Two Homes Built in L.a.’s Most Vibrant Neighborhoods—West Hollywood and Pasadena. These Impressive Custom-built Homes Will Stop You in Your Tracks

Custom-built Statement Maker in West Hollywood

Newly erected in the heart of one of L.A.’s most vibrant neighborhoods, this impressive showplace has emerged as an ideal destination for those who desire to host what surely will be some of the most talked-about soirees in town.

“This very special property exudes elegance and stylized contemporary comfort,” says listing agent Leslie Romenesko of Douglas Elliman.

“The thoughtful construction and attention to detail, combined with high-end design and timeless finishes, make this home an entertainer’s dream.”

Think sleek environs that give way to a dramatic formal living room boasting an eye-catching, book-matched marble fireplace, along with a formal dining room appointed with an elegant designer chandelier dangling from an attractive wood-beamed ceiling, and a gourmet kitchen outfitted with top-of-the-line Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a large island with seating, built-in banquette, and spacious butler’s pantry.

Another standout: a professional-style screening room, custom black marble bar, and secluded backyard sporting an inviting pool and spa, and covered lounge area with cozy fireplace.

Stamps & Stamps Custom-built Masterpiece

One of the most unusual aspects of this Stamps & Stamps-designed masterpiece nestled in South Pasadena’s prestigious Prospect Circle community? It was specifically built to accommodate the lot’s existing trees, including 100-year-old cedars, a massive oak, and quartet of mature conifers.

“No doubt this is an exceptional home for the neighborhood,” says listing agent Michele Downing of Compass.

“There is a balanced blend of the new build and the trees, and once the new plants have grown to their potential, it will only add to the ambiance of the front and rear grounds.”

Also deserving of attention is the abode’s striking architectural features—like a 9-foot pivoting glass front door, and loft-like lounge with exposed joists and floor-to-ceiling glass doors—as well as the contemporary Gina Holz-designed interiors highlighted by a professional chef’s kitchen, and luxe master suite with spa-like bath, custom closet and balcony. Not to be left out: a resort-style backyard showcasing a terraced pool and spa, and built-in barbecue.
