The story
- Pool
Tucked away in Benedict Canyon, this residence proves that true architectural pedigree doesn't need to shout to be heard. Originally reimagined by the award-winning Griffin Enright Architects, this single-story mid-century retreat manages to be both a serious design statement and a remarkably easy place to live. The home centers on an airy, open floor plan where exposed maple ceilings and well-placed skylights invite the California sun to do the heavy lifting. Floor-to-ceiling glass serves as a transparent border between the sophisticated interior and a backyard that feels more like a private club than a standard lot. Whether you're poolside on the new natural-wood decking or wandering through the desert-inspired cactus garden, the transition between the two is entirely seamless. The kitchen is a study in functional luxury, equipped with the requisite heavy hitters Viking, Sub-Zero, and Bosch complemented by Dornbracht fixtures and sleek, soft-close cabinetry. Throughout the home, Vola fixtures and vintage sconces provide the kind of subtle, high-end detailing that rewards a closer look. The primary suite is a particular standout, featuring wood-beamed ceilings and a direct connection to the pool and the oak-studded hillside beyond. Guest suites are equally thoughtful, each offering private patios and controlled access, ensuring that visitors feel like they have a wing of their own. Beyond the aesthetics, the home has been meticulously updated with a focus on longevity, from refreshed HVAC and LED lighting to extensive drought-tolerant landscaping and a brushed-aluminum garage door. Located just moments from The Beverly Hills Hotel, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Benedict Canyon that is as polished as it is peaceful.
