Description
Modernized with a thoughtful balance of timeless Mid Century character and contemporary comfort, this beautifully reimagined residence offers an exceptional lifestyle in Brentwood's sought-after Kenter Canyon neighborhood. Designed with effortless indoor-outdoor living in mind, the home combines expansive entertaining spaces with everyday functionality, all surrounded by lush landscaping that creates a remarkable sense of privacy and tranquility. Soaring vaulted and beamed ceilings define the light-filled main level, where integrated surround sound and an open-concept layout create an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. A living room anchored by a gas fireplace opens seamlessly to the backyard through an entire wall of folding glass doors. The dining area is equally suited for intimate dinners or lively gatherings, complemented by a charming built-in banquet for casual mornings. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen pairs striking design with everyday practicality, featuring a substantial stone island, premium appliances including a Thermador double-oven range with pot filler and a built-in beverage center, and ample storage in the walk-in pantry. Nearby, a separate family room with custom built-ins offers a welcoming retreat for movie nights, reading, or working from home. The thoughtfully designed floor plan places three spacious bedrooms on the main level, while the entire upper floor is dedicated to a private primary suite. Framed by vaulted ceilings, the serene retreat opens to its own balcony and includes a generous walk-in closet along with a sunlit spa-inspired bathroom featuring dual vanities and an oversized glass-enclosed shower. Other notable features include a convenient powder bathroom, a dedicated laundry room, and direct access to the attached 2-car garage set behind an automatic driveway gate. Outside, lush, layered landscaping creates a secluded backdrop that feels worlds away from the city while embracing an indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Folding glass doors extend the living spaces onto an expansive tiled patio where a built-in barbecue, bar seating, a fire pit, and the soothing sound of a water feature set the stage for lounging in the Southern California sunshine. Ideally positioned in one of Brentwood's most desirable neighborhoods, the home is moments from the boutiques and acclaimed restaurants along San Vicente Boulevard, Brentwood Country Club, Brentwood Country Mart, and just minutes from the beaches and coastal attractions of the Westside.
