10865 Savona Road Bel-Air

Stunning ocean, city, and mountain vistas set the tone for this pavilion-style dwelling nestled atop a secluded promontory in Bel-Air. Add in a chic design masterfully crafted by a protégé of renowned architecture firm Buff & Hensman, and this is “an ideal property for someone who seeks incredible views and has a love for mid-century architecture,” says listing agent Kelli Isbell of Compass.

“The home captures what all buyers want—easy indoor-outdoor flow. You’re drawn to the incredible views from every part of the house.” Also of note is the home’s overall simplistic, clean feel, says Kelli Isbell.

Think open living space highlighted by floor-to-ceiling walls of glass, wood-framed ceilings, and limestone flooring throughout, paired with highlights like a modern large, marble eat-in kitchen with top-notch appliances that opens to a formal dining room, and a posh master retreat boasting a fireplace, bath with dual sinks, a soaking tub, vanity and walk-in closet, and access to an open patio with gas fire-pit.

Topping it all off? Drought-tolerant landscaping designed by an award-winning landscape architect featured in The New York Times Magazine.

1515 Umeo Road Pacific Palisades

3 bedrooms | 4,052 sq. ft.

Thoughtfully reimagined for the 21st century by noted architect Eve Sobesky, this residence in Pacific Palisades’ coveted upper Riviera neighborhood has retained its enduring mid-century modern appeal. Formerly owned by Academy Award nominee Robert E. Thompson, and now resided in by his daughter, the home showcases bright, open living spaces bedecked with soaring ceilings, white oak flooring, soaring walls of glass, and a distinctive design.

“First time on the market in decades, this ranch-style home has a ‘wow’ factor that hits you like a warm, California breeze when you walk through the modernized front door and into the spacious open floor plan,” says listing agent Cynthia Gates of Douglas Elliman.

The secluded, primary suite is “a slice of heaven,” she adds, complete with an oversized marble soaking tub ideal for bubble baths, a cozy double-sided fireplace, and dazzling mountain vistas. A lofty great room, meanwhile, opens via sliding glass doors to an outdoor dining area capped off with a majestic tree running through its center.
