About this residence

A quintessential Mid-Century Modern retreat, privately sited within the tranquil canyon setting of Brentwood's coveted Upper Mandeville Canyon, this architectural residence, originally built in 1957 and thoughtfully reimagined in collaboration with renowned architect Richard Dodson, A.I.A., embodies the era's ethos of simplicity, functionality, and harmony with nature on an 18,078 square foot lot. A dramatic post-and-beam entry introduces soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wood structure, a sculptural stone fireplace, and expansive walls of glass, dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior while framing serene canyon vistas. Clean lines, organic materials, and an open, flowing floor plan create a timeless modernist sensibility throughout. The main living spaces unfold effortlessly, anchored by a formal dining area with a fireplace that transitions into a thoughtfully designed kitchen featuring a generous center island, sleek cabinetry, and a sun-drenched breakfast banquette, an inviting nod to classic mid-century design. The adjoining family room, complete with a third fireplace, custom built-ins, and integrated media, is enveloped in natural light and oriented toward the surrounding landscape. The primary suite serves as a private, resort-like sanctuary, with direct access to the pool and gardens and a spa-inspired bath illuminated by skylights, offering dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a frameless glass shower. An adjoining office or multi-use room enhances the suite's functionality, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, a glass-wrapped pavilion floats among the treetops, offering sweeping canyon views and remarkable versatility as an additional bedroom suite, creative studio, or media retreat, complete with an additional upstairs full bathroom. A separate library with skylight and private balcony further embraces the home's connection to light, air, and landscape. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the grounds feature a solar-heated pool, curated landscaping, and multiple spaces for relaxation and entertaining. Additional amenities include a guest powder room, dedicated laundry, and multi-zone HVAC. A rare offering that captures the spirit of mid-century modern architecture, where form meets function and every space is in dialogue with its natural surroundings, just moments from the best of the Westside.
