Billed as contemporary L.A. style architecture, the palatial design is a timeless mix of classical, traditional and modern. The stately stone and concrete structure, with substantial pillars, strong horizontal lines and arched-topped upper windows, sits on two park-like acres ringed by privacy hedges and mature trees.
When snow graces the copper roof, there’s plenty going on indoors — a central garden to enjoy, an indoor swimming pool and hot tub and an indoor sports court that can be used for basketball or squash. But that just scratches the surface.
Living spaces on the back side of the house look out onto a terrace and the grounds.
