A diamond in the ruff, this hillside residence is nestled amongst mature trees in a private, gated enclave of Los Feliz, a neighborhood in the central region of Los Angeles, California. The design of the compound was inspired by the Great Lakes of Minnesota and the Colorado Rockies. The surrounding property features a small meandering creek, mature landscaping, and plenty of wildlife, a rare experience so close to the city. The entrance to the main residence is accessed via a stone walkway leading from a large motor court.

The front door opens to invite you into spaces that seem to flow from one to the next; open plan living, dining, kitchen and family areas. Expansive walls of glass overlook patios and a lovely terraced yard, offering you an undeniable feeling of intimacy. A sky-lit staircase leads you up to the second level, giving one the serenity of being perched in the trees. Featuring a stunning master bedroom suite with en-suite bathroom, as well as a second bedroom and full bath.

This striking piece of real estate is listed for sale on The Agency for $6,495,000.

From the main residence, a private walkway will bring you across a serene expanse of green to a spacious guesthouse. As with the main home, it is also embraced by the warmth of mature landscaping and overlooks areas inspired for play and relaxation.
