Classic Modernist Luxury In Brentwood, $17M

by Philip Ferrato


A recently-completed collaboration between architect/developer David Maman and interior designer Leslie Close of Close Design, this home on Brentwood’s Arbutus Drive represents the best in “quiet luxury”—a term that’s overused but still evocative. Absolutely up to the moment in amenities, the property is nonetheless linked firmly to the architecture of 1920s L.A., with subtle echoes of Lloyd Wright’s 1928 Samuel-Novarro residence in a composition of elegant white forms stepping down the steep site above a deeply shaded loggia, plus a nod to his father, Frank Lloyd Wright, in the terraces overhung with trailing plants.

Arranged over three sprawling levels (all conveniently served by an elevator) the home has six ensuite bedrooms, plus another two full baths and three half-baths. Unlike so many houses, the lower level (below) was not an afterthought, with high ceilings, a wine cellar, a gym and wellness suite, an office, and a luxurious home theater.
