If you've seen this home before, you won't recognize it now! Enhanced by land-value pricing and set on an 80ft wide upper 500 block lot in one of the most exclusive locations in the westend Flats of Beverly Hills, this sensitively-updated 1971 Japanese Modern by the Dorman/Munselle group possesses an endlessly chic "lodge" aesthetic. Introduction of natural stone finishes complements the original cedarwood elements. This ultimate spectacularly sunlit indoor/outdoor home is distinctively angular and features super high vaulted ceilings, ridge skylights, glass walls, wood/tile/stone floors, and a fantastic open entertainer's plan. Entry foyer leads to a gallery, large dining and living spaces, and a spacious bar/family room/kitchen combination with original turquoise brick-tile flooring. The main public spaces and two generous high vaulted-ceiling bedrooms flow to the rear grounds including a six-sided polygonal pool, patios, turf, and mature foliage. Each downstairs bedroom has a private covered patio enhancing the resort-like feel of the home. Accessed via a sculptural "floating" wood-clad staircase, the large primary retreat sits independently upstairs and contains an office/gym/sauna room with outdoor access via a circular stairwell to the pool area. There are also extensive closets and a unique dual-sided bath created by utilizing partition walls allowing for a simpler future spatial reorganization. Direct-entry oversized 2 car garage for privacy and security along with a wide sweeping circular driveway were designed for off-street parking galore. Classic 70's "Mod" curb appeal and within moments to the best of Beverly Hills and the Westside, this gem is awaiting a deserving buyer to take it to the next level. Certificate of Historic Ineligibility issued by the City of Beverly Hills in 2024.
