About this property
Welcome to paradise in this Mykonos inspired oasis in the heart of Beverly Grove, an organic residence that stands as a masterclass in sophisticated design and high-end craftsmanship. Ideally positioned in the cultural center of Los Angeles, the home immediately distinguishes itself with a sculptural spiral staircase that wraps around a mature live olive tree, rising toward a dramatic skylight that serves as a sun-drenched architectural core. Throughout the interior, a tactile palette of hand-applied plaster and travertine finishes meets contemporary curves and vaulted arches, cultivating an atmosphere that is as serene as it is cerebral. Floor-to-ceiling glass sliders dissolve the boundaries of the living space, opening entirely to a private, resort-style backyard where a pool, spa and built-in BBQ are curated for seamless, alfresco entertaining. A detached ADU offers a versatile footprint for a quiet home office, creative studio, or guest retreat, adding significant value to the estate. Upstairs, the primary suite acts as a private sanctuary light-filled refuge featuring dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bathroom, complemented by two additional guest suites. Complete with integrated smart-home technology and a two-car garage, this residence delivers high-design living in an unbeatable location, placing the city's most acclaimed dining, shopping and culture at your doorstep.
