5502 Tuxedo Ter, Los Angeles, CA 90068

Description

AIA-designed and tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in The Oaks, this modern home is remarkably private from the street, then opens almost completely to the views behind it. Walls of glass frame Los Angeles below, stretching from the city skyline to the ocean, the surrounding hills and the Hollywood Sign from nearly every room. Inside, the house feels open and expansive. Hardwood floors, high ceilings and natural light bring warmth to the main living spaces, while the living and dining rooms open directly to the decks. The connection between indoors and out feels effortless, with the view always just beyond the glass. The kitchen sits with a full view, anchored by a large island, glass-front cabinetry and a full suite of Subzero, Viking, and Bosch appliances. It is generous, functional and designed for the way people actually live, whether that means cooking for two or having a house full of guests. The primary suite feels like a true retreat, with its own fireplace, sitting area, walk-in closet and a spacious bath with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub and glass-enclosed steam shower. A wall of glass opens directly to the upper deck, with the views stretching out beyond it. Three additional bedrooms carry the same clean lines, natural light and sense of calm found throughout the house. Outside, multiple decks and terraces make the most of the setting, with plenty of room for dining, lounging and taking in the view. The spa is perfectly positioned above the city, and as the sun goes down, the lights below begin to take over. Fleetwood glass, hardwood floors throughout and a two-car garage complete the home. But ultimately, it is the setting that makes this one special: private, peaceful and open to a view that stretches beyond the sea.
