchen built with an extraordinary level of precision. Custom Europly 13-core maple cabinetry was fitted to approximately 1/16-inch tolerances and finished with hand-selected, quarter-sawn figured teak, book matched for continuous grain across the cabinetry. Dovetail drawers, Blum BLUMOTION soft-close hardware, heavy-duty slides, pull-out trash and recycling, appliance garage, spice storage, peg organizers, vertical storage, recessed pocket drawers, and a New York-style wall pantry reflect the same attention to function.The kitchen is finished with 2-1/4-inch Caesarstone quartz, a 10-foot cast-glass feature, a 36-inch Kohler stainless sink, Grohe fixtures, InstaHot, and a five-stage reverse-osmosis system with UV filtration. Premium appliances include Thermador double ovens, warming drawer, cooktop and glass vent hood, plus a Miele built-in whole-bean coffee system and Miele steam oven. Two 4' x 4' skylights and layered Lutron scene-controlled lighting complete the space.The adjoining great room features warm wood flooring, soaring ceiling lines, architectural glass block, a dramatic fireplace, and generous areas for living and dining. Flexible additional spaces offer options for bedrooms, office, studio, or lounge use.Thoughtful upgrades extend beyond the interiors. The garage is equipped with two EV charging hookups, the roof is approximately six years old, and the home features fully paid-off, operational solar panels, offering the next owner the benefit of an existing solar energy system without an outstanding solar lease or payment.Outdoors, mature palms and established landscaping create a lush, private setting around the swimming pool, delivering the quintessential Southern California indoor-outdoor lifestyle. This is a home defined not simply by style, but by craftsmanship, thoughtful engineering, energy-conscious upgrades, and details rarely found at this level.
