On a secluded cul-de-sac in lower Doheny, tucked behind a gated drive, this residence with floor-to-ceiling walls of glass offers panoramic views of the Los Angeles cityscape. Poured concrete floors meet crisp white walls in the elegantly restraint interiors. Those who love to entertain will appreciate the chef’s kitchen, which is organized around a large marble-topped island and outfitted with oak cabinetry and Viking appliances. The expansive primary suite boasts a separate sitting area, fireplace, walk-in closet, and luxurious bathroom with a freestanding tub. A guest casita completes this classic example of California modernism.
