1813 Marcheeta Place
One of the best values in the Bird Streets! Tucked away on one of the most highly coveted streets in the Bird Streets, this mid-century modern residence reveals itself as a private world above the city. Nicholas/Budd Architects recast the home with a disciplined architectural eye, preserving the purity of its low-slung form while enriching the interiors with warm natural materials and a heightened sense of openness. A discreet approach gives way to expansive rooms lined in solid oak flooring, where floor-to-ceiling sliding glass walls frame the skyline and draw the exterior into nearly every principal space. The living and dining areas open directly to the patio centered around a sculptural oval pool, heated by both gas and solar. With the glass fully retracted, the home becomes an effortless setting for daytime relaxation and evenings under the city lights. An outdoor fireplace and integrated cooking area extend the experience beyond the interior, while mature landscaping lends the property a quiet sense of enclosure. At the center of the residence, the kitchen pairs custom Macassar ebony cabinetry with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, its rich wood tones illuminated by overhead skylights and softened by views of the surrounding greenery. The adjoining dining area feels intimate yet connected, allowing the kitchen to function as both a design statement and a natural gathering place. The primary suite is positioned as a serene retreat, opening directly to the pool and capturing the city beyond through walls of glass. Its bath continues the home's understated material language with floating wood cabinetry, dual vanities, and a glass-enclosed shower. Three additional en-suite bedrooms offer privacy and comfort for guests, completing a thoughtfully composed four-bedroom floor plan. Crowning one of Los Angeles' most sought-after hillside settings, this timeless mid-century retreat is just moments away from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip.
