Single Family Residence In Culver City

Designed around a magnificent 75-year-old carob tree, this home embraces the pleasures of Southern California living: open doors, shaded afternoons, and spaces that bring people together while leaving room to retreat. Set in Carlson Park within the Culver City Unified School District, this newly built six-bedroom, six-bathroom residence offers approximately 4,210 square feet with the atmosphere of a private resort compound. Its courtyard layout recalls the ease of classic California indoor-outdoor homes, with distinct spaces for living, working, hosting, and unwinding, all visually connected across the garden and pool. Warm wood, travertine, and deep brown architectural details ground the home, while expansive glass and open-air passages keep it light and airy. The carob’s spreading canopy becomes part of daily life, framing views from within and sheltering the places where you gather outside. A 25-foot sliding pocket door opens the main living room to the courtyard, making it easy to move from breakfast at the kitchen island to an afternoon swim or dinner beneath the tree. The kitchen pairs generous travertine surfaces with built-in Miele appliances, dual convection ovens, a steam oven, and a gas cooktop with a dedicated wok burner. A main-level office offers a designated place to work, with a wet bar and dual-zone wine refrigerator for entertaining afterward. Upstairs, the primary suite creates its own private world with a sitting area and outdoor atrium, while a bridge and deck connect it to the home gym above the pool and oversized spa. Across the courtyard, the guesthouse includes a living room, kitchen, and private upstairs suite, allowing friends and family to settle into their own quarters while remaining part of the life of the home. Patios and inward-facing outdoor spaces offer both privacy and a sense of openness, with places to find company or enjoy a quiet moment alone. A rooftop deck captures views toward the Santa Monica and San Gabriel Mountains, setting the scene for sunset drinks and evenings under the sky. Five-zone HVAC, eight-zone audio, and gated parking for four complete the residence. Beyond the courtyard, neighborhood life includes lunch at Jackson Market & Deli, the shops and restaurants at Platform, and fresh finds at the Culver City Farmers Market. Connected to the Westside, this home feels like its own destination - a place to stretch out, gather, and live with the outdoors close at hand.
