Welcome to this retreat nestled in the hills of enchanting Beachwood Canyon. Offering a harmonious blend of dark and vibrant Japanese design elements combined with an industrial aesthetic, this home stands out from the rest. Spanning nearly 3,000 square feet and perched above the city, the property is framed by open decks and lush landscaping to soak in the scenery of the hills. Upon entering the gates past tall and lush bamboo trees, step over a bridge to enter a living room that boasts views of the Hollywood Hills, Griffith Observatory, Downtown, and the iconic Hollywood Sign. The fantastic indoor outdoor flow and multiple oversized industrial doors allow you to take in the breathtaking hillside views and bamboo gardens. Once open, the oversized doors give the feeling of floating in the clouds! Perfect for hosting, the first floor of the home features a sophisticated Bulthaup-style wet bar in the living room and an open kitchen and dining room with views. A junior suite bedroom with bathroom is also located on the first floor, with a playful pink color to match the kitchen and the dining room aesthetic. A second bathroom on the first floor with floors and shower walls of polished concrete rounds out the space. The lower level of the house has a separate entrance that offers great potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). In addition, this level includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a secondary prep kitchen, a cozy den, and home office (or possible 3rd bedroom) capturing the hillside views. Each bedroom has a mixture of vintage timber flooring and concrete floors that lead out to a wrap-around wood deck that spans both the bedroom and lower level living spaces. All the flooring on the lower level is radiant flooring. Off the lower level are unique wood patio doors designed to look like shoji, or Japanese-style sliding panels. Exterior custom metal panoramic doors hand crafted by Japanese artisans break up the various wood deck spaces for additional privacy. All the bedrooms and rooms on the second floor have exterior deck spaces that lead to the back yard. There is also a lower level deck with pool, which could be updated to a Wabi Sabi style pool. This home also features an attached two car garage, ample gated driveway parking, lush landscaping with tropical vegetation and koi pond, tankless water heater, and security cameras throughout. There is also ample street parking for guests. Whether you're an artist seeking creative inspiration or simply desiring a peaceful escape, this residence invites you to make it your own.
