A rare fusion of modern architecture and timeless design, this five-bedroom, seven-bath gated private retreat offers nearly 5,000 square feet of refined living on the largest lot in the neighborhood. Inspired by the Zen principles of minimalism and harmony with nature, this elegant, one-of-a-kind Melrose Village home offers sophistication and serenity in the heart of the city. Sunlight pours through Fleetwood pocket doors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow designed for contemplation and celebration alike. The lush landscape is anchored by a dramatic 15-foot waterfall set amidst a privacy wall of bamboo and a Japanese Maple. Step inside to find a dramatic open floor plan, soaring ceilings, glass walls, and an abundance of natural light. The heart of the home is a chef's kitchen outfitted with built-in Miele appliances, dual dishwashers, a wine fridge, and an oversized butler's pantry. Entertain with grace or unwind in peace on the expansive Ipe wood deck, beside the saltwater pool and oversized spa, or in the fully appointed cabana with outdoor fireplace and full bath. Smart A/V and in-ceiling speaker systems in every room and outdoor space ensure you'll be ready to set any mood, anywhere. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private sanctuary with panoramic views, a double-sided fireplace, spa-inspired bath, and boutique-worthy walk-in closet. There are three additional bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms (one bedroom is used as an upstairs den) and a laundry room. The fifth bedroom with ensuite bath is on the first floor. Three additional spacious terraces offer quiet escapes above it all. Throughout the home, designer stonework, a Vitsoe shelving system, and smart security features complete this tranquil, yet technologically advanced hideaway tucked inside one of LA's most vibrant neighborhoods.
