Description
This unique Mid-century modern estate, designed by noted architect Francis J. Heusel, boldly showcases his style for open and airy spaces, exposed wood beams, and sleek walls of glass. Located in Park Estates, this home's abundant storage, Birch cabinetry, custom hardware and upgrades reflect the original architectural intent. Visitors are greeted by the sound of a tranquil, flowing pond surrounded by a river rock garden, lush and towering greenery and Palos Verdes Moss Back Stone. The Portico's stone wall serves to highlight massive, crafted, floor-to-ceiling double doors with sidelights. Floor-to-ceiling steel windows throughout the home allow in natural light, and highlight multiple gardens, original ponds, and a spacious backyard with a black-bottom, solar heated pool, perfect for entertaining. The inviting foyer includes a coat closet, wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, and custom, wrap-around Teak bookcases that lead to a formal living room. The airy family room features built-in cabinetry, a recessed entertainment center and has views and access to private gardens on one side and the backyard on the other. A large laundry room/Butler's pantry leads to a chef-inspired kitchen that invites guests to dine near the fireplace around a spacious island. Features include Maple cabinetry, recessed and under/over cabinet lighting, granite countertops, and stainless steel backsplash and island's base cabinet. An office/guest bedroom wing includes a secluded office with a private entrance and a bathroom with an oversized, glass-doored step-down shower. The bedroom has ranch windows, a mirrored slider door closet and built-in recessed cabinetry. The primary bedroom suite includes a dressing area lined with custom mirrored and opaque slider door closets, and a shoe closet. A pocket door leads to an upgraded bathroom with step-down doorless shower, 8-jet Sanijet spa tub, granite counters with double sinks and Grohe fixtures. The bedroom has backyard access and the bath leads to a private lanai and garden area with a waterfall pond. An additional bedroom suite has its own full bathroom with slider glass doors to a tub/shower. The bedroom has built-in drawers and cabinets, a mirrored closet and backyard access. Two additional bedrooms mirror the bedroom suite's design and share a bathroom with a step-down doorless shower. A two-car garage leads to an additional single car garage and workshop with a dedicated panel and loft storage above.
