Single Family Residence In Los Angeles

Nestled in the hills of Highland Park, near historic Garvanza and minutes from South Pasadena, this exceptional residence brings together Mid-Century Modern architecture, thoughtful design, and effortless California living. Reimagined by SAS Homes with interiors by Shelby Kass Design, the home blends natural materials, refined finishes, and a warm, sophisticated palette. Set on an expansive 11,000 sq ft lot, this 4BD | 3.5BA residence showcases dramatic gabled rooflines, soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed oak beams, and expansive walls of glass. Skylights and clerestory windows fill the interiors with natural light, creating a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. The main level unfolds into an open living space where architectural details take center stage. Multi-panel folding glass doors open onto terraced grounds for effortless indoor-outdoor flow. A chef’s kitchen features custom white oak cabinetry, a statement Ceppo Beige marble island, matching stone countertops, and premium Thermador and Bertazzoni appliances. Two additional bedrooms, designer bathrooms featuring artisan Cle Tile, a powder room with Roman clay walls, and a dedicated laundry room complete this level. A hardwood staircase leads to the lower level, where the primary suite offers floor-to-ceiling windows framing garden views. An adjoining bonus room provides flexibility as a home office, lounge, or dressing room. Custom built-in oak wardrobes offer abundant storage, while a nearby wine bar adds refinement. The spa-inspired primary bathroom features custom vanities, Sea Pearl Quartzite sinks, a sculptural soaking tub, soft green artisan tile, and marbled terracotta flooring. An additional bedroom completes this level. Outside, the property unfolds into a peaceful resort-style sanctuary beneath mature shade trees. Winding pathways weave through drought-tolerant landscaping, citrus, and avocado trees, connecting outdoor lounging areas, a covered dining pergola, an outdoor barrel sauna, raised vegetable beds, and a tranquil limestone trough water feature. Shelby Kass’s design approach is reflected in natural textures, custom millwork, artisan finishes, and curated lighting. Integrated smart-home tech and built-in speakers provide modern convenience. Moments from York Blvd and Figueroa St, this home offers architectural sophistication, craftsmanship, and tranquil living.
