Set upon an oversized and highly sought-after creekside lot in Brentwood, this ​two story home and full guest home exude a casual, contemporary farmhouse style and vibe. The main residence boasts 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, each ensuite with thoughtful touches that accentuate the home’s overall classic finishes. The master retreat opens to a large balcony overlooking the yard accented by mature bamboo and palms. Other features of the main house include European white oak floors, recessed lighting, built in speaker system, attached 2-car garage and a laundry room with 2 sets of state-of-the-art Samsung washers and dryers. The bedroom suite on the first floor enjoys its own entrance, making it ideal for guests. The open concept kitchen features Calacatta marble countertops, Wolf appliances, wine storage, dual sinks and dishwashers and a walk-in butler’s pantry. The loggia is accessed via La Cantina bi-fold doors that fully open for year-round alfresco dining on the terrace, complete with an outdoor fireplace. The wonderfully imagined yard contains a sparkling pool and spa and a crisp green lawn and lovely deck and patio areas. Step down further to find the detached guest home, which was recognized with a Decade Honor Award by the Los Angeles Chapter of the AIA in 2006, and, in fact, was a frequent haunt of Frank Gehry who inspired its cubist design. The guest house has a bedroom and bathroom, living area, a newly updated kitchen and is surrounded by lush landscaping that maximizes its creekside setting, creating a truly serene oasis.

With the space that was previously taken up by the large tub with larger surround, we added a 6" platform, topped with bamboo flooring, to create a separate informal space at the back of the bathroom. We look forward to checking in and seeing how the citrus trees are growing back there!

Mitsubishi Electric hired the fabulous Atlanta photographer Ron Hart to get some shots of their systems in situ- and he was kind enough to let me include a few of them here on Houzz! Here you see our open concept floor plan. The architect, Jordan, laid out where the cabinets should go in his original design, and then the cabinetmaker Ryan Mathern, my husband and I came up with the aesthetics. We chose Ecotop for the counters, walnut veneer and white no-VOC paint for the cabinetry, Hansgrohe fixtures throughout the house, and strand woven bamboo floors throughout the top level. It's been 3 years since this photo was taken, and I can say our house is now filled with a lot more "stuff" than this minimalistic image shows! Architect: Jordan Williams, Plexus r+d Ron Hart
