Description
Designed in 1966 by acclaimed architect William Krisel, this Brentwood residence stands as a preserved study in California modernism, where light, landscape, and architecture converge with rare precision. Celebrated for shaping the postwar aesthetic of Southern California, Krisel's vision was defined by clean lines, open living, and a belief that design should elevate everyday life -- and this home embodies that philosophy at every turn. Set discreetly above the street, the single-level floorplan reveals its architectural intent upon entering from the original double doors and Italian terrazzo floors to expansive, unobstructed views from the communal living spaces. A two-sided travertine fireplace anchors the interiors, separating the formal entertaining room from a more intimate lounge framed by warm wood built-ins and a chic wet bar. Walls of glass slide open to a covered patio that spans the length of the home, where serene canyon and mountain views unfold across a grassy backyard shaded by mature trees and layered landscaping. The property extends down the hillside, creating both privacy and the opportunity to design a true resort-style retreat. The reimagined kitchen retains its modernist spirit with a sculptural island, skylight, ample pantry storage, and sleek contemporary finishes. A breakfast nook and built-in workstation enhance daily living, while the adjacent formal dining room and entertaining areas flow seamlessly to the outdoors. Four bedrooms include a tranquil primary suite with generous closet space and a luxurious stone-clad bath. Additional amenities include brand new AC/Heater units, laundry room, and a two-car attached garage. Ideally situated in Kenter Canyon, the home feels worlds away yet remains close to Westside favorites like the area's fine dining, boutiques, top rated schools, and is just minutes to the beach. Preserved with integrity, this rare Brentwood offering honors the legacy of one of California's most celebrated architects and presents an opportunity to inhabit an authentic work of modernist design.
