Description

Originally envisioned in 1956 by famed architect Edward H. Fickett, a luminary of California Mid-Century Modernism, and later reimagined and expanded by well-known production designer Perry Blake, who was also mentored by the legendary Frank Gehry, this residence is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and timeless architectural design. Nestled within the tranquil landscape of Brentwood’s upper Mandeville Canyon, you’ll feel in touch with the natural world, although still just a short 10 minute ride into town. As you enter through the privately gated front yard, a covered walkway laced in vines leads you to the home’s welcoming entry. The first floor is light and bright with an open floor plan, seamlessly blending the living room, dining room, and bar with the lush views of the pool, backyard landscaping and verdant hills. Off the main living area is a well-appointed kitchen with mudroom/laundry room, leading to a 2-car garage. Completing the first floor is an elegant half bath, a guest bedroom suite, pool bath/changing area, and a storage area. Ascend the stairs toward a striking atrium with floor to ceiling walls of glass, providing stunning natural light and more luscious green views. The generous second level offers a family room with balcony to take in the relaxing views, three guest bedrooms, two baths, an office and a luxurious primary suite. A secret passageway separates one guestroom and the office space from the rest of the second level, with an additional back staircase leading down to the mudroom and kitchen. Accenting each room are scenic glimpses of rolling mountaintops, tall trees and the beautifully landscaped hillside above the resort-like backyard. This uniquely refined living experience awaits your arrival.
