About This Home
As of April 2013Masterfully designed in 1970 by Ray Kappe, this significant property in prime Santa Monica Canyon has been thoughtfully restored and transformed into one of the most marveled architectural homes on the Westside. Walls of wood and glass embrace both the work of Kappe and engulf oneself into the surrounding trees and canyon. Consisting of 4 bedrooms, this recently updated three level property offers complete privacy, magnificent grounds and detailed finishes. Numerous decks and fire pits abound as well as a koi pond and new pool and spa. The full floor master has a private rooftop viewing deck overlooking the canyon. Complete with large glass rooms for entertaining, as well as a generous screening room, this property is bound to leave one speechless. A truly remarkable piece of Southern California Architecture in a private Canyon setting.
